On late-summer Manhattan streets, whether you were a certified Matthieu Blazy Chanel stan or a total non-fashion person simply looking to escape summer’s all-black uniform, it seemed every New Yorker was sporting a splash of teal, turquoise, or, most fancifully, ‘Tiffany’ blue. But with Labor Day officially behind us, can this month-long aquatic obsession make an equally splashy entrance into fall?

At home, the answer is a resounding yes – not only for its bijou pedigree, but for how neatly it lifts fall’s color palette. ‘Tiffany blue feels especially relevant right now because it sits at the intersection of optimism, nostalgia and luxury,’ says Fairfield County-based interior designer Prudence Bailey, who loves pairing it with decidedly un-summery textures like velvet, mohair, lacquer, and patterned wallpaper.

‘After years of restrained neutrals, I think people are craving color again, but they still want it to feel elevated. This shade does both. It’s joyful and fresh, yet it still carries that sense of polish and sophistication we associate with Tiffany & Co.’

And that polish can take plenty of forms: splashed across the stove with Le Creuset’s new ‘Riviera’ colorway, launched earlier this year; set on the dining table via Ginori 1735’s electric riff, edged in hand-painted gold; or brought to the sofa with Soho Home’s rich geometric velvet and fringe.

‘Pair Tiffany blue with olive, mustard, or maroon, and you won’t look back,’ insists Jonathan Adler Design Studio Creative Director Benjamin Brougham. ‘Not only do these colors work for fall; I think they work even better for fall. They become even more interesting when you strip away their summery associations and set them against richer, warmer colors and materials.’

Then again, Benjamin and his team recently ignored the supporting colors altogether, deciding to ‘double down’ on turquoise with a full-on kitchen color drench. The high-jewelry references remained obvious. ‘We paired it with an antique mirror backsplash and a large brass chandelier. Instant jewel box!’

In a season awash in ruby reds, topaz yellows, and emerald greens, Tiffany blue might just be the gem your usual fall jewelry box never knew it needed. Ahead: 16 invigorating finds that cost less than a tennis bracelet.

The Round is Homes & Gardens' collection of the must-have pieces shaping styles, trends, and ideas. It brings together thoughtfully curated products that express a single moment – offering readers inspiring ways to style their homes through seasonal themes, emerging looks, and everyday pieces.

Beiges, ivories, and shades of gray have long been met with a serious side-eye from interior aficionados. As dependable as plain white, these neutral tones are often dismissed as basic, boring, and – dare we say – borderline bland.

That said, there's a new color trend in town, one that draws pigment from each of these shades to create something altogether more nuanced: mushroom. This earthy neutral makes muted tones feel more interesting, inviting, and unexpectedly fresh, bringing warmth and depth without overwhelming a space.

Sitting somewhere between gray and brown, mushroom strikes an elegant balance that feels both nature-inspired and effortlessly sophisticated. Call it the it-fall color of 2026: mushroom is the common thread grounding some of our favorite seasonal collections, from Crate & Barrel's contemporary fall range to Joon Loloi's heritage-inspired drop. Its soft, organic quality lends itself to interiors that feel equal parts calm and welcoming, while its subtle tonal variations keep a room layered and visually engaging.

In other words, it's anything but bland. This is one neutral we're particularly excited to see take over the design scene. If you're feeling the same, shop 20 mushroom-toned pieces for your home below.

I am a certified fall enthusiast. As soon as the mercury begins to drop, my home is drenched in orange, with pumpkins of every size on any surface they can fit on, and an arsenal of autumnal recipes ready to go.

It is perhaps no surprise that I have been itching to test the Le Creuset Signature Pumpkin Cocotte to see if the seasonal upgrade of the iconic Dutch oven lives up to the hype online.

The short answer? It is. If you love fall and cook or host regularly, it is absolutely worth treating yourself. That said, if I am being picky, it is slightly smaller than the standard Le Creuset Dutch ovens, and the ridged edges can be just a little fiddly at times. However, I would now easily class it as one of my most prized pieces of non-toxic cookware.

Product Specifications: Le Creuset Signature Pumpkin Cocotte

Design and First Impressions

If you are buying the Le Creuset Pumpkin Cocotte, it is (mainly) because of the aesthetic. Beneath it all, it is the same great heritage enameled cast iron as the other Le Creuset pieces, including the Modern Heritage Dutch Oven I reviewed earlier this year.

The pumpkin shape is certainly a novelty, and I am happy to say that it does not impact general performance.

It looks spectacular. The Dutch oven shape lends itself to pumpkin-fication, with the domed lid working perfectly to trap moisture for ultra-tender meats and stews, and fluffy breads. Note that it does need to be lined up perfectly ridge-for-ridge to sit flush with the base and ensure a seal. This can add a few seconds to general use. It's minor, but worth mentioning.

The curled pumpkin stem lid handle is another nice touch, especially in the gold finish. It is generally easy to wrap your fingers around to lift and manoeuvre; however, if you are using thick oven mitts, such as the Le Creuset oven mitts I have, it gets a little trickier. I didn't feel like I was going to drop it at any point, but I felt myself gripping a lot more firmly to ensure I did not.

If you are keen on using kitchenware as decor, this is a worthy choice for fall.

Cooking Performance

Having reviewed the Modern Heritage Dutch oven a few months ago, I found the Pumpkin Cocotte's performance comparable. As with any enameled cast iron Le Creuset piece, it heats evenly over low heat, maintains its temperature, and is relatively low-stick when oiled.

