With wonderfully changing leaves, fresh and brittle air in the morning, and great weather all around, it is hard not to love fall. It is the time to celebrate the changing of the seasons. Apart from being the season of smells and scents, fall is the season of colors too. It is the season of cozy, rich, and warm colors. Check out these ideas about what colors to use in your house to capture the transition outside:

Pumpkin-Inspired Color

Pumpkin is possibly the perfect and the most common symbol of fall. The bright orange color of pumpkin can easily make its way to your home interiors. You can use a pumpkin-inspired color to one wall of a room or to a piece of furniture. If you love to add more drama, paint an entire room with such a color. You can also make combinations like cream walls with orange ceiling or an orange library with black bookshelves. Using the orange color as a wash in any space will create a faded Tuscan feeling.

Capture the Autumn Vibe with Red

Apple and maple leaf are two common natural elements of fall season. Going apple picking is probably one of the best parts of this season. Bringing the red color of apple and maple leaf inside the home will nicely capture the transitional phase of autumn. Glam up your space by painting some accessories like table lamps, chandeliers, or armchairs in lipstick red with high-gloss finish. You can also add spice to a room by painting a single wall with this color.

Golden Glow

Use of shades of golden color will remind everyone of the golden leaves of this season. The golden color pairs well with bright blue and grey. However, you can also combine it with bold orange, bright red, and copper tone. For example, a room will look great with bold orange sofas, red shades of table lamps and wall sconces, and copper-toned draperies on the background of a soft golden wall color.

A Mix-up of Colors

A mishmash of the autumn-inspired colors will also help you creating an awe-inspiring look. Make a space elegant and visually appealing by making a combination of colorful fabrics, exotic patterns, and beautiful colors. You can use splash of vibrant colors on the background of a neutral palette like an orange-red headboard in brown bedding or orange accent colors in sofas and draperies against the backdrop of tan walls. Contrastingly, you can use light-colored furniture pieces and accessories on the background of a vibrant color palette.
