Like everyone else during these times, you’ve probably gotten familiar with where you live on levels you never thought imaginable. It’s a trend that’s expected to stick around, which means the need for a home where it’s a delight to unwind in is more important than ever. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate new beginnings and out with the past (you know what we’re talking about) than with this guide to the fall interior décor ideas that are hot this year. Follow along, get inspired, and bring new life to your living situation.
Embrace Familiarity
There’s a huge desire for people to feel less uncertain (which has officially become a trigger word) and to return to things that feel familiar. The industrial look has had its moment, but with its waning, traces of vintage design remain—and they’re getting their due renaissance. Give your space a dash of timeless charm with vintage-inspired picture frames, the patina of distressed metals or washed wood finishes, or retro patterns from another decade.
Midcentury modern still might have a firm grasp on interior design, but there’s a big upsurge of Cottagecore and Victorian-inspired furniture that’s giving the era a run for its money. Signature features of these styles include sofas with Queen Anne legs, details woodwork, florals, and colors reminiscent of an English garden.

Another way of coping with the tedium of staying at home? Take the present day out of the equation. This has always been a helpful tool for creating a living space that feels detached from the world outside. This season, ‘70s-inspired furniture and décor is the poster child for a home that feels fresh, funky, and fashion-forward.
Here’s another time geometric shapes have a big impact. After all, this is the decade that brought us lava lamps, bell bottom pants, and the phenomenon that was Disco, so bigger is better. That goes for mustard yellow, too, the color that was big during the ‘70s and that is having a big comeback. It’s a daring color, so we recommend using it thoughtfully.
If you’re feeling brave, a mustard yellow sofa or accent seat provides more than enough of the shade to give a space that retro ‘70s feel. If you’re not ready for a full-on commitment, go for accent pieces such as pillows, curtains, or framed pictures and play with shapes using a collection of décor pieces that tie the look together.
Warm Colors
This is a timeless go-to for enjoying a touch of coziness as the weather begins to crisp up. Which colors are on-trend this year? Think terracotta and earth tones. The pink hue of the clay material is great for adding undertones of warmth, especially when paired with brassy metals, copper, and gold tones. The neutral shade also works great with sage greens, eggshell whites, yellows, and browns to create a toasty feel that reenergizes spaces with hints of elements found around nature.
Go big and make a statement wall or create a curated collection of terracotta-colored décor with figurines, frames, accent pillows, and even a rug or poof for furniture pieces with dual function.
Comfort is Key
It seems obvious to say, but there’s a reason we recommend rediscovering what comfort actually means. For a long time, that meant having the luxury of an open floor plan, but with more time being enjoyed indoors, that trend is quickly becoming a relic. Luckily, open floor plans can still be made to feel cozy and comfortable. The key is creating dedicated zones that encourage mingling, enjoying entertainment, or simply relaxing.
Start by reimagining how your furniture works. Create purposeful disruption by rearranging a sofa or loveseat into configurations that are naturally inviting. You’ll also want to load up on throws and pillows to fight off those chilly fall nights. This season, go for chunky textures, big weaves, and natural materials for a comfy touch of style that is currently all the rage.