I tested similar recipes again to understand how the new shape and size affected the experience and results:

• Dutch oven bread: The Pumpkin Cocotte is uniquely shaped, and I was intrigued to see if the ridges would transfer onto a loaf of Dutch oven bread. My dough was slightly too small to get the full effect, but there was certainly evidence of the indentations from the Pumpkin ridges. The domed lid trapped moisture perfectly for the first half of the bake, and the bread base crisped beautifully. All in all, it was a deliciously airy loaf.
• Stewed apple: It would not be fall without an apple crisp. While testing some new baking trays, I used the Cocotte to cook down some apple chunks, sultanas, butter, sugar, and cinnamon for the filling. With the lid on, everything softened nicely and quickly, with nothing sticking or burning. I did find that stirring and scraping the edges of the pot was more difficult than in a flat-sided Dutch oven, however, meaning I had to scrape up and down, rather than sweeping round, to ensure no pieces were unmixed.
• Aubergine Tofu Stew: This is where I started to really notice the difference in capacity. The onion and aubergine cooked down nicely without sticking; however, scraping the pan once again felt a little fiddly. As the Cocotte slopes inwards towards the base, the large chunks also felt a little cramped. It transferred well to the oven, however, and the results were deliciously rich.
• Chicken Casserole: A classic test for any Dutch oven that enters my home, the smaller base was once again noticeable. I could only fit three large skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs comfortably in the base of the pot, compared to the four to six I have managed in other pots. It is safe to say that this Cocotte is best for serving up to four people comfortably, rather than a whole crowd. The stew cooked as well as it did in the Modern Heritage pot, with crispy skin and tender vegetables, and absolutely no sticking or burning. When serving, the ridges once again make it more awkward to fish all the sauce out, as I could not sweep the edges smoothly.

Cleaning, Storage and Maintenance

As with all Le Creuset cast iron, you need to hand wash the Pumpkin Cocotte. This helps to protect the enamel, the brilliant coloring, and the gold handle from damage. As it is slightly smaller, the Pumpkin is marginally lighter than the original Dutch ovens (and is some of the lightest cast iron on the market). That said, I have always found it easiest to leave it flat on the counter and fill it with soap and water, scrub it, and then empty it and repeat, rather than trying to hold it with just one hand to avoid slipping and dropping it.

The enamel cleans easily, although, as with serving, the raised ridges mean you cannot get an easy clean sweep around the edges, making the up-and-down technique best for getting all the nooks and crannies. It is not an overwhelming amount of extra effort, but worth noting. The lid is much the same. Once clean, hand-dry to prevent rust from forming on the rim.

Storing the Le Creuset Signature Pumpkin Cocotte is about as awkward as any heavy pot. You need to store it on a low shelf to prevent damaging your kitchen storage or dropping it when you take it out. You also cannot stack this pot, meaning you need to dedicate a chunk of space just for it. This is worth considering if you plan on only using the pot in the fall, unlike me, who plans to leave it on the stove year-round.

My Verdict: Should You Buy The Le Creuset Signature Pumpkin Cocotte?

If you love fall, pumpkins, or cozy seasonal cooking, I absolutely think that the Le Creuset Signature Pumpkin Cocotte is worth treating yourself to, or putting on your holiday gift list. It is a fun, novel addition to your seasonal cookware, is entirely non-toxic to help make a kitchen less toxic, and brings a smile to people's faces when you bring it to a fall table.

That said, it is a little smaller than a standard 5-quart Dutch oven, meaning it isn't the best for cooking for large crowds, and it is expensive ($395 at the time of writing) if you only plan to use it for a few months every year.

It is undeniably pretty, however, making a fantastic piece of seasonal decor that can also bake bread, slow-cook meats, produce bakes, soups and stews, and even display candy for Halloween.

I personally adore mine and have had a blast using it over the last few weeks. It's a piece I will cherish for decades to come.

As I hinted at in my last column, I'm a fall person. The kind who starts putting mums on the porch a little too early, and who gets overly excited at the first hint of a chill in the air. Apple picking fits squarely into that; it's something I've done every year since I was young, and fall doesn't feel complete without it.

When we moved to our town of Easton, Connecticut, almost 8 years ago, the fact that there was an apple farm a mile down the road was a bigger selling point than it probably should have been, and I’ve taken full advantage of it since. I pick apples at least twice a year, so I can capitalize on the different varieties as they ripen.

Unlike when I pick blueberries, where I'm mostly eating them fresh, a good portion of each apple haul is destined to become a baked good. Apple desserts are among my favorites. Further evidence, if you needed it, that I am a fall cliché. I’ve made my peace with it.

A classic pie is always my first move. My aunt is one of the best cooks I know, and her apple pie has become something of a family legend. The recipe her grown nieces and nephews attempt to recreate each year now that she's retired to Florida and no longer hosts every holiday. She gave me her blessing to share it here.

The pie is not too sweet, and the crust is thick and holds its shape. It's perfect on its own, better with vanilla ice cream, and best, in my opinion, with a spoonful of homemade whipped cream. I make one small tweak to the crust when I bake it myself, but I've noted both versions in the recipe so you can decide.

Aunt Dotti's Apple Pie Recipe

Here's the recipe for both the crust and filling, along with some of her notes for getting it just right.

Pie Crust

It's easy to swap out pre-made pie crust, but I think this one is worth the effort, and it comes together faster than you think. Make it before the filling. If the apples sit too long, the pie will be soggy.

• 2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shortening (I sub the shortening for butter at the same ratio, but either works)
• 7 to 8 tablespoons cold water

Cut shortening/butter into flour. Cut shortening into flour using a fork or pastry cutter, working until the mixture looks like small, uneven peas.

Add water gradually. Add cold water one tablespoon at a time, working each addition into a small section of the dough rather than pouring it over the whole bowl. Mix just until the dough holds together.

Divide and rest. Gather the dough into a ball, then flatten it into a round disk. Cut it in half and reshape each half into a flat round. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to use it for the top crust.

Roll and chill the bottom crust. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the other half into a circle large enough to fit your pie pan with a little overhang. Lay it into the pan, pressing gently into the edges. Refrigerate for one hour.

