KED’s Picks: 5 Fall Lifestyle Trends and Inspiration for Your Home

Fresh ideas to get you in the fall mood

As summer draws to a close, our thoughts are turning to the months ahead and the design possibilities they bring. Today on the blog, we're sharing sources of inspiration that are shaping our vision for the upcoming season. Fall is a time of transformation, and this year, we're excited about trends that combine classic sophistication with a touch of the unexpected.

If you're ready to embrace the beauty of fall in your home, read on to discover the trends we're loving this season.

Runway to Room: Elevate Your Spaces With Quiet Luxury

We're always attuned to the world of fashion because what's trending on the runway often finds its way into interior design as well. This season, it’s all about Quiet Luxury and we couldn't be more thrilled. Think deep, rich hues with timeless appeal and materials that exude understated elegance. We're particularly inspired by designers like Ulla Johnson, Alejandra Alonso Rojas, and Eckhaus Latta, featuring sophisticated yet livable collections highlighting browns, reds, and yellows.

To translate this into interior design, we're embracing tailored furnishings. Think custom pieces that have been crafted just for you, like reupholstering a classic sofa or armchair with modern textiles that are thick, soft, and luxurious to the touch. It's all about creating spaces that feel both cozy and sophisticated, perfect for the fall season.

Fall Hues: Browns, Reds, and Yellows

This season, we're seeing a resurgence of chocolate browns and rich reds, colors that naturally evoke the warmth and comfort of fall. But we're also adding a burst of joy with yellow! Whether in textiles, millwork, or as an accent color, yellow brings a cheerful vibrancy that brightens any space.

Unexpected Color: Embrace Non-Traditional Fall Hues

While traditional fall hues are always a safe bet, we're all about pushing the boundaries. For those who love a bit of contrast, consider pairing bright, unexpected colors with the classic tones of the season. Think raspberry and chartreuse or pops of cerulean blue. We love this bold living room by Nicola Harding. The vibrant blue walls pair well with the olive sofas, two colors you wouldn’t think work, complement each other so well.

If you’d like to incorporate color more subtly, try weaving pops of color into your home through smaller accents. Like a colorful Kitchen-Aid Mixer, a bright blue vase, or even corner stained glass accents for upper passageways.

One of our go-to brands for endless color inspiration is Mind the Gap. We admire their ability to blend bold designs with a timeless, classic appeal. Whether you’re looking for a daring accent piece or a statement wall covering you’ll find something beautiful, luxurious, and timeless.

Cozy Up: Fall Staples for Comfort and Style

As the days grow shorter and the nights cooler, it's time to indulge in some cozy essentials. Whether picking up a new Kindle case from Page, paired with an inviting throw blanket for those long reading sessions, or adding a scarf to your wardrobe (or even your home décor), the key is to surround yourself with things that make you feel warm and comfortable.

Elevate Fall Classics: Add a Touch of Glam

Fall is also the perfect time to accessorize with statement jewelry. Non-traditional pieces with colorful jewels, especially in gold and chalcedony, are a go-to for us. For modern, handcrafted beautiful jewelry, we love J. Mills Studio and Dana Kellin.

Whether you like classic gold, silver, or prefer a splash of color, there's no better way to add a personal touch to your fall look.
