The fall season is defined by cooler temperatures, shorter days and rich colors. Autumn is also the perfect time to refresh your home with new style trends according to Sisler Johnston Interior Design.

During the harvest season, families spend more time indoors. President Judith Sisler Johnston says even subtle changes in home décor can add seasonal comfort and warmth.

Here are the top home design and décor trends for autumn:

• Color: The colors for the fall season are richer and deeper. Think of saturated earth tones including browns, teals, rusts and golds.
• Bold Patterns: Large graphic prints are back in style. Look for chevron or herringbone, Ikat patterns or organic striping.
• Gold and Brass: Accents in gold and brass are back in vogue. Look for lamps, vases and other home décor as well as brass faucets and hardware.
• Bedding: Multiple oversized pillows are out and neutral-colored linens are in. Pair a luxurious top blanket with a clean-lined duvet.
• Accents: Pillows, rugs and other accessories add seasonal color and style to any space. Changing pillows and rugs is an easy and budget-friendly way to seasonally transition and transform a room’s look.
• Space simplification: The best way to gain control of your surroundings and achieve a refreshed sense of purpose is to de-clutter. There are often too many items, including accessories, pillows, throw rugs and photos, in a room.

The fall season is a great time to clean out and rearrange your space. Organization looks good, works well and makes life easier. It will revitalize and refresh your space, making it appear larger and more welcoming.

If you are in need of inspiration, Sisler Johnston recommends consulting with a professional, licensed interior designer before beginning any interior design project, including do-it-yourself endeavors. It can be a valuable investment to have an expert review the plan and provide recommendations.