Apple Pie Filling

Make the filling as the pie crust is chilling so the apples don't get a chance to become soggy.

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 8 cups thinly sliced pared apples (a note on apple varieties, below). Try to make them all similar in size so they cook evenly
• 3 tablespoons butter cut into small pieces

Mix the ingredients. Stir the sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and sliced apples together in a large bowl, and pour into the chilled bottom crust.

Add butter. Dot the top of the filling evenly with small slices of butter.

Add the top crust. Roll out the second half of the dough and lay it over the filling. Trim any excess, then flute or crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits into the top to vent.

Protect the edges. Cover the edges of the crust with foil strips or a pie shield to prevent them from browning too quickly.

Bake. Place the pie on a foil-lined baking sheet (this catches any overflow and makes cleanup easy). Bake at 425°F for 40 to 50 minutes, removing the foil from the edges in the last 15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling through the slits.

Cool completely. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool thoroughly before slicing. The rack allows air to circulate underneath, otherwise, the bottom crust will get soggy.

The Best Apples for Pie

Most avid bakers have strong opinions on the best apples for pie. Aunt Dotti swears by Granny Smith apples. I also love Granny Smith, but I usually mix a couple of different varieties since I often pick more than one. This time, I used Jonagolds, which tend to lose their firmness when baked, and Gala, which gets a bit softer, but has a great flavor. I'll also mix Granny Smith (firm and tart) with Honeycrisp or Cortland apples.

If you mix two (or more) types of apples, the key is to have at least one that stays firm enough to hold its shape. Apples like Macintosh and Red Delicious turn to an applesauce-like consistency as soon as they're heated, so I avoid those altogether.

Of course, fall baked goods are at their best when you can pick your own fruit, but if you don't live near an orchard, farmer's market, or grocery store, apples are still at their peak in September. Make this pie once, freshly picked fruit or not, and I guarantee it'll be in your fall rotation too!

When you think about refreshing your home for fall, you probably imagine making small decor swaps, like trading summer throw pillows for tonal and cozy alternatives, incorporating foliage through garlands and wreaths, or lighting candles with seasonal scents. Swapping a rug doesn't usually make it to the top of the fall refresh list.

But here's the thing – since a rug is one of the most dominant design features in a room, swapping it for a fall-inspired style can drastically impact the mood of the space, making it feel more layered, inviting, and inspired for the season.

Of course, fall rugs don't have to be adorned with pumpkin motifs or cornucopias to feel seasonally relevant. Think rugs in fall color schemes, rugs designed with elevated, autumn-inspired patterns, and rugs made from soft materials instead. From the inviting rugs from Joon Loloi's heritage-inspired collaboration with Heidi Callier to the family-friendly, fall-focused rugs from Ruggable's latest drop, these fresh designs are perfect for layering your home for fall, making it feel even more cozy, inviting, and in sync with the seasons.

Though slightly unexpected, this fall refresh idea is bound to make the biggest difference in your home.

You know ‘unexpected red,’ the theory that a singular jolt of the hue can wake up any room, but have you heard of ‘unexpected chrome’? Target’s latest portable lamp has all the old-timey library trappings, down to the fluted dome shade, in a surprising silvery finish. It’s given me fodder for a new theory, and possibly the coolest thing you could put on a coffee table this fall.

It's an odd pairing on paper. The Double Metal Portable Lamp taps two of 2026’s biggest lighting trends at once: anything old (vintage, thrifted, scoured, sourced) and chrome, more often the domain of ultra-minimal, super-sleek, vaguely Scandi design. We almost never see the two together. Hence: unexpected chrome.

A flash of silver on dark wood does something surprisingly striking as the days slowly darken. Brushed nickel catches and throws light like a mirror, a tactic I’ve tried and loved myself (there’s a chrome tray sitting on my entry table as I write). I find the effect more ethereal and nuanced than the, at this point, clichéd-to-death pop of red.

This unusual lighting is even better if you’re a vintage person. Amid all the gold and brass you’ve spent years collecting: bam – silver. It’s enough of a foil to feel fresh without looking like it wandered in from someone else’s house. Mixing metals, by the way, is not the faux pas you think it is. Designers I’ve interviewed assure me the tension only makes a room look richer. 'Brass overload,' on the other hand? Quite tired.

This is chrome for people who aren’t really chrome people. It has the old-world silhouette for anyone finding brass a little too trad, without going full space-age chrome for those of us not quite ready to identify with the hardcore Brutalist wave.

Cord-free and $25, it’s a theory I’m testing on my small New York City coffee table first. Side tables, kitchen counters, bookshelves – you’re next.

More 'Unexpected Chrome' Lighting

There’s more than one way to surprise with silver. Shop the chrome lighting I’m eyeing to offset all that brass.

You can never have enough portable lamps, much like you can never collect enough MacKenzie-Childs. The heritage brand’s cordless Courtly Check lighting is more than half off right now, and would look especially sweet beside a kettle on these early evenings.

If you’re also under the spell of Amazon Prime’s summery new melodrama Sterling Point, you’ve probably spent the last several weeks researching summer homes in Canada’s lakeside ‘cottage country’ Muskoka, wondering if you, too, should learn to canoe across those idyllic waters and, more likely than not, how to keep the lakeside aesthetic lingering at home for fall.

‘The lakeside aesthetic doesn’t require much to transition into fall, as it already incorporates mixed materials like stone, rough-sawn wood, and layered textures,’ says Atlanta-based interior designer Liz Williams. Like her recent Lake Martin project, it toes two worlds: the swanky details of the upper crust there just for the summer, and the cozily layered lives of locals who call it home year-round. ‘A base of warm neutrals always elevates soft blues and pale greens, adding richness to homes designed in this style, keeping them both casual and luxurious.'

