Since early spring, the whole world has been spending a lot more time at home than usual. You’ve probably moved furniture around a few times to change your home’s appearance and also to get some workout. However, it’s already fall, and the pandemic is still here.

Much like fashion designers, interior designs take into consideration fashion, history, and modern art to find out what should be the next big thing in home decor. This year, many interior designers believe that fall is not about significant changes. In fact, a few additions or changes can make your house à-la-mode and fresh.

Uncertainly, there are some major decor suspects that translate to fall decor, including warm toned colors and rich shades, decadent textures, and of course, earthy scents.

Choosing a lamp that suits your house is bringing light to your furniture’s details and evoking a certain feel in your home.

Rattan Accents

Rattan used to be for patios only, but in 2020, it became the superstar of home decor trends. It’s having a flashy moment in modern living rooms and even bedrooms. Rattan comes from a vine-like palm plant, and it’s a natural material used in baskets, furniture, baskets, and many other home accents. The material is so flexible that it can be bent and shaped to different patterns and forms. As it is water-resistant, it is mainly used in patios. However, interior designers have decided that Rattan belongs inside as well, in our living rooms and even bedrooms. It can be used on furniture, tabletop accessories, and even lightings. Whatever you put it on, Rattan looks and feels great. And don’t worry, it won’t mess up your home styles. Rattan goes well with boho, traditional, coastal, and even contemporary. It can easily be painted for more color and shape. If you have been shopping lately, you probably noticed Rattan present in many furniture pieces. If your budget is tight, you can find many vintage Rattan pieces on Etsy and other websites.

Monochromatic Color Palettes

Yes, colors are fun. Having a mixture of warm and cold shades can make your home feel fresh and tropical. However, this fall, there is a new trend concerning colors. Monochromatic palettes are so à-la-mode this year. Decorating with a monochromatic color scheme palette means using the same tone throughout most room elements, from the wall paint to the artwork, furniture, and even the floor. A monochromatic color scheme doesn’t mean that your entire living room needs to be one shade of blue or green. In fact, the shades of the same color can vary from a dark shaded floor to lighter furniture and a painting on the wall that combines the two.

Layered Lighting

Having layered lighting in a room evokes different emotions as the lighting changes and highlights different spaces in the same room. Layering Lighting in a home may not be as easy or complicated as you may think. Using different layers of lighting can evoke comfort and beauty. Focus on three layers: ambient, task, and accent lighting. The first can provide illumination so you won’t stub your toe at night when you go to the kitchen for your 2 AM snack. The second for specific tasks and the third for style. This latter may or may not add extra light. It comes in the form of candles and sparkling chandeliers. Layering lighting in a room simply means stepping beyond the simple general light and thoughtfully creating a generous lightscape.

A Touch of Nature

The pandemic has brought upon everyone’s stressful moments. While quarantined, most people missed nature, which is why it’s now more important than ever to have a touch of nature in our own home. Simple additions can help us stay calm and hope for a better future. Bringing a simple touch of the natural world into your house will make you feel relaxed and at ease. There are many ways to incorporate this fall trend into a room, including houseplants, natural materials like wood, and even fountains.

Cozy Corners

Home decor has switched recently to comfortable and stylish. Cozy corners are still trendy this fall. Creating a corner that gives your house that lounge vibe while also inviting you to sit on, read a book with a cup of tea is so much in style this season. Your cozy corner can be in the living room, bedroom, or even in the balcony. You just have to choose the brightest corner, add a houseplant, layered pillows with different patterns, a lamp if you are planning to read there, and an artistic painting as the cherry on the top.

While the world is one big chaos right now, adding a few items or redecorating your home for fall could be exactly what you need to get things in order.
