Coastal proximity gives us the rare ability to enjoy magnificent sunsets and stunning natural beauty. Capture the spirit of autumn with luxury stylish touches inspired by the exquisite views and lush landscapes that dot the Sarasota area. Let’s explore ideas dominating this décor this Fall and how you can bring it into your space.
COZY OUTDOOR LIVING
Create an inviting outdoor dining area elevated by the beauty of fall. A wooded table adorned with a simple centerpiece of Florida seasonal foliage creates a cozy feel in the gathering space. Add accessories to your outdoor kitchen like copper utensils, wood cutting boards, and a fire pit for ambiance. Incorporate outdoor rugs, lanterns, and extra cozy seating to add seasonal touches. Fill planters with garden mums, pansies, coleus, red fountain grass, and bulbine frutescens to add shades of Autumn color to any outdoor space. Light up the night with a rope weaving pendant that sets an elegant coastal tone. Outdoor pillows in rich Fall hues will make your patio the perfect spot to enjoy a warm drink on your lanai as the sun sets.
NATURE INSPIRED DECOR
Using organic material brings the natural elements indoors with inspired décor choices. Fall design elements encourage using wood, stone, and plants to create a grounded, yet luxurious environment. The rich warm tones of wood instantly introduce an earthy element. Burl wood, prized for its characteristic grain patterns, enjoys a strong resurgence this year. A single Burl wood piece, such as console or cabinet, becomes an instant focal point that enhances the organic aesthetic in any room.
EARTHY TONES
Color carries significant weight in an interior space. Burnt sienna, deep terracotta, and warm ochre characterize the rich earth color palette of Fall. These color trends remain firmly rooted in warm, earthy hues that evoke the richness of nature. A transition away from shades of gray now turns to browns enriched with shades of green, rich orange and golden yellow. These colors bring autumnal warmth to interiors balanced by fabrics and stained wood. Pair these earth tones in the kitchen to create charm and earthy warmth making it a timeless choice for home décor. The resurgence of stained wood cabinets brings a rich and organic warmth to a kitchen. Home trends now gravitate toward deeper, more natural colors and stains like walnut, chestnut, and espresso. Lighter stains are also on-trend, offering a fresh feel that complements modern kitchens. To capture the essences of the season, incorporate these colors into your space.
CENTER STAGE - TEXTURE
Textures take center stage with this year’s fall décor. Add rich layered textiles for a sensory appeal rather than one-dimensional linen fabric. By combining plush fabrics with raw unfinished woods, you can achieve a blend of modern sophistication and natural beauty. Layering different textures like chunky wool throws, velvet or cashmere pillows, baskets, and wood accents adds visual interest to any room. A patterned rug with fall hues instantly grounds a space and adds a warm luxurious feel.
SETTING THE MOOD
Bold black accents even play a role this Fall by adding contrast and drama while grounding a room. Tinted glassware in muted colors adds a bit of seasonal sophistication. Think smoky gray or amber tinted glassware that adds a soft elegant touch. For a polished, yet welcoming feel add warm metal accents in brass, copper, and gold tones. These metal accents will add richness and shine to any room. Further set the mood by layering your lighting to create pockets of warmth throughout your space. Enjoy the mood by adding a small reading nook with a comfy oversized chair with layered throw blankets where you can unwind with your favorite book.