If the lakeside aesthetic were a brand, it would be heritage homeware label GreenRow. Its newly redesigned lakefront cottage at Serenbe is essentially the look in a nutshell, reflecting the rugged landscape with handwoven rattan, antique floral wallpaper clashing charmingly against yellow plaid drapes, and patterned sink skirts hiding old bathroom pipes. And if it were a designer? Heidi Caillier. To the untrained eye, this trend is quaint. But like the vintage Huber Scoop chair Annie scored from the thrift, it’s actually quite expensive.

While most of us were first exposed to this golden slice of Ontario in a summer setting, nearly every hue on screen is even more apropos of autumn decor. ‘Since the colors of the lakeside aesthetic are typically greens, blues, and browns – colors we see outside – it is easy to transition into fall by adding hints of complementary warm tones, like rust and ochre,’ says Liz. ‘The simple, clean lines of this style can transition easily into fall with the addition of soft, colored, textured throws and rustic elements,’ she adds.

The trick, then, is not to autumn-ify it to death. Keep mirroring the landscape’s richness with crinkled cotton throws at the foot of the bed, heirloom wood (à la Pierce & Ward’s West Elm collab), and the ultimate analog accessory: a handmade broom hanging from a designated hook. Because, unlike the wannabes, you actually live here.

Not all of us are fortunate enough to inherit a charming waterfront cottage (or the lush, piney island it sits on, for that matter), so these 20 lakeside-inspired finds will have to do.

There is something instinctive about wanting to layer up our homes as fall arrives. Just as sweaters and blankets emerge from storage, rooms seem to call for a little more warmth and weight as the days shorten. But adding another throw pillow or blanket isn’t the only way to create it.

In fact, the most beautifully layered rooms rarely look as though they have been decorated specifically for fall at all. Instead, designers make small but considered shifts to texture, color, lighting, and even the arrangement of furniture, building up a sense of warmth without completely changing the character of a space.

From pulling chairs a little closer together to introducing pools of lamplight and bringing fall's color trends into an existing palette, these are the subtle layering techniques designers use to make rooms feel richer, warmer and more inviting for fall.

1. Layer Texture, Not Just Textiles

Textiles are the natural starting point for fall layering, but simply adding more of the same soft texture can leave a room feeling one-dimensional. Instead, think about creating contrast between materials: nubby wool against smooth linen, a vintage quilt over crisp cotton bedding, aged timber beside upholstery, or leather and brass among softer fabrics.

'A great way to get your home ready for those cooler autumn months is to layer up the textiles,’ says Ailsa MacConnell, founder of Studio Mac. ‘Whether that be a fun curtain behind the bed or multiple bed throws layered on top of each other. Also mixing in darker wooden tones in the way of artwork or antique pieces of furniture adds that much-needed warmth that those winter months call for.’

The key is that layering doesn’t have to mean softness everywhere. ‘I think layering doesn’t always have to mean textiles,’ says Toronto-based designer Ashley Ylanko, who recommends bringing warm woods, aged brass, leather, ceramics and antiques into the mix, which add depth in a subtler way than simply piling on more fabric.

2. Give Your Palette More Weight

You don’t need to repaint a room every September to make its palette feel right for the season. Often, introducing just one or two deeper fall colors is enough to shift the balance.

‘To make a room feel richer for fall without completely repainting or redecorating, I love incorporating deeper tones like plum, rust, and olive, along with tactile materials such as velvet, wool, and aged leather,’ says New York-based interior designer Jennifer Hunter. ‘A velvet pillow or cashmere throw can instantly add a cozy, layered feeling without making a major commitment.’

Rather than introducing several stereotypically autumnal shades at once, choose a color that makes sense alongside your existing palette. A pale neutral living room might take a deep olive pillow or tobacco-colored leather particularly well, while blues can be made richer with plum, burgundy, or chocolate brown.

And don’t restrict color to fabric. Jennifer also recommends a darker landscape or still life, or a few deeper-toned ceramics, to ground a room without overwhelming what’s already there. These smaller accents are particularly useful if you favor a lighter palette year-round: they add visual weight, but can easily move around the house as the seasons change.

3. Make Your Furniture Layouts More Intimate

Layering isn’t only about what you add to a room. Sometimes, it’s about changing the relationship between the things already there. ‘As the weather cools, I like to bring seating slightly closer together and create more intimate groupings that encourage conversation,’ says Jenny Dames, Lead Designer at TOM Design Collective. ‘I’ll also introduce more visual weight through layered furniture pieces and lighting at different heights. As we enter the fall season, I want the room to embrace you.’

It’s a subtle shift, but particularly effective in living rooms that are arranged to feel airy during summer. Ashley Ylanko suggests bringing lounge chairs and sofas inward to form a conversation nook, then introducing smaller pieces such as stools, drink tables, benches, and antique tables to fill some of the negative space.

That doesn’t mean filling every empty corner. The aim is to make the furniture feel more connected. Try moving an occasional chair a few inches closer to the sofa, placing a small table within arm’s reach, or pulling a stool toward the fireplace.

Haley Dermenjian, Associate Designer at TOM Design Collective, suggests giving the arrangement something to gather around, whether that’s a fireplace, a beautiful living room lamp, or a favorite piece of art. ‘Let the furniture acknowledge it,’ she says. ‘A room can feel more inviting simply by allowing people to gather around something, while also adjusting the negative space.’ The result is a room that shifts from open and expansive to somewhere you naturally want to settle.

4. Build Up Layers of Light

As natural daylight becomes scarcer, it’s tempting to compensate by simply making a room brighter. But the coziest rooms tend to do the opposite: rather than flooding every corner with uniform light, they create smaller pockets of illumination at different heights.

