Now that autumn is officially here, I’m sharing a look at the top fall home decor trends and design styles for 2024, along with affordable fall decor finds and decorating ideas for every room in the home.
While summer is my favorite season, over the years I’ve learned to embrace the arrival of autumn and fall decor, with its cozy layers, warm colors, and abundant textures.
Whether you love fall or are lamenting the end of summer, there are countless ways to add a touch of autumn coziness to your house without completely changing your design style or color scheme.
In fact, all of the fall decor trends I’m sharing with you in this post are easy and effortless to incorporate in your home. In fact, you probably already own many of the things you’ll see featured in these spaces.
And, if you’re in the mood to shop for new fall decor, this is also a great time to find on-trend items that will make it easy to transition your home to the new season.
When is the best time to start decorating for fall?
I like to start scouting out the fall decorating trends in late summer, but I usually don’t get too excited about fall decorating until the weather cools down a bit — or at least by the first day of fall.
Whenever you decide to start decorating, you’ll find that adding a touch of fall style to your home can be easy.
Simply layer in some warmer, richer colors and weave in a few fall accents in a variety of textures to quickly transition your home from summer to fall.
What are the fall home decor trends for 2024?
While summer home decor trends focused on a light organic feeling, this year’s fall home decor trends are all about interesting shapes, warm neutral tones, and luxurious textures.
As you scroll through the fall decorating trends below, rather than feeling like you have to embrace an entire trend, think about how you might incorporate certain elements you love — whether it’s a color, item, look, or feeling.

Most of all, don’t worry about achieving a certain design style in your home.
Since decorating trends are always evolving, we no longer need to adhere to a narrowly-focused aesthetic, such as mid-century modern, coastal, traditional, farmhouse, or French country style.
Rather, when decorating for fall — or any season — the goal should be to bring together a curated mix of pieces that reflects you, your lifestyle, and what you love.
1. Earth tones
Earth tones and warm neutrals are making a huge comeback in 2024, and that trend will continue to grow in popularity throughout this fall.
Warm tones of sand, mushroom, camel, terracotta, copper, oatmeal, muted greens, and similar neutrals complement just about every other color palette, making them the perfect addition to any space.

Whereas for the past few years we were seeing lots of gray and cool tones in fall home decor, this year is all about a warm aesthetic and soft, muted tones.
Earth tones work with every style of decor and are hugely popular this year, thanks in part to the modern organic and quiet luxury design trends.
If you’ve already embraced neutrals and warmer hues in your home, you might not need to make a lot of changes when decorating your home for fall!
You can learn more about incorporating neutrals and a warmer aesthetic in your home in my posts, What is Coastal Grandmother Style? (and why I’m loving this trend) and California Casual Style Decorating Ideas for Your Home.
Also, my post, Colors of the Year: Top Home Color Trends for 2024, shares more about this year’s color trends.
2. Warm wood finishes
The natural beauty of warm wood finishes create a welcoming and calming environment for fall.
And with the growing desire for lighter, airier spaces, warm wood tones add a grounding effect.
Warm woods are making a big comeback, particularly in kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, while the popularity of gray-toned woods is on the wane.
However, don’t despair if you have gray-toned wood flooring or other elements in your home. Large area rugs are a wonderful solution.
You can also incorporate warmer wood tones through coffee tables, side tables, chairs, and decorative elements.

3. Woven elements
Woven elements in all their forms add softness to any space and are having a moment in 2024.
Baskets are a great way to bring a warm autumn aesthetic to kitchen counters and shelves.

Woven pendant lights, natural fiber rugs, and cane and rattan furniture all

Woven counter stools, a wooden bowl, and stoneware bring a touch of coziness to this beautiful kitchen.

I share a collection of my favorite counter stools and barstools in this post: Beautiful Counter Stool and Barstool Ideas for Your Kitchen.
The Cabinet Gallery Utah – Cambridge Home Co. – counter stools
This beautiful space incorporates woven textures through the armchairs, coffee table, rug, and ottomans:

Woven pendant lights have been hugely popular for several years, and I don’t see this trend going anywhere soon. I share several of my favorite woven lighting options in this post: Modern Pendant Lighting Ideas You Will Love.

Even something as simple as adding a chunky jute rug can bring a touch of warmth and visual interest to your space.

4. Textured fabrics and textiles
Once again, velvet, boucle, linen, and nubby textured fabrics are big in this year’s fall interior design forecast, and I couldn’t be happier about this trend.
For an easy fall bedroom refresh, simply swap out your lighter-weight throws, bedding, rugs, and pillows for cozier versions.

