4. Woven texture – Hanging baskets to create a focal point on the wall brings a certain depth and warmth especially as the year progresses into the colder months. You can extend this texture to the wicker stands and lamp shades.

6. Terra cotta tiles – These tiles are as old as Christ Himself, and though they have been in the shadows for a while now, they may be making a big comeback this fall. The biggest win will come from using them with a dash of classic earthenware as this automatically adds character and warmth to the home.
7. Dark hues – The recent past has seen the glorification of bright white and gray but this fall is set to be different. Because the season leans more towards drama, cozy black shades will easily take the day.

8. Bold statement on the ceiling – While accent walls are famous for their captivating nature, ceilings have been docile for the most part. Well, not anymore, expect textured wallpaper, bold paint colors and embossed foam or tin ceiling tiles in these surfaces this coming fall.

9. Commanding bedrooms – Décors of the recent past have been conservative in bedrooms with plain white bedding dominating the scene. Well, brace yourself for more color and patterns and even interesting monograms inside these spaces.
10. Home accessories in matte black – Kitchens and bathrooms especially, will spot a lot more faucets and light fixtures in matte black.
