7 Unexpected Ways to Use Fall Colors in Decor

When you think of the fall season, what colors come to mind? Probably red, rich brown, golden yellow, and pumpkin orange. However, fall color schemes in home decor aren’t limited to these shades. 

Picture an emerald green loveseat sofa paired with ivory armchairs, or dark chocolate wingback chairs complemented by a mango ottoman. Doesn't that sound interesting? These unique and delightful color combinations have the potential to change your perception of fall. 

Let's explore autumn color living room ideas to help you update your home interior for the season and delve into the realm of extraordinary design experiences!

1. Emerald Green & Ivory 

Rich, soothing, and fresh, emerald green fills the space with warm vibes. It creates a natural look that suggests the new season is coming. When used in lounge design, emerald green resembles autumn in a rainy tropical forest, so ivory will fit in perfectly there as well. 

Furniture combination: These evocative fall decor colors work best when used together on a 2-seater emerald green sofa and two ivory armchairs. This combination is great for a small room with no TV but enough space for sincere conversations. Mix the colors, making the green the main accent while also complementing it with ivory.

2. Blue & Light Grey

Let's picture the autumn sky: the navy blue blanket with grey clouds covering the sun, or the light blue curtain with sporadic sunrays breaking through. This is the view you get to see only in the fall.

When it comes to fall colors for home decor, grey acts as a neutral backdrop for distinct blue and adds visual depth to it. Together they make the room appear bigger.

For furniture, if you have a tunnel-shaped room, go with an ottoman instead of a wing chair, as the latter will steal the space and make moving around uncomfortable. A light grey ottoman is perfect for putting your feet up or placing a popcorn bowl on it.

If your L-shaped sofa can't accommodate all the guests during a get-together, the ottoman will come in handy. In case you have a few friends, you can put a cocktail tray on it, and the slipcover will protect your upholstery from spills like Tequila Sunrise.

3. White & Mango 

What about taking a day off and eating vanilla ice cream with mango topping while watching Netflix on the couch? This is the picture you want to take inspiration from when decorating with fall colors. The orange energizes and evokes sunny days feelings, while white balances the scene. So no matter how heavy it pours, the bright furniture will always keep your mood high.

Furniture combo. A white 3-seater sofa with a mango pillow set is a perfect match for your living room. Warm-toned white with burnt orange accents will create a unique fall look so different from the pumpkin's usual one.

Don’t worry about the fabric getting dirty, though, because slipcovers in these colors are machine-washable. Also, microfibra fabric has an appealing texture and is pleasant to touch: the perfect cuddling buddy for your Netflix plan.

4. Black & Dark Grey & Light Grey

The top fall colors for the living room include moody tones. If you have a dark-colored interior, a combination of black and grey resembling wet ground after rain will complement it. Black acts as the cozy backdrop for seasonal change. If you’re concerned that the dark palette may create tension in the room, adding light grey to the scheme will help play it safe. 

For the furniture combination, consider adding a black chaise lounge, two dark grey barrel chairs, and two light grey ottomans to give your living room a new look. When hosting events with many people, it's often a challenge to find enough seating for everyone. Instead of bringing in dining chairs and old tabourets, he is equipped with stylish furniture pieces and ottomans that can also serve as tables for appetizers and wine glasses.

5. Cherry & Light Grey

Who doesn’t dream of a cottage house? Try to mix cherry and light grey to recreate its coziness. Deep cherry warms up the cold grey and even makes the loft interior look softer. Few rich pink accents and all visual strictness goes away. 

Furniture combo.  A light grey 4-seater sofa with cherry pillows takes you to the cottage house and embraces your bold dream. You may live in a small apartment in a high-rise building but you can create a countryside vibe inside your dwelling anyways.

Made in Italy slipcovers may even whisper Italian words they heard from manufacturers in Bergamo. A vacation vibe in the middle of a rainy working week is guaranteed. 

6. Coral Pink & Burgundy

 Spice up your interior with a sophisticated combination of coral pink and burgundy. This year's fall color living room ideas lean towards raw accents such as dramatic burgundy on a relatively neutral pink background. This subtle yet bold color mix adds vintage flair to the home design. 

Furniture combo. To make a seasonal makeover quicker yet keep it in style, go with burgundy seat cushion pillows on your coral pink armchairs. Place the two armchairs in your lounge and you're all set! Not only do slipcovers enhance the furniture lines, but they also look natural and just like the upholstery!

7. Dark Chocolate & Mango 

 The color of black coffee, fall foliage, and leather always feels warm and embracing. Balance its depth with contrasting burnt yellow to keep the home design fresh. When combined, they resemble the sweet taste of mango pieces covered in dark chocolate.

Furniture combo. Two dark chocolate wingback chairs will ensure the most comfortable seating while the mango ottoman will let your legs rest after the long working day. Take your favorite pet with you and lose yourself in the softness of the slipcover fabric.
