This weekend I could feel it. A slight shift in the season. The air turned crisp as a warm afternoon waned. I looked up and it was dark before 8:30pm. The smell of freshly sharpened pencils is filling the air. Well not quite, but you get where I’m going. While I’ve been craving nothing but light and bright interiors all summer long, fall is the perfect time to embrace some rich color palettes. If you’re looking for some fall inspiration, here are five fall color palettes catching my eye right now.

Teal is having a moment and this kitchen perfectly exemplifies why. It’s rich, it’s warm and very grounding. Pairing teal with those beautiful light floors and walls, brass accents and leather pulls is simply delicious.

Gold. Mustard. Marigold. Golden yellow hues in all forms are also catching my eye for fall. It’s the perfect accent in an otherwise timeless color palette of black, white and warm browns.

Pink is officially a neutral, but it doesn’t have to be reserved for the sunny seasons. When grounded in a sea of creamy neutrals, the girlie edge is taken off. I’m loving the addition of mauve and dusty purple to the mix for a lighter approach to the fall season.

A cool mix of deep navy, grays, and just hints of warm brown feel like a cozy fall hug. I think I would crawl into that bed and not get out until next spring!

While warm brown can overwhelm a room (bad catalog furniture sets come to mind), when you add touches of warm brown to white, bright spaces and balance it with creams, taupes and a touch of ice blue it feels inviting, welcoming and very relaxed.

What do you think? Is a color palette calling your name?
