Countryside harmony

Countryside harmony

Large windows let in plenty of sunlight to show off the bright fall colors in this Michigan farmhouse. Tall glass vases on the table display fall's bounty-pumpkins, gourds and autumn branches-while farm-inspired dishware continues the nature theme.  The contents of the vases can easily be switched out with seasonal decor to match entertaining needs.

Barn charm

Barn charm

Red-orange accents complement rustic browns in the dining room of this Ohio barn-style home. Pumpkins, apples and mums on the mantel and tables lend more fall color. Statement pieces such as the wine-barrel-stave chandelier and a 19th-century clock add drama.

Texture and color

Texture and color

Texture is a major player in this mostly beige living room. Orange, coral and red accents create an upbeat mood. Throw pillows can be swapped out for a new look as the seasons change.

Sweater weather

Sweater weather

Playful yet sophisticated, this living room invites lazy afternoons by the fire. Branches with fall leaves above the fireplace echo the room's color scheme. Pine-clad walls and sleek lines give the space a clean, modern feel.

Earthy palette

Earthy palette

Fall produces colors other than striking oranges and reds; you can create a serene autumn scene using rich, earthy neutrals. In this kitchen, open shelves show off elegant white dishware as well as white gourds from the garden. Apples in baskets and bowls add a snap of color.

Pumpkin spice

Pumpkin spice

Prepare for fall entertaining with a festive table setting. To make a DIY table runner like the one in this living room, pick up a seasonal pattern from a local fabric store. Make sure the piece you choose is long enough to run the entire length of your table. Hem the edges and top with pumpkins or other seasonal materials.

Fall accents

Fall accents

The rich patinas of pewter, copper or brass accents reflect the beautiful burnished colors of fall in this dining room. Wood pieces work well, too!

An apricot-colored ceiling contrasts with this kitchen's white cabinets and brings the eye up to the detailed trim. Gourds, apples and other fall produce complement the room's autumn hues.

Sheet swap

Sheet swap

Sheets need to be swapped out regularly anyway, so why not rotate them with the seasons? Bold red sheets and shams in this bedroom pop against the grey bedframe and bedspread.

Bold mix

Bold mix

If you love colorful rooms, start with one patterned piece and build your color scheme from there. In this dining room, oranges, reds, yellows, and tans are drawn from the rug and repeated in other furniture throughout the space. A few neutral pieces, such as the black buffet and brown table, provide a place for the eye to rest.

Open and airy

Open and airy

This room makes the most of the home's natural setting with large sliding doors that open onto the back yard. Crisp white draperies and upholstery contrast with a thin strip of orange that adds just a touch of autumn color.

Farmhouse family room

Farmhouse family room

Neutral rooms easily transition from season to season. Throw blankets in orange and brown, along with green apple accents, add to the fall tone of this family room. Wood beams, a hayloft window and paneling on the vaulted ceiling reflect a farmhouse aesthetic.

Eclectic look

Bright autumnal tones create an energetic vibe in this relaxed living room. Curtains, throw pillows and coffee table accessories can be changed to match the season. The eclectic furniture and décor give the room a collected-over-time look.

Subtle changes

Subtle changes

Small changes can make a big difference to a room. Here, a solid white lampshade was wrapped in linen to give the room a subtle fall mood. Branches in a nearby tin and orange vase add to the autumn tones.
