Earthy tones for the bedroom

Earthy tones bring the outside indoors to add a touch of autumn charm. According to Pinterest data, searches for "earthy bedroom" have increased by 194% in the past few months, indicating a growing interest in this trend during the cooler months. The experts at RubyHome suggest using colors inspired by nature, such as browns, greens, warm grays and muted earthy reds. Try adding throw pillows in earthy tones or adding texture to the bed with fabrics such as jute, burlap or nature-inspired patterns such as leaves or animal prints. Wooden furniture such as a wood bed frame, nightstand or dresser helps connect the style with nature.

Pumpkin centerpieces

Pumpkins are good for more than soups or pies. Searches for "pumpkin centerpieces" have increased by 455% in the last two months. Homeowners can opt for carved or decorated pumpkins as a classic choice, or faux pumpkins that can be accessorized with fresh flowers. Choose neutral colors that embrace simple living, such as white, silver, gray or green, to bring the autumn season indoors.

Fall crochet patterns

Pinterest searches for "fall crochet patterns" have surged by 1,011% over the past two months. According to the RubyHome experts, incorporating crochet patterns into home decor is a great way to infuse the living space with warmth and charm during autumn. Household items can be transformed into crochet patterns. Patterns are available for pillow covers, blankets, throws and even photo frames. One idea is to create seasonal pillow covers featuring autumnal designs such as leaves, acorns or owls. These covers easily slip over existing pillows to give decor a fresh look. Alternatively, framing small sections of crochet work is a subtle yet beautiful way to display this design trend in the home this fall.

Kitchen decor

Fall kitchen decor searches are up by 376% over the past two months. Considering the autumn theme, decorators should choose warm, earthy colors, including deep reds, oranges, browns and yellows for tablecloths, napkins, mugs and other decor items. Adding pumpkin spice, cinnamon, apple cider and caramel to a fall coffee station brings warm fall feelings to the kitchen.

Decorating the porch

Searches for "fall porch decorating ideas" have risen on Pinterest by 2,566% since July. Experts at RubyHome suggest adding an autumn wreath to your front door. Including elements of dried leaves, faux flowers or a combination of berries, mini pumpkins or pine cones on the wreath adds to the fall vibe. Planters or pots in warm tones can complement the season or add a burst of color to the porch. One expert tip is to lean cornstalks against the porch railings or arrange hay bales for seating or as a backdrop. These elements can help provide a rustic touch to your fall decor.

Green paint works well in bathrooms and kitchens with white countertops and natural wood accents. Choose a warm green for a bold, striking look that avoids overwhelming the area or clashing with other areas in the home.

Boho bedroom

Bohemian (Boho) bedroom design trends remain popular. This design trend incorporates earthy neutral tones, including whites, warm beiges, soft grays, with layered textiles like Moroccan rugs, embroidered throws, silk curtains, and patterned bedding for a cozy look. Add deep greens, rich rusts, and burnt orange pillow accents, cushions, or artwork to finish the look.

Celebrate the season

Decorating the house for fall is a great way to celebrate the season and get into the spirit of autumn. Fall is all about warmth and comfort. Decorating your home with fall-themed decor can help create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The warm colors and natural elements of fall decor can help boost your mood and make you feel more relaxed and happy just in time for the holidays.