Think beyond the standard combination of ceiling fixture and table lamp. A statement floor lamp beside an armchair, wall sconces washing light across a wall, a small lamp on a bookshelf or console, and candlelight at coffee-table height all create separate layers that give the room depth after dark. ‘I don’t think a home should ever feel like it only works for one season,’ notes Kate Stuart, partner at TOM Design Collective. ‘The bones stay the same, and you make small shifts as the year changes. In fall, I love bringing in branches, berries and turning leaves, then relying more on lamps and candlelight as the days get shorter.’

Ashley Ylanko similarly recommends adding floor and table lamps, or even battery-powered sconces, to create smaller pools of light throughout a room as the hours of daylight shorten. It’s worth paying attention to where you actually spend time in the evening, too. Rather than lighting empty areas indiscriminately, concentrate lamps around the places where you read, talk, or sit. Allowing a little shadow between these pools of light makes each one feel warmer and more intimate.

5. Make Your Windows Work Harder

Windows provide another opportunity for layering, particularly when the quality of natural light begins to change. But that doesn’t necessarily mean swapping lightweight summer curtains for heavy drapes every fall.

‘Window treatments have a huge influence on how a room feels, particularly as the light changes through autumn,’ says interior designer Rebecca Hughes. ‘We tend to create bespoke window treatments that work beautifully year-round, rather than changing them with every season. The key is choosing the right combination of fabrics, textures, and linings from the outset, so the windows can adapt naturally to the changing light and atmosphere throughout the year.’

Layering a shade or blind with full-length curtains can give a window visual depth year-round, while how you use those layers can change with the season. During fall, Rebecca recommends opening curtains fully during the day to make the most of the warmth and golden quality of natural sunlight, before closing them as dusk falls. This helps retain warmth while creating a barrier between the room and the colder glass.

6. Bring Your Collected Pieces Forward

Fall layering can happen on a much smaller scale, too. Books, ceramics, candlesticks and favorite objects all help a room feel more collected, particularly when they are arranged in small groupings rather than scattered individually around a space.

‘For me, fall layering is often about the quieter details,’ says Laura Fremont, lead designer at TOM Design Collective. ‘A stack of books, brass candleholders and a few accessories can completely change the mood of a room. They add warmth, depth and that slightly collected feeling that makes a space feel more intimate as the days get shorter.’

The best place to begin, then, might be your own shelves and cupboards. Move a favorite stack of books onto the coffee table, bring a ceramic bowl into the living room, or group brass candlesticks together rather than buying accessories purely because they have been labeled as fall decor.

When building these small compositions, vary the height, shape, and material of each piece. A low ceramic bowl beside tall candlesticks and a stack of books creates more depth than three similarly proportioned objects, while mixing wood, pottery, metal and paper prevents a vignette from feeling overly styled.

7. Let Nature Do the Decorating

If you do want to introduce an unmistakably seasonal layer, look outside rather than to the fall decor aisle. Branches are particularly effective because their height and irregular form introduce something that conventional accessories can’t. Haley Dermenjian recommends organic stems, dried flowers and grasses, berries or bare twigs, noting that taller, more sculptural foraged elements can make a room feel grounded and connected to the season.

And in the kitchen, you barely need to decorate at all. ‘I’d rather let the harvest do the work,’ says Tommy Smythe, founding partner of TOM Design Collective, who suggests leaving vegetables from the market in a basket, herbs on the sill and fruit piled into a bowl. ‘There’s something about that abundance of color and ingredients that makes you want to gather, cook and enjoy the season’s bounty. Add warm wood, pottery, and deeper greens, and suddenly the kitchen feels completely right for fall, without anyone having to announce it.’

It’s perhaps the easiest fall layer of all because it is temporary by nature. A branch loses its leaves, the fruit gets eaten, the flowers fade, and the room moves on with the season.

Ultimately, successful layering isn't about how many things you can fit into a room. It’s about creating relationships between them: a dark wood table against soft upholstery, lamplight falling over a favorite chair, a deeper color anchoring a pale scheme, or furniture drawn slightly closer around the fireplace. Small changes can be enough. Rather than redecorating your home for fall, think about where it could use a little more weight, warmth, or intimacy, and add just the layer that’s missing.

An autumnal bedroom should be one thing above all: deeply comforting. While low lighting, soft layers, and tactile fabrics can instantly make a sleep space feel cozier for fall, rich, grounding colors are what truly transform a room into a warm, cocooning retreat.

And a cozy bedroom doesn't have to follow a predictable fall color scheme. You can create an inviting, enveloping space without a hint of pumpkin orange or traditional burgundy. In 2026, designers are embracing some of the season's familiar moody hues, but they're also introducing unexpected shades that feel fresh, sophisticated, and just as suited to the season – offering a refreshing take on fall color trends.

Fall Bedroom Color Schemes

From all-gray, cabin-inspired retreats to bedrooms wrapped in warm neutrals, these are the three color palettes designers are choosing this year – and the combinations that could make your bedroom feel instantly more inviting.

1. Gray Green

Gray-green might not typically be included amongst fall trends, but they work just as well as the usual color culprits. Moody, heritage-inspired gray paint is perfect for creating an enveloping feel. Think Jojo's Green by Coat Paints or Millstone Gray by Benjamin Moore.

'This is the guest bedroom (pictured above), up in the attic of a house in Portland', explains Interior Designer Jessica Helgerson. 'The clients are British, and it feels at the same time very right for them, but also right for the Pacific Northwest. It looks out onto tall cedar trees, and we wanted to echo the gray-green of the trees while also creating a welcoming, cozy cocoon of a room. It’s really more of a green than a gray, and it feels calming, cozy, and welcoming.'

To keep the scheme balanced, Jessica scattered earthy tones. 'The decor (pillows, bedding, rug, curtains, wallpaper) all have warm golden and blush tones that help to balance the cool background color of the room,' she says.

