Cozy Autumn Colors & Fall Moments to Soothe

I’m enjoying the bright green grass and leaves just now, but in my region, Fall can come with a flurry. Brown, gold, and crimson will emerge and then be visible on the wind. The holidays will be arrive before we know it too. So if I am not intentional about carving out quiet, slow living, meditative moments to center my heart and mind, I may miss the beauty. This blog helps this blogger to celebrate all the lovely growing in each season. I hope today’s cozy autumn colors and fall moments soothe you and delight.

Cozy Autumn Colors & Fall Moments to Soothe

.(Above: Oh, Loi have mercy, your fall vibes are always the bees knees!)

Last Year in Autumn

It’s hard to believe that a year ago we found a house, and we began thinking about selling the home we worked so hard to transform. We decided then to not feverishly tackle the new renovations and to pace ourselves. It was a peaceful time of doing little things at the new house and coming home to rest.

My favorite cozy autumn colors are muted neutrals like these:

Even subtle touches like little pumpkins and hydrangea on a perch next to a bed can set a cozy tone.

Do You Decorate for Fall?

I don’t get too concerned about seasonal decorating, but I do like natural decor such as a few pumpkins and mums on the porch. Inside, simple branches in a base and candles get lit often. Our porch last year:

I still need a new doormat!

Maybe this one:

or this?

Sophisticated, Understated Fall Moments

Fall color is so fleeting which makes it all the more magical. One day I plan to make an effort to get out and snap photos of pretty homes with colorful leaves (one of the benefits of living in a place with seasons!). Thank goodness, there is a Bettie Bearden Pardee:

Isn’t that the most elegant gourd-geous fall welcome?

Sigh!

I can’t wait to get baking for autumn!

What a treat it must be to have an old barn where dinners can be hosted like this:

With so much glorious harvest goodness, who can resist the warmth of a bonfire or the promise of a quiet day of delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen where apples and cinnamon are baking?

Quiet Euro Country Whites & Neutrals in Autumn

Is orange optional?

Proof that white can be cozy too…

The warmth of this vanity is such an amazing moment in this otherwise cool toned bath:

Which Fall Colors Speak to You?

Are you a terracotta or russet person?

I do appreciate the color of a golden crust with its toasty brown.

We looked at some incredible bunk beds in THIS, and the mustard colors in the mood board below feel very autumnal to me.

I could never tire of the baby boos.

And you just can’t go wrong with them on a mantel:

How do you like your fall pumpkins anyway?

(a.) In a cake? (b.) luscious pie? (c.) savory soup*?

*Here’s an excellent book by Drew Smith, SOUPOLOGY (Rizzoli, 2020) to learn to master six broths which can be turned into 60 soups! Is it too lofty a goal to make 60 soups this autumn?

Or

(d) as a receptacle for richly hued fall blooms with a sexy split pomegranate reclining naked on the side?

(It’s d all day for me thanks to French Garden House!!!)

Falling for Falling Leaves

Is this your idea of beautiful falling leaves?

or does this variety below sizzle yer bacon?

One of Hello Lovely’s followers on FB (you should totes follow here…whimsy galore!) said she made a corn cob wreath like the one below and watched squirrels leaping to her front door to feast.

That sounds like fabulous fall entertainment!

Outdoor Fall Dining

In spite of so many inspiring tablescapes, I have never orchestrated an outdoor fall party…it’s a romantic prospect though considering how easy Gwen Moss makes it look, oui?

Oh, fall trees, who can compete with your beauty!?!

What say ye about the green background of the quotes in this post? It’s Farrow & Ball’s Green Smoke (F&B samples can now be snapped up for 8 bucks!).

This color exploded on my radar the moment I glimpsed Charlotte’s freshened kitchen cabinets in her French farmhouse below:

Can you EVEN get over the warmth of old reclaimed earthy pumpkin-hued weathered terracotta hex magic with the sophistication of the slightly mysterious green? See my story with glorious dark greens right HERE and sage green HERE.

If you have yet to discover French homewares at Vivi et Margot…your socks are about to be rocked, pumpkin. I even found a smart wool beret at Charlotte’s shop!

Fall Decor Finds

If you follow Good Life of Design on FB, then you may have seen the happiest fall wreath on the planet gracing her front door.

Gracious host and talented interior designer, Kathy, shared her Williams-Sonoma find and encouraged us to get this look as well.

Can you even fathom how incredible this wreath looks on a yellow or lavender door!?!
