Fall Interior Design Upgrades

With the final days of summer approaching, we asked our decorators for quick, smart tips on bringing interior design improvements to your home in Fall 2018 so that you can stay one step ahead as the season progresses as you are most likely to be spending money will be more time inside.

Enjoy our roundup of the top home decor trends to try out in your home this season and beyond with ease and authority.

Lively forms

Sometimes a small stool is enough to bring in playful shapes, patterns and colors. Add bold hues of different shapes to update your home with eye-catching effects – stripes, geometric colors, polka dots and blocks of color.

Make it modern and combine graphic geometric shapes, vibrant colors, and clean lines while celebrating the unexpectedness of a beautifully deliberate clash.

Artisanal upgrades

With global eclecticism gaining traction in the design world and ethical and human-inspired handcrafted housewares moving around, feel good pieces are key.

Think tufted rugs, decorative quilts, unique handcrafted textiles, and organic wood elements to create visual interest while adding a cozy feel to create warmth in dark, drab moments.

Autumnal shades

When we think of interior design improvements in Fall 2018, the first thing that springs to mind are warm, autumnal prints and shades like maple and toast tones.

Subtle and a great alternative to black and navy. Fall rusty tones go well with almost any design style and other hues and look great all year round.

A mixed kitchen

Since contrasting color-blocked clothing has been an important design style in fashion for several years, it was only a matter of time before it reached the interior design world.

To bring this exciting and unexpected look into your home, contrast different textures and colors for a striking statement that is easy to replicate and budget friendly. Add character to any space like the kitchen above by reinterpreting a standout feature in a different color, whether it’s cabinets, accent walls, or two-tone walls.

Modern neutrals

Think of the Scandinavian lightness and think of muted and matte pinks, grays, greens and lilacs, which are not pastel colors but give every room a calming touch.

Also dominant is the presence of stripped wood, wood grain and the return to simple, natural patinas and materials for the ultimate fall 2018 interior design improvement that will last beyond the season.

Night watch green

The official color of the year, Night Watch Green, is a deeper take on bottle green, a color long untouched since the heyday of the early 1990s.

Whether in small doses over accessories or a main feature on an accent wall or carpet – the night watch is seductive, calming and extremely elegant. This makes it a great addition for the coming fall and winter seasons.

Refined industry

The twist on these fall 2018 design styles is to make the popular style softer and more welcoming.

Be sure to introduce lines that are smoother and less brutal and surfaces that are more subtle for a polished shot.

Velvet textiles

A five year trend, strong, luscious velvet fabrications and furniture are clearly here to stay. No wonder, because the textile is very comfortable, durable, easy to care for and feels pleasant.

And for autumn there is no more luxurious finish than velvet. Even better if you have a moody tone or bold jewel-like hues.

Graphic carpets

If you want to upgrade your home with dramatic interior design improvements in the fall of 2018, it sometimes pays to start from the ground up.

Liven up every room in your home with new, meaningful graphic carpets that enhance texture, even if they are tonal, for added visual interest.
