While you may prefer saturated colors, another may prefer neutrals or pastels. The perfect fall color palette looks different in each home, so don't be afraid to get creative and let your personal style stand out.

BURNT ORANGE, RED, AND CORAL
When you think of fall, what are the first colors that come to mind? If you said orange and red, you’re not alone! Because of how the leaves change from a bright, lively green to a red, yellow, orange, or burgundy color, it’s common to associate these colors with the season of fall altogether.
These colors feel warm and comfortable and like you could cozy up next to them on your couch. These colors remind us of home-cooked meals and apple cider and having friends and family over on the weekends. Decorating your home with these colors during the fall season is one of the best ways to turn a house into a home.
Here are a few décor tips for incorporating these options on your fall color palette into your home:
Consider a Kantha Quilt as the perfect addition to your bed, couch, or sitting area. With a range of designs and color options, you can find various styles that incorporate burnt orange, red, coral, and other warm, earthy tones.
For less saturated fall color palette options, take a look at our Petite Glass Pitcher in Blush. Use it to serve fresh apple cider or lemonade, or fill it with flowers or greenery. Or simply put it on display on your dining room table, counter, or mantel.
When you purchase our glass pitcher, you support artisans in Morocco who handcraft each piece by carefully molding and painting each piece themselves. Enjoy high-quality pieces that match your fall color palette and make a difference.
EMERALD GREEN AND CREAM
Two colors that may also come to mind when you think of a fall color palette are emerald green and cream. Emerald green is rich in beautiful, deep hues that reflect a warm feel. This color is bold yet subtle in its beauty, making it the perfect pair with cream.
Cream has become a popular color, both in home décor and fashion. Cream is neutral enough to match with a variety of colors and helps brighten up spaces in your home and wardrobe. Consider pairing cream with more saturated colors, like emerald or burnt orange and red.
Here’s how you can style these colors in your home:
Find one of our kantha quilts or throws, like our Kantha Quilt. With intricate, hand-sewn patterns made from vintage cotton saris and a Traditional Kantha Stitch, this piece is an excellent addition to your home.

OLIVE GREEN, MOSS GREEN, AND BRASS
Another popular fall color palette includes olive green, moss green, and brass. These colors are smooth, warm, and lively colors that bring freshness to the traditional orange colors associated with fall. To make your home feel more lively, happy, and whimsical, aim for unique designs and patterns.
Our Kantha Quilt is a beautiful blanket to cozy up with. Made in Bangladesh and purchased to support women who are survivors of human trafficking and abuse, this blanket is double-sided, so you get two patterns in one blanket.

INDIGO AND WOOD
Wood tones and indigo are two deep, rich ways to bring out warmth and beauty in your home. Add a dark wood tone to your fall color palette by displaying one of our Acacia Wood Heart Bowls or our Ikat Table Runner. Pair the two together for the perfect dining room setup.
The heart-shaped bowls are made by artisans in the Philippines. Your purchase helps them obtain the opportunity and resources they need to thrive. Your purchase of the table runner helps support women weavers in Guatemala to receive fair wages and help them support their families.

TAN, TAUPE, OR CARAMEL
While greens, blues, emeralds, and oranges are beautiful color options that help embody the fall color palette and bring warmth to your home, you may prefer to mix a number of other colors or opt for a more neutral color palette instead.
If you prefer neutral colors over the more saturated ones, you may want tan, taupe, and caramel as part of your fall color palette.
