Shades of Brown and Beige

Brown is a classic color that can help ground any room and make it feel warm and inviting. Pair it with beige, cream, or off-white, and it’ll create the perfect backdrop for any decor style. You can add pops of color with pillows, throw blankets, or rugs, but keep the base colors subdued.

Rich Red and Gold

Red is a color that immediately draws attention and creates drama. Pair it with gold, and you have a regal color scheme that’s perfect for winter. Use red as your statement color for walls, accent chairs, or window treatments, and sprinkle gold accents throughout the room for an opulent look.

Deep Green and Navy

Green is a versatile color that works well with many other shades. Combine deep green with navy, and you have a color scheme that’s both grounding and refreshing. Use green for walls or upholstery and add navy accents with pillows, curtains, or lamps for a cohesive look.

Warm Terracotta and Mustard

Terracotta is a warm and earthy color that’s perfect for winter. Combine it with mustard for a bold and unexpected color pairing. Use terracotta for larger furniture pieces, and mustard for smaller decor items like vases, picture frames, or lampshades.

Orange is a vibrant color that’s perfect for adding warmth and energy to a room. Combine it with taupe for a soothing contrast that’s still cozy and inviting. Use orange for accent walls, and taupe for upholstery and curtains for a balanced look.

Additional Tips To Working With Soft Autumn Colors

One way to really bring soft autumn colors to life in your home is by adding texture to your space. This can be anything from fluffy blankets and rugs to naturally textured tablecloth and curtains. By adding texture and that contrast, you’ll have a cozy atmosphere that’s perfect for spending time at home during the cooler

Another way to work with a softer autumn color palette is by pairing them with neutrals. This can help to tone down the overall look of the space and make it feel more inviting.
