Fall Colors To Inspire Your Next Remodeling Project
Whether you’re giving a room a mini facelift or redecorating a whole house, deciding on a color palette is a productive first step. And if you’re looking for inspiration, there’s no better place to look than outside. Right now, you’ll find the warmer colors of autumn that create a sense of coziness, drawing us inside and together.
Sherwin-Williams, the U.S. paint giant, was one of the first major players to announce its color trends for 2020-21. Two of its palettes, “Alive” and “Heart,” feature warmer tones that elegantly capture the feeling of fall. Here, Sloane’s Carpet Secret explores the palettes and how to bring them into your design plans.
Alive
This color palette has evolved from recent jewel tones into more subtle tones that speak of the vibrant organic colors of fruits and vegetables.
- Start with the rooms’ foundations. Explore your premium carpet options at Sloane’s available in colors much like “Touch of Sand.” Mandoline and Content are currently on sale.
- Try an accent wall in “Ripe Olive.”
- A denim-covered couch would mimic “Endless Sea” nicely.
- Add some throw pillows inspired by “Cavern Clay,” “Sandbank” and “Canyon Clay.”
Heart
These quieter, neutral tones bring a warmth with clove, soft coral and earth tones. They lend a protective, insulated feeling to your space.
- Again, start with the rooms’ foundations. The hues of either “Diverse Beige” or “Original White” can be found in several discounted carpets at Sloane’s. Check out Entice, Camden and Accolade.
- Create an interesting, yet silky-smooth transition between two rooms using “Angora” and “Likeable Sand” on the walls.
- “Dark Clove” would provide a rich contrast for trim. Or, if you’re not ready to make that big of an investment, try using this color on a set of picture frames or a large piece of furniture.
- Pick up “Coral Clay,” “Verde Marron” and “Cocoa Whip” in your artwork, area rugs and throws.
We love how these fall palettes balance soothing, protective feelings with interest and subtle stimulation. They’re the perfect antidote to life’s hubbub, creating calm from the outside world.
