Of the four seasons, none is associated more with changing colours than autumn. As the leaves shift from green to orange, red and yellow, we start to think about changing colours in our homes too. What are the 2017 fall colour trends for the home? Let’s have a look!

Teal.

Blue is timeless and always stylish. This season, teal is a cheerful take on blue – bringing a hint of the ocean to your space. It’s uplifting! Mix teal with other blues or indulge in layers of teal only. Teal pairs well with pure white and grey, giving neutral palettes a breath of fresh air. 

Emerald.

Green is super trendy for fall. Our favourite shade is emerald. Depending on where and how you use it, it’s surprisingly flexible – going from warm and cozy to ultra luxurious. Go all out with emerald upholstery (how about trendy velvet?), walls and rugs, but keep it from getting overwhelming with simple hardwood flooring and streamlined furnishings in light wood finishes.

Dark Brown and Black.

Don’t think sombre, think dramatic. Dark charcoal, chocolate brown and even black are showing up on walls this fall. It’s intense, exciting and very intimate. Keep the floors and furnishings lighter for balance. (HINT: Black and brown accessories let you sample this trend rather than diving in!)

Pinks and Mauves.

In a sea of rich shades, soft pinks and mauves are a subtle alternative. Whether on walls, furnishings or fabrics, pinks infuse a space with calmness, hope and yes, a touch of romance. This season’s muted pinks are less ‘bubble gum’ and more ‘blush’ – definitely sophisticated!

Dull Brass.

Sure, it’s a finish more than a colour. But it’s important to note that while you’re updating your home’s palette, it’s a great idea to add a few accessories in aged/dull brass. This season’s preferred metallic pairs well with almost any colour; its warm patina adds charm to any space. Aged brass partners perfectly with elegant emerald, saturated blues and rich browns.

Monochromatic Palettes.

Monochromatic colour schemes never go out of date. This season, grey is the go-to colour choice. Keep it trendy and interesting by adding patterns in accessories like rugs and drapes. Don’t forget – a splash of colour in wall art or an accent chair is wonderfully eclectic and fun!

Colour Blocking.

Use two or three colours together (bold shades are popular) and layer them or showcase them side by side. There are many colour blocked items available – boldly striped wallpaper and geometric patterns on cushions for example. Or do-it-yourself with a bold accent wall divided into three colours – maybe even triangles.