2. Warm Neutrals

Decorating with neutrals doesn't need to be reserved for summer. Interior Designer Niamh O'Sullivan, Founder of Studio Kiri, proves this with a recent bedroom project. 'As a north-facing space, it was important that the palette worked with the natural light rather than making the room feel darker,' she says. 'The brief was to create something light, refined and luxurious, so I drew on earthy tones but pitched them at the softer end of the spectrum. Pale olive, warm brown and muted orange sit alongside a predominantly cream, beige and white base, creating a space that feels calm and light while still having warmth and character.'

'A fall palette doesn’t have to be dark or moody. It’s really about the undertones and the colors you layer alongside your neutrals,' Niamh says. 'Olive, ochre, rust and warm brown can all bring that autumnal quality to a room, while a lighter neutral base keeps it feeling soft and airy. You can scale the richness and depth of those colors up or down depending on the overall atmosphere you want to create.'

'The neutral paint (Dimity by Farrow & Ball) became an anchor for the rest of the design. We layered different textures and carefully placed color against the pale backdrop, keeping the palette restrained. When you're working with fewer colors and patterns, every element has to work that little bit harder, so each choice was very considered.'

3. Ochre Orange

A cozy bedroom wouldn't be complete without a little orange. This luxurious sleep space comes to life with the ochre-infused orange linen wallpaper. Its designers, Ika Ramel and Sanna Nathanson, Founders of Studio Ramson, explain the power of deep orange.

'The façades visible through the windows became a natural starting point for the palette. We wanted the interior to have a dialogue with its surroundings, almost bringing the colors of the exterior into the room. We loved the idea of letting that warm, burnt orange tone take over the space. It’s quite a bold choice, but at the same time it creates a very calm and harmonious feeling.'

'The walls are actually not painted, but covered in Dedar’s Natural Chintz linen wallpaper,' Ika and Sanna explain. 'We chose it not only for its color, but also for the beautiful depth and texture of the linen. It gives the walls a softer, more nuanced quality and changes subtly with the light throughout the day.' While the fabric wallpaper brings a beautiful snugness to the bedroom, paints like the Long Room by Paint & Paper Library or Benjamin Moore's Masada.

'Warmth was one of the key words for the entire apartment and an important part of the client’s brief,' add Ika and Sanna. 'The burnt orange became an anchor for that feeling. We used it as a starting point for building a palette, introducing different tones, textures and materials that complement one another.'

These bedrooms prove that the best fall color combinations are balanced. Whether you're committing to a gray-green paint that drenches every wall or keeping it classic with a neutral base, going beyond the tried-and-tested autumnal palettes will make your sleep space feel comforting and endlessly inspiring.

Call it hygge, hibernation, or simply getting horizontal, but if there’s ever a time to create a seriously chic hideaway, it’s now. Shorter days mean more time in the bedroom – not necessarily sleeping, but unwinding after a summer well spent.

For me, that means as many textured Joon Loloi throw pillows as humanly possible, plush Lola Blankets faux-fur covers – foreshadowing future après adventures – draped at the foot of the bed, and, behind it all, an Anthropologie paneled tapestry headboard.

On either nightstand: two forms of ambient light. The analog kind is a 'heady and holy' perfumed candle from Soho Home, inspired by cathedral altars, housed in a gold-stamped vessel destined for a second life holding trinkets. The modern option, a portable lamp from Soho Home, glows softly through a tassel-trimmed linen shade.

The snug room ideas continue up the walls, where favorite memories from the past few sun-soaked months get an instant dose of old-world glamour, gathered into a triptych of gilded Renaissance-style frames from Frameology. Underfoot, a West Elm moss-green vine rug brings a touch of the outdoors inside for this decidedly indoor season.

It’s officially time to retire those breezy linen sheets. Ahead, every rich little detail I rely on as a style editor to transform my bedroom into an enveloping fall retreat I’ll never want to leave.

Halloween is one of those holidays that’s inherently nostalgic – it reminds me of being young, dressing up with my siblings, and trotting around the neighborhood collecting candy from the spookiest houses. And for 2026, I want to channel that same energy – which is exactly why I’ll be staging my house with vintage-inspired Halloween decorations.

Bring on the kitschiness and the playful charm; I want to feel like I’m back in the '90s with my Halloween decor this year. Luckily, it seems to be a big theme with some of my favorite brands too, who are bringing out far chicer renditions of what used to reside in my childhood loft.

Hanging ghosts are a must, like this set of three from Pottery Barn. They remind me of the handmade apparitions my neighbors used to suspend from the trees in their front lawn. Terrain’s frightfully festive critters will bedeck my seasonal mantel – reminiscent of the felt forms my mother still stages around our home at the start of spooky season. The most important Halloween decoration of them all – the candy basket, that is – will be this animated witch hand bowl from Amazon. Even though I was terrified of these as a kid, I can't help but feel nostalgic when looking at one now.

This Halloween, don’t let an aesthetic or fleeting trends get in the way of the nostalgic charm of the holiday itself. Instead, lean into your memories by decorating with vintage-inspired Halloween finds.

In just a few short years, a century of ‘that looks like your grandmother’s’ has gone from searing, red-cheek-inducing diss to badge of honor across fashion and home. Vintage bedding has never been cooler and, thanks to Anthropologie’s fall 2026 collection, it’s never been cozier, either.

It helps that the bedding trend naturally lends itself to layers. Stark white sateen sheets? How abrasive, how boring. Age them down to ivory instead, add a border of ruffles to boot, and let them romanticize their way out from underneath your duvet just so. Besides, what could be more grandmotherly than embroidery? It might have taken Grannie years of frustrating finger pokes to master, but Anthropologie sacrificed the blood, sweat, and tears for us, whimsifying empty corners with flourishes of vines and florals.

Of course, the flowers don’t stop there. No grandmother’s linen closet is complete without many, many of them, and these botanicals take on the look of old studies, musing the sciency illustrations that probably dotted her bedroom walls. Tapestries (having a moment in their own right) follow suit. Not even the buzzy new Barbour collaboration escapes the grandmother test: its timeless tartan throw pillows and blankets feel like something she’d have bought back in the day, had she been given the chance.

