How to Embrace 2025 Fall Decorating Trends with Warm Colors and Textures

Fall home decor takes its cue from the season’s mellowed hues, turning green to olive, berry to burgundy and peach to pumpkin.

Our natural surroundings influence our home decor, and autumn typically inspires some of the most dramatic changes. We switch out the lemon yellow accent pillows, the whitewashed wood candle holders and crisp white linens of summer with decor that better defines the warmth and comfort we crave as the weather chills.

While these decor changes happen every year, each season brings subtle nuances. What design elements define fall 2025 home decor trends?

For fall 2025, decorators predict a mood of “quiet luxury,” with dramatic colors, woodsy motifs and an emphasis on texture.

These break-downs provide further insight.

Look for rich earthy tones such as terracotta, forest green, olive and deep brown. Plum and burgundy are also important this season, notes The Spruce, as are mustard yellow accents. 

You can introduce these tones into your current decor with simple additions like a fall wreath, garland, pillow or throw blanket. 

For a deeper dive into seasonal shade for fall decor, consider updating a room color in a rich brown or mossy green. Natural wood continues to be popular for fall decorating, but tones are trending darker, notes the American Society of Interior Designers. You’ll notice more walnut, oak, cherry and mahogany wood finishes.

Texture defines autumn decorating. “Texture is having a moment,” says Elle Decor, with designers unafraid to layer textures. Think touchable fabrics, natural wicker weaves and glamorous fringe and tassels that blend and contrast in a complex tapestry of finishes.

Adding visually to the array are bold patterns, blockprints, florals, leaves and Art Deco-inspired shapes and designs.

Introduce texture into your autumn decor with woven baskets, chunky knits, natural woods and stone. Velvet sofas or armchairs are among this year’s most important pieces.

To complement those earthy colors and complex textures, designers are turning to natural materials as accents and finishes, says Forbes. Fall decorations this year call for layered details. Develop depth in your decor with touches of brass, marble, wood and stone. 

Consider accents like marble bowls, wood trays and stone and wood pieces with brass accents.

Vogue is among the design devotees who have observed a renewed interest in Art Deco, not just in furniture silhouettes, but also regarding patterns and motifs. Whether turning toward a more glamorous, luxurious look reflects minimalist burnout or a new cycle of discovery, deco-style drama surfaces this year in bold patterns, geometric designs, mirrored finishes and metallic touches from gold to chrome.

The rise of remote work has put a spotlight on the home office, with all its comforts and shortcomings. Whether “the office” is steps from the bedroom or a commute away, workers increasingly want to warm up and personalize their workspace.

In fact, office updates could be one of the hottest 2025 trends. According to Pinterest’s 2025 Fall Trend Report, searches for “chic cubicle decor” are up 1,543%, searches for “work office makeover” are up 2,652% and searches for “luxe office” are up 2,766%.

To elevate your workday environment, consider installing a personal coffee maker or adding desk decor in a fun pattern. Upgrade your workspace by choosing office and desk decor that is both utilitarian and artistic.

Interest in biophilic design elements that connect people to nature continues to grow. If your office space isn’t conducive to live plants, introduce artificial plants for similar wellness benefits. 

Acorns are in this year! Foraged or faux, you’ll find large and small acorn nuts tucked among table arrangements and adding atmosphere to shelves. Other popular woodland motifs include birds, owls, deer and squirrels.

With the increased importance of patterns in fabrics and wallcoverings, look for lots of pattern play and pattern drenching.

Fall 2025 is all about layering warmth, texture and personality into your living spaces. From earthy tones and natural finishes to Art Deco flair and cozy, touchable fabrics, this year’s fall decor trends invite you to slow down and savor the season.

Whether you’re refreshing your family room, adding a few acorn-inspired accents or going bold with rich shades of chocolate brown and forest green, fall decorating offers endless opportunities to express your style.

Embrace the shift in season and let your home reflect the comfort and beauty that autumn naturally inspires.
