As the leaves turn russet and we pull our rollneck sweaters and leather boots from the back of our closets, our homes deserve a refresh too. (What better season for nesting?) Any designer will tell you the change doesn’t have to be drastic; something as simple as upgrading your bed linens or adding a new lamp can make all the difference.

Perhaps now is the time to invest in that piece of furniture you’ve had your eye on, or finally finish a room that doesn’t quite feel complete with the help of an accent rug. Whatever you’re after, we spoke to 10 interior designers to discover the key fall home decor trends worth buying into this season.
Jewel-toned Colors
You might assume that fall calls for a color palette of soft browns, reds, oranges, and yellows—but this year, it’s all about the richness of jewel tones and using certain shades with intensity. Take Sophie Rowell, founder of Côte de Folk, who, in one project, recently covered walls and floors in a deep olive green, adding a sense of tactility by skipping hard flooring and rugs in favor of wall-to-wall carpet.
Meanwhile, Adele Lonergan, co-founder of Covet Noir, is currently busy adding small doses of chocolate and berry into her clients’ homes—despite her usual pull toward neutrals. “These shades are particularly effective in tactile fabrics, such as velvet and mohair, where the depth and variation of color can really be appreciated,” she explains, “as well as in richly veined marble.” For the more color-shy, a few carefully chosen accents, like a cushion cover, can make even the most neutral interior feel a little more cocooning for fall.

Folk and Traditional Craft
Perhaps as a reaction to the rise of AI, spaces that feel homespun and unmistakably human are having a moment. “People want surfaces with a maker’s hand in them, as well as personal adaptations of products that are entirely their own,” agrees Lauren Geremia, founder of Geremia Design. “It’s the kind of detail that makes a small room feel like it belongs to someone.”
This artisan spirit is well embodied by the return of modern folk, a design philosophy rooted in craftsmanship. “It brings authenticity and narrative to a room—and there’s a real appreciation for it at the moment,” says Tom Cox, principal and chief creative at Hám. “Whether the piece is hand-painted, not overly refined, or simply shows the maker’s hand, it lends a lived-in quality.” He points to needlepoint cushions, printed artworks, stitched textiles, and furniture that still shows its brushstrokes as easy ways to embrace the look.
In fact, it might not be about buying anything new at all, but rather repairing pieces that have been worn or damaged by daily life, says interior designer Nicola Harding. That might mean using vintage fabric to patch holes in armchairs or rugs instead of replacing them entirely. “Being able to trace different personal stories gives a home more meaning,” she adds.

Carpet Layering
“We’re using a lot more antique Turkish carpets and exploring the idea of layering them over larger, quieter rugs,” says Emma Sims-Hilditch, founder and creative director of Sims Hilditch. “I’m particularly drawn to the softer, more faded examples: Oushak carpets, with their large-scale, open patterns and beautifully muted palettes of dusty rose, faded terracotta, soft apricot, tobacco, celadon, and cream, are a particular favorite.” Look for pieces that show signs of age and imperfection, whether that’s mellowed colors or slightly irregular patterns, and layer them over simpler, more understated designs. “It stops a room from feeling as though everything arrived on the same day,” she says.

1970s Spirit
From rattan to low-slung modular sofas, many iconic pieces of furniture came out of the 1970s, a decade full of hedonism and glamour. So what better way to add a little fun to your home than by taking inspiration from the era that gave us high-gloss lacquered finishes and animal prints galore, suggests Jacu Strauss, designer at Lore Group. It’s a look that embraces a little excess—and is all the better for it. Whether your take is as bold as an area rug or as subtle as a backgammon set for your coffee table, this is your cue to get a little playful this season.

Floral Motifs
These are not your ditsy springtime flowers. Crucially, says Lonergan, an autumnal floral print shouldn’t be too “fussy”; instead, choose blooms with a bit of edge. While pieces made from metal, including brass and iron, are an obvious choice, the motif can also appear in bright colors, swirling abstract glass, or more vampy furniture—see, House of Hackney’s black velvet chair. The idea is to steer clear of anything too twee or cutesy, and instead opt for florals with a little personality.

Art Deco is going strong everywhere from fashion to interiors, and fringes and tassels are a fabulous way to add detailed elegance to otherwise simple pieces. “Making theatrical adornments like these work in the home is all about being clever with the balance,” explains interior designer Pandora Taylor. “It’s a brush fringe here, a key tassel there.” She recommends pairing decorative flourishes with contemporary furniture, whether that’s a sleek ottoman or a geometric armchair.

If you’re ever stuck for simple ways to transition your home from season to season, designer Jake Arnold has some advice: “Think about how you might change a tabletop—it’s all about relatively small tweaks that make it feel weather-appropriate,” he explains. “For fall, I love changing out some of the lighter textiles for things that feel softer, heavier, and a little more enveloping.” The easiest way to do this? Get yourself a new throw blanket. Think beautiful cashmere and fuzzy mohair, or even a heavier wool. For Marta de la Rica, wool—with its beautiful texture, natural variations, and endless versatility—is a particular favorite right now. These pieces from The House of Lyria and Nickey Kehoe offer subtle pattern. Save to wishlist. Save to wishlist.