They’re the last comforting fall layers your bed was missing. And Grandma, as it turns out, knew exactly what she was doing.

Also trending between the sheets? Ice blue, the bedding color trend plucked straight from the S/S 2026 runways and, judging by a recent parade of percale, cooling things down for fall, too.

Blue has made a strong comeback in interiors lately, and even going into fall, when the colors usually get warmer and cozier, it's still topping the trend lists. With neutral fatigue setting in, homes are beginning to once again embrace a palette of richer tones that add character to rooms, which blue does perfectly.

That said, the risk of decorating with blue is that it can feel a bit frosty and unwelcoming. Since it is a cool color, it needs to be balanced carefully with warmer tones, texture, and natural materials, and it's important to choose the right paint shade so it doesn't come across as stark.

And so, to help you pull off this endlessly stylish color trend in a way that's every bit warm and welcoming, designers share their favorite decorating ideas below – from bedrooms to kitchens.

1. Pair Blue With Wood Tones in a Kitchen

The idea of a blue kitchen can quickly conjure images of an overly cold space, but with the right material pairings, blue can be endlessly warming in the heart of the home. Here, the blue kitchen cabinets are softened and warmed alongside the rich wood tones on the island and ceiling beams.

'We wanted coziness and warmth without wrapping the space in wood,' explains interior designer Heather Peterson. 'This lovely shade of blue-gray brings approachable color to two walls of cabinetry and balances the wood floor, island, and beams, without overwhelming the space.'

To complete the look, brass hardware adds extra warmth. 'Something about the brass hardware brings out the warm side of this blue, and the black metal finishes provide just a touch of edge,' Heather adds. 'We generally like to double down on our choices to make them feel super intentional: here, a navy vintage runner at the sink does the job.'

2. Use Neutrals to Soften a Blue Bedroom

Blue bedrooms are known for being a restful choice, but the wrong pairings can make it feel drab rather than cozy. Take inspiration from this bedroom and pair blue walls with soft, earthy neutral tones across the rest of the decor.

'We essentially wrapped the room in this color, painting the walls and trim the same color so that there was no jarring contrast in the space, with the exception of the white ceiling,' explains Debbie Mathews LeRoy, founder of Debbie Mathews Antiques & Designs.

'The main fabric used on the bed has a similar soft blue floral pattern, promoting further continuity and cohesiveness,' she says. 'The drapery fabric is a soft cream color with accents of blue and brown. All of the colors we used are soft and muted, as opposed to being clear and stark.'

3. Paint the Ceiling Blue

Decorating with blue paint doesn't have to be predictable. Instead of painting all four walls blue, why not bring this fun hue to the ceiling? In this transitional living room, it brings an immediate sense of coziness without overwhelming the room.

The designer Katie Bromley of Spaces by Katie explains that the key to success in this room was repeating the blue from the ceiling throughout the space. 'We incorporated blue at every scale, starting at the top,' she says. 'Benjamin Moore's Templeton Gray on the coffered ceiling, then, as the eye moves around the room, blue repeats in smaller, varied doses: the blue-striped cornice fabric, the sofa fabric, skirt and pillow trim, the plaid side chair, the patterned rug, even the tones in the artwork – so the color feels woven through the room rather than concentrated in one or two spots.'

Smaller details helped the various shades of blue feel warm rather than cold. 'The blues are all set against a warm, neutral backdrop, Benjamin Moore's Edgecomb Gray, and paired with wood and rattan tones in the furniture, and touches of coral in the pillows, rug, and chair fabric to keep the palette from skewing cool,' she explains. 'Texture did a lot of the work, too – nubby linen, plush velvet, woven rattan, coco beaded chandeliers, and a wool rug all add layers and warmth to the space.'

Another clever design choice that brings warmth to this space is the lack of hard surfaces. Katie adds: 'There are very few hard surfaces in this room. Nearly everything is upholstered, which reduces echo and ensures that nearly all touches are soft ones.'

4. Color-Drench With Blue Paint

Don't be afraid to go for the most immersive paint technique: color drenching. In rooms such as bedrooms or snugs, where you want to create a cozy, cocooning feel, color drenching is the way to go.

'I chose to color-drench the bedroom because I wanted the blue to feel like the atmosphere of the room, not simply a color applied to the walls,' explains designer Anu Jain of Atelier Oleana. 'Carrying it throughout creates continuity and allows the architecture to recede, which makes the space feel calmer and more cocooning. Because Lulworth Blue is luminous rather than dark, it envelops the room without making it feel heavy.'

When using paint all-over like this, choosing the right shade is key. 'Lulworth Blue feels warm and welcoming because it has clarity and depth rather than an icy or gray cast,' says Anu. 'In daylight, it feels fresh and uplifting; as the light softens, it becomes gentler and more enveloping. Of course, no color exists in isolation. The smoked-taupe linen, warm wood tones, and velvet in the room temper the coolness of the blue and give it an earthy counterpoint.'

Paint sampling is essential when color drenching, warns Anu. 'I always test the color on both vertical and horizontal surfaces and look at it throughout the day,' she says. 'Blue changes tremendously with the light, and the ceiling may need a different strength than the walls even when the goal is a fully color-drenched room.'

5. Add a Pop of Blue to a Rustic Bathroom

Blue is often used in bathrooms, but to stop it from looking stark alongside all of the white fittings and hard surfaces, rich wood tones can do the trick. 'Blue is my most reached-for color in bathrooms and bedrooms precisely because, when handled right, it reads as deeply cozy rather than cool,' says designer Cathleen Gruver of Gruver Cooley.

