While I appreciate the quiet, muted side of autumn, I’m equally captivated by the vibrant colors of changing leaves. Nature provides endless inspiration for color and texture, and each fall I’m drawn to rust, coral, and orange. Those tones feel warm and energizing, and they bring a happy brightness to any room.
I’ve introduced these hues into my own home through curtains in my office, accents in the guest bedroom, touches in my son’s room, and the occasional pillow or decorative accessory. A bit of rust or coral goes a long way toward creating warmth and personality without overwhelming a space.
Below are several rooms that celebrate fall’s palette—rooms that use rust, orange, and coral in tasteful and unexpected ways. Consider these ideas for adding seasonal color to your own home: incorporate a statement pillow, layer a textured throw, or add a single bold piece of furniture or artwork to anchor a room in autumnal hues.

I’m honored to have my home featured in the fall issue of Cupcake Mag. The spread showcases how simple accents and thoughtful color choices can make a home feel seasonal and welcoming. If you enjoy styling for autumn, try mixing a few rich, rusty tones with neutrals like gray, cream, or warm wood finishes to create depth and harmony.
