Excited for fall? Us, too! Hurricanes, heat, humidity and COVID worries have made all of us more than a bit weary and ready for a change of pace. As the days cool and the leaves pile up, who isn’t “playing the field” to find their new fall crush?! House Dressings has been on the prowl for the best fall 2020 design trends and we can’t wait to share!
This season the House Dressings team is falling for . . .
1) Caramel lattes aren’t just for sippin’: Fall means pumpkins, cinnamon spice and caramel! Fall is one of my favorite times of year and I’m excited to welcome the changing colors – inside and out. The color caramel is making a big impact this fall. Touches of this soothing color throughout your home will add that warmth and coziness that we’re all craving this time of year. Go ahead and grab a Caramel Latte and enjoy this beautiful weather!

2) Rockin’ that rattan: I love all things rattan -- especially rattan accent chairs in all shapes and sizes! They bring extra texture, design, and a natural look to any room. You can also add fall accent pillows and/or cushions and throws in trending greens, rusts, blues and deep grays for some seasonal spice. If you’re feeling extra festive, why not change out your pillows and throws to match every season?!

3) Singing the blues: My favorite trend for fall - all hues of blue! As the days shorten and the nights grow longer this time of year, blue is a natural choice for fall decorating. I’m especially loving blue velvet and vintage accents in the dining and living rooms. Who can resist a taste of navy-blue velvet chairs in the dining room paired with gorgeous hardwood floors and stylish wallpaper?!

4) Oldies + newbies: What’s old is new - we’re talking about “grand-millenial” style! Described by one interior designer, Ariel Orkin, a grand-millenial is someone who is really a “new traditionalist” — someone who has an appreciation for the past. Think mixed prints like gingham or toile with fresh, layered color for a new take on old-school style. This works great for fall staging because many sellers have beautiful old furniture that can be made new with a pop of autumn-colored gingham or toile. I’ve always loved that eclectic mix of old and new, and fall is the perfect time to usher the grand-millenial style into our homes.

5) It’s cuddle time: Fall is here, and I love spending evenings on my back patio, sitting next to the fire pit, watching the red birds and squirrels. Cozy fur throws evoke a sense of luxury, warmth, and sophistication, a perfect match for crisp fall nights. Add leather pillows and you’ll never want to go back inside!
– Rebecca B., Operations Coordinator
6) Four-paw prints: Can you guess what Halloween black cats have in common with this fall trend? There’s no better time than now for a little Meow! Yep, a small splash of animal print is that just-right ingredient to welcome fall 2020. We’ve definitely seen animal prints come and go through the years, but 2020 welcomed the critter-patterned fabric back – in very small doses. So go ahead and add some subtle safari to your fall home décor (I sure did!), because all we have is Meow!
