Simple Fall Colors in the Living Room

Simple touches of fall in this beautiful neutral living room

Little touches of fall continue to appear not only outside, but inside our home as well. Last week I shared a very simple fall table inspired by the leaves falling from the trees, and I expressed to you my feelings of wanting to embrace the natural beauty of the season and create a cozy home without feeling fussy or untouchable. Of course I could pile a ton of pumpkins and baskets of mums in all the fall colors into my house to get the perfect pretty photo for you guys, and sometimes I truly LOVE doing that to celebrate the season and play around with all the gorgeous bounty nature gives us this time of year! But behind the pretty photos is a family who lives in this tiny farmhouse, and I’ve learned that the less I fill these rooms with “stuff”, the more room we have to live and breathe and be together.

So this year my fall decorating in the living room includes a few white pumpkins and candles, a few branches of leaves just like I used on my fall table, lots of cozy layers and textures, and a surprising (for me, anyway) pop of color in the form of some new gorgeous green velvet pillows. Oh baby, how I love this swanky green color. Those of you who read my post about 5 easy ways to welcome fall into your home may recognize how I used some of those elements here… all five, actually!

If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, it’s probably no secret that my heart skips a beat for subtle neutral colors, and you’ll rarely see bold pops of color in our home. But something this year was pulling me towards beautiful shades of green, and I love that green can be bright and fresh in the spring and summer or a little moodier in the fall and winter. The muted forest green, almost teal shade of these pillows combined with the soft, luxurious velvet fabric felt like the perfect non traditional fall color for our living room, and when combined with a few simple neutral pillows, the green really becomes the focal point of the room.

I carried the color into the hutch behind the couch as well with a collection of antique books with faded green covers and a few branches of leaves sitting in a wood bowl at the very top. I wanted to find a few things in a pretty cognac color to accent and warm up the green, but for now all I have is my purse to show you the look I was going for. This is my version of the traditional “orange and green” you might think of for fall or Halloween, and while it may not be super bold of playful for anyone else, this feels like a fun departure from my typically very neutral decor.

To be completely honest, I have yet to crawl into our attic and bring down my boxes of fall decor because I just don’t feel the need to do it this year. I love the simplicity of our home this fall and that it won’t be a huge undertaking to transition to the next season either. I’m sure you all can relate to being in a busy season of life and feeling like you can’t ever be on top of everything, so I hope this inspires you to push away the need to create elaborate perfection and find the beauty in less. Thank you so much for visiting with me today! xoxo

    I absolutely agree!!! I LOVE your simple fall touches, sometimes just the simple things are enough 🙂 I think your pops of green are perfect with all your neutral texture, I wouldn’t change a thing 🙂

    “Simplicity” was my 2018 word to live by.

    I have totes and totes of Fall & Christmas decor but like you have not felt the need or desire to even go through them, the past couple years. Honesty, it makes me anxious. Less is definitely better for me and I enjoy it more.

    It’s ironic how we evolve with our style and whatvreally brings us joy as we mature and grow.

    Love your style and look forward to your blogs. Do you recall where you purchased your couch? I’ve seen it in several other blogs but can’t find out where it came from. Thanks!

Who wants to go shopping with me?! Well, virtuall Who wants to go shopping with me?!

Well, virtually... but I promise it will still be fun! I took a trip to a store I've never been to before and found some of the prettiest decor for such a good deal at @tuesdaymorning. #ad After all the snow we've had the last few weeks, getting out of the house and putting real clothes on for a solo shopping trip felt like such a treat!

A few of my favorite finds were: an extra-long lumbar pillow for my sofa, beautiful black textured bowls that I can't decide if I want to actually use in my kitchen or decorate with, a bouquet of dried greenery, and a new dog bed for Remington. I will be sharing how I styled these items on the blog next week, so stay tuned!

Swipe to see video of my shopping trip and all that you can find at a Tuesday Morning near you! Do you have a store close to you? Have you been before? Let me know in the comments!

Later this week: sharing a home decor shopping trip to a store I’ve never been to before, photographing my office (just wait till you see how big of a difference adding some shelves in here made), unboxing tons of new spring items for @lovegrowswildmarket, and adding some artwork to this blank wall!

Which are you most excited to see? P.S. still absolutely obsessed with the new dining chairs 😍

Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my to Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my toughest clients yet... my teenage son. 😂 Actually, he is probably the easiest person to please, and his requests for the upcoming bedroom makeover we are planning were pretty simple:

• blackout curtains so he can sleep in on weekends
• a new darker paint color
• somewhere to charge all his devices

I think I can handle that! This room is quite a challenge with the small size & layout, but I think we’ve come up with a game plan to make it more functional and much more “him”. 

Once I catch up on all my current projects and design work, I’m excited to dive into making this space perfect for him! P.S. where did my little boy go that wanted Thomas the Train as the theme in his bedroom? 🥺

One of the biggest challenges in this space was finding the right size furniture to maximize the small space & functionality without sacrificing design. She wanted to keep the house light, bright and airy while still feeling warm & cozy, and this feels like the right balance with soft whites & grays paired with wood tones & natural fibers.

Now that the snow is almost melted, I can’t help but daydream about what I’m going to plant this year, dinners out on the deck, and naps under the shade of the gazebo. The first glimpse of spring always reminds me how grateful I am for the little things and especially this cozy little house of mine.