'In this project, I used a handmade glazed subway tile in a soft, dusty blue-green throughout the bath,' Cathleen explains. 'The slight variation in the glaze keeps it from feeling flat or harsh, and the natural pine ceiling and exposed beams pull all the warmth up into the room. The goal was for blue to feel like something that had always been there, not a statement. Pairing a muted, slightly gray-toned blue with warm natural materials is the move that makes it feel welcoming rather than cold.'

Decor Buys Cozy Up Your Blue Rooms

Whether you're painting your walls blue or want to warm up a blue sofa, these decor buys will help soften this cool color.

Cool colors like blue don't need to feel cold or unwelcoming; with a thoughtful approach to decor, they can be full of warmth and coziness. Whichever room you're decorating with blue in, warm wood and natural textures create balance, while warmer colors such as pink always work well.

In the grand scheme of fall decor, one element signals the season with more ease than anything else: throw pillows. Swapping standard throw pillows for fall-inspired styles is one of the quickest, simplest, and most affordable ways to make a room – any room – feel fresh, inviting, and endlessly cozy for autumn.

The best fall throw pillows hint at autumn with their cozy textures, seasonally inspired prints, and tonal color schemes. Styled on a couch, a chair, or a bed, they'll evoke the warm, welcoming mood of the season and make every room feel so on-theme for fall.

Fall throw pillows in traditional fall colors will always be a classic choice – that is, the browns, greens, maroons, and amber shades that we most often associate with the season. However, recent fall color trends are diversifying the fall palette to include pinks, mauves, and chic shades of purple – and brands like Anthropologie, GreenRow, and Joon Loloi have just the pillow picks to tap into this trend. Ahead, find our favorite styles to elegantly and effortlessly refresh your home for fall.

As much as I love summer, I’m not usually one to dwell on the passing of the seasons, and I look forward to fall each year. But at the same time, there are always pieces of the season I miss – and toward the top of the list is all of the greenery and gardens in full bloom. So every August, before I start the fall gardening jobs, like deadheading perennials and thinking about bulbs, I like to preserve some of my favorite flowers, leaves, and herbs from around the gardens.

Preserving Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are my favorite flower to preserve. In my opinion, they look just as beautiful dried in a vase as they do when they’re freshly cut. I dry a few different varieties from my garden every year, and they last well into the following spring. They’d probably last even longer, but by that point, I’m ready for fresh flowers again.

Preserving hydrangeas is straightforward if you cut the right varieties at the right time. I stick with panicle and smooth for two reasons. First, these types bloom on new wood, meaning new growth, so cutting them now won’t put next year’s flowers at risk. You can be generous with the snips. I avoid cutting classic Bigleaf hydrangeas because they bloom on old wood and are much easier to over-prune. And second, I also find that panicle and smooth hydrangeas seem to have hardier petals and keep their shape better than Bigleaf varieties.

In terms of when to cut them, mine are usually ready from mid-August through early September. I cut them when the leaves start to turn papery but aren’t browned or completely dry yet. I use sharp shears and make a diagonal cut.

Once they’re off the bush, I remove all of the leaves and place them in a vase with about two inches of water. (There’s no need to add anything to it or refill the water once it evaporates.) If they’re already pretty dry when I cut them, sometimes I’ll even skip the water. That’s it. They’ll dry the rest of the way on their own.

There are other methods, like hanging them upside down, but I find that letting them sit in a vase works perfectly.

Pressing Flowers in a Book

The other way I preserve the garden is through pressed flowers, leaves, and herbs. This varies a little from year to year depending on what’s growing, but the general rule is to look for things with thin, papery petals and avoid anything fleshy or high in moisture – those don’t press well and tend to turn brown. Ferns are a personal favorite, along with herbs like rosemary and oregano. For flowers, cosmos, individual hydrangea florets, sweet peas, and pansies all press beautifully.

This year, I went with a mix of ferns, herbs, hydrangeas, pansies, and blue lobelia. For the process itself, I keep it simple, no dedicated flower press required. I find that sandwiching flowers between the pages of an old book works just as well. I lay the flowers flat between two sheets of blotting paper to protect the book pages (but you can even skip the blotting paper if you don't mind a few flower stains on your book pages), then close the book and stack a few heavy ones on top. After a week or two, they'reflat, dry and ready to use.

I like to frame my pressed flowers, but you can also turn them into bookmarks, add them to gift wrap or decoupage them onto jars.

Preserving some of the flowers from my garden is a small time investment that pays off for months to come. A vase of dried hydrangeas and a pressed fern in a frame add much-needed life to a room in the middle of a New England winter.

After a summer full of weekend trips and constant travel, I’m finally back at home for fall – ready to refresh each room for cozy season. After dusting off my fall decor and layering my living space with knit throws and plaid pillows, I'm turning my attention to the bedroom – and IKEA is the first place I look.

The $45 EKTANDVINGE Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set will set the scene with its charming gingham print, grounding my room with a cozy, cabin-core feel – perfect for fall. I'll add softness and texture by layering throw pillow covers on top, like the corduroy ÅSVEIG Cushion Cover and the tufted SVARTPOPPEL Cushion Cover (each costing less than $15). Complementary decor details in fall color schemes like the PÄRLHÄGG Vase will enhance the room's aesthetic appeal, while ambient lighting like the $30 SOLKLINT Table Lamp creates the endlessly cozy mood.

For my fall bedroom refresh, I'm not focused solely on decorative details. In fact, I'm just as concerned about bedroom organization as I am coziness and comfort. Luckily, IKEA has no shortage of affordable and stylish storage ideas, including the versatile PAX BERGSBO Wardrobe, the sleek TONSTAD Cabinet, and the cute HEMMAFIXARE Case for underbed storage.

In just one shopping trip and one weekend of styling and switching, my cozy bedroom will be refreshed and neatly organized for fall – and I didn't have to spend a fortune to do so. You can do the same by shopping for everything you need for a fall bedroom refresh from IKEA below.
