Top Design Trends to Look for This Fall
Top Design Trends to Look for This Fall
Fall is rapidly approaching and with it comes the excitement of pumpkin spice lattes, cozy sweaters, and the green leaves of summer shifting to bright, autumnal shades of orange, red, and yellow. If you spent most of summer traveling or enjoying outdoor activities, your home may be in need of a seasonal refresh, which means it’s time to explore what design trends are in style this season.
This fall, warm colors, luxury design elements, and bold patterns are making a comeback. Take a look at these top three design trends to see which one matches your personal aesthetic.
Grocery Girl
Although this isn’t necessarily a new design, the grocery girl trend has recently increased in popularity. This growth is mostly due to the rising interest in farmer’s markets and the internet’s “tomato girl summer,” an aesthetic centered on the color red with neutral accent tones such as white, beige, and black.
Inspired by fruits, vegetables, and condiments, the grocery girl trend isn’t limited to clothes and fashion. It has also influenced produce-themed cast iron and stoneware ceramics cookware, like this Staub Enameled Cast Iron Tomato Cocotte from Williams Sonoma. This design trend is a great way to infuse your space with harvest-themed decor for the fall season.
Quiet Luxury
Last seen as a popular design trend after the economically precarious times of the 2008 recession, quiet luxury is rising in popularity once again in this post-pandemic era. During the pandemic, people were using every space and surface of their home as a work area, office, school, or gym. Now that public spaces have reopened and returned to normal, people are reclaiming formal spaces in their homes.
Quiet luxury focuses on creating quiet, calming zones reflecting a sophisticated, elegant, and timeless aesthetic. Think an effortlessly elegant home bar with earthy tones or a muted color palette to infuse natural elements and warmth into an industrial modern space.
This style also emphasizes sustainability and conscious consumerism, meaning this is your chance to invest in high-quality sustainable materials and artisan handmade pieces to create an elegant living space balancing luxury and comfort.
Maximalism
This fall marks a shift from a clean-lined, minimalist aesthetic to a maximalist design that embraces excessive decor with an emphasis on personal expression. Bold and eclectic, maximalist design is characterized by excess, exuberance, and clashing colors and patterns. This idea seems to clash with quiet luxury, but it’s actually completely possible to blend the two.
While quiet luxury focuses on sustainability and sophistication, maximalism can integrate these concepts by mixing and customizing old and new styles. This design often repurposes existing styles and trends, blending vintage, retro, and modern elements to create a dynamic visual experience. It also focuses on incorporating statement pieces while offering flexibility to showcase personal mementos and meaningful items.
If you need some inspiration to successfully pull off this design, start by mixing classic and trendy furniture pieces in shades of mossy green, chocolate brown, and caramel. Additionally, try layering accessories, like textured rugs, curtains, throw pillows, and blankets in mixed textures such as velvet, leather, cashmere, wool, and linen.
Create Your Ideal Fall Aesthetic
As we all know, trends come and go, but it’s only to make way for new trends to help you refresh your space and try out designs or styles you wouldn’t normally consider. Spend some time exploring fall’s newest decorating trends to see what catches your eye and create a totally new aesthetic that makes your home feel cozy, elegant, and brand-new for the upcoming season.