Choosing natural fabrics with weight and texture, like chunky cotton and wool throws, nubby boucle, velvet, leather, and weightier linen pieces instantly make your home feel cozier.
And, if you prefer a lighter color palette, the addition of soft fabrics like velvet and wool will help bring the warm feelings of fall to your home.
Textured fabrics mix well with all other fabrics, bringing a grounding and timeless quality to a space that will continue to resonate with our lifestyles in fall 2024 and beyond.
Adding in a few textured cotton, linen, wool, or velvet pillow covers or throws is enough to give your living room or bedroom a touch of chic fall decor in an instant.
Sometimes, a few new pillows and a cozy throw blanket in a neutral fall shade are all you need to update your bedroom for the new season.
Here are a few beautiful fall pillows, throws, and textiles:
5. Tonal color palettes
Tonal color palettes lend a cohesive, modern look to any space — and they’re one of the biggest design trends for fall 2024.
If you want to experiment with this trend, try incorporating no more than three colors in a space, mixing and matching different textures, fabrics, woven elements, and natural materials within that tonal palette.
Willow and Co. – armchairs here and here (similar chair here) – similar sectionals here and here
Choose your primary color scheme by pulling one to three colors from your area rug or a large piece of artwork; then keep the rest of the colors in your space in the same color range.
Here, the shades in the pillows, basket, hat, sheepskin, and bench are drawn from the rug and large artwork, for a warm, eye-pleasing autumn aesthetic in the entryway.

This trend ties in beautifully with the current popularity of earth tones in interior design, as blending different shades of warm neutrals is an easy and stylish way to modernize your spaces.

To create a layered look and add dimension, layer in pillows, throws, and other accent pieces within your chosen color palette.
For a modern look, you might choose all three shades within the same color family for a monochromatic effect, or add in one to two complementary colors for a more traditional look.
If you’d like to add a bit of contrast to your spaces, think about adding a pop of black, via pendant lighting, a coffee table, lamp, side table, counter stools, or small decorative items.
Cutting boards, vases, and kitchen accents in black and neutral tones bring a modern fall look to the kitchen:

Earth tones paired with a touch of black create a striking tonal color palette for a chic, finished look.

6. Mixing vintage and modern
Another decorating trend you’ll see this fall is the incorporation of vintage pieces, like the beautiful antique dresser shown in the bedroom below, within an otherwise modern space.
The unique blending of different design elements makes a space feel collected and unique.
Vintage rugs are a great way to bring a warm aesthetic and visual interest to a space.
This beautiful master bedroom is a great example of mixing modern and vintage design styles. Its rich textures and tones give it a modern western look. See my post, Coastal Cowgirl Style: How to Bring the Trend to Your Home, for more modern western bedroom ideas.
If you’d like to add a few vintage pieces to your home, Etsy is a great source for one-of-a-kind vintage and antique textiles, art, rugs, furniture, and decorative accents. McGee and Co. also carries a beautiful selection of vintage pieces.
See my post, Where to Find Affordable Turkish Rugs and Runners for Your Kitchen and Home, for more rug ideas.
7. Quiet luxury
The quiet luxury home and lifestyle trend emerged earlier this year and will continue to grow in popularity through fall 2024.
Quiet luxury interiors are all about bringing a relaxed, elevated approach to home decor and living.
Quiet luxury inspired interiors might include linen or velvet covered furniture, neutral tones, and pared-back elements — all of which speak to a more relaxed, intentional way of living and decorating.
The quiet luxury aesthetic focuses on quality, refinement, and understated sophistication, and you can get an idea of what this trend looks like in my posts on Quiet Luxury Style, Restoration Hardware Style, Nancy Meyers Inspired Interiors, Coastal Grandmother Style, Transitional Style Decorating Ideas, and California Casual Style Interiors.

8. Curves
My fall 2024 design trend post wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the ongoing popularity of curvy furniture, decor, and architectural elements.
This fall, we’ll continue to see plenty of curved chairs and sofas, rounded edges on coffee tables, curved accent pieces and mirrors, as well as interesting architectural features like arched doorways, curved cabinet fronts, and curved kitchen island countertops.
Studio McGee – pendant lights – vase
Here’s another view of this beautiful space. In addition to the curved counter stools, I love the fall kitchen counter styling:
Curves lend a modern look to a space, as well as creating a sense of softness and femininity.
However, don’t feel like you have to go all out with arches and curves if you’re on the fence about the curvy aesthetic.
Studio McGee – chair – mirror – lamp
There are plenty of simple ways to bring the rounded design trend to your home through accent pieces like mirrors, stools, coffee tables, dining chairs, lamps, and ottomans.

Stores like Lulu and Georgia, McGee & Co., Crate and Barrel, and Anthropologie are great sources for curved furniture and accent pieces for every style of home.
See my post, 2024 Home Decor Trends and Design Styles You Will Love, for more on how to incorporate the curvy home decor trend in your home.
In conclusion, incorporating the 2024 fall home decor trends in your home doesn’t have to involve a lot of effort or expense.
With just a few simple changes, you can easily update your home with warm and welcoming fall style on a budget.
Simply adding a few faux branches or single accent pillow or throw in a rich color or texture can make a huge difference in the look and feeling of your home.
