Vogue’s Favorite Fall Home Decor Ideas

The Chocolate Brown Bedding

Jump to review

In the kitchen, stock your arsenal of entertaining essentials with patterned table linens and terracotta dinnerware in shades of burgundy, butter yellow, and ochre (if you’re looking for a hostess gift, these are safe bets). Soft goods like bedding or throw blankets are also low-lift switches that pack a punch: Fold your crisp white sheets away, and bring in plush velvet cushions or a rich brown duvet for a hit of instant warmth. If your take on seasonal updates involves something bolder, investing in one new furniture item—like a marbled console table, or golden-hued ottoman—will make a drab corner feel totally new.

Earth Tones

Time to tuck away your soft pastels and trade them in for moody natural tones. The quickest way to do this is via your textiles: Parachute’s chocolate brown bedding is a fast swap that’ll completely overhaul the look of your bedroom, while a mossy green plaid throw can give your white linen sofa an autumnal touch.

Rich Textures

Mohair, velvet, corduroy, marble… this is the time to go all-in on plush fabrics in equally sumptuous palettes. From a crimson-colored velvet bolster pillow embroidered with navy florals to amethyst velvet curtains, it’s easy to incorporate these soft touches in small ways—though if you want to take the plunge on a slate blue rug from Nordic Knots’s newest launch, it’s a great way to anchor the room with texture.

Entertaining Staples

Set the table for a season of at-home dinner parties and holiday fêtes with the requisite tableware. Start with a patterned base in earthy colors—like this burgundy checked tablecloth; or, for something lighter, butter yellow-and-brown striped napkins from Autumn Sonata’s recent collaboration with Gem Home—and mix in some fun new pieces. (This Italian-made terracotta pitcher is a great vessel for housing your farmers’ market bouquet as a centerpiece.)

Layered Delights

Just as you might layer knitwear or your favorite jackets come autumn, apply the same philosophy to your home. Playing with textures, materials, and layered pieces make everything more interesting—why not stack a cream-colored wool rug over your jute carpet, or warm up a wooden furniture piece with a bit of upholstery or oxidized steel? “Mixing it up creates depth and authenticity,” said designer Karen Spector when we asked her about the year’s biggest design trends. “Combining textures and tones makes spaces feel layered and lived-in, as though they’ve come together naturally over time, not just assembled to look perfect.”
