7 Fall Décor Trends That Will Define This Season, Interior Designers Say

‘Tis the season of pumpkin spice and cozy nights in—and with the change of temperature comes a new wave of design trends. Autumn is a time when moody tones and unexpected silhouettes come back in style, so if you're itching to give your abode a seasonal update, then it's a good idea to look toward these aesthetics for inspiration.

Here, we tapped two interior designers regarding the fall décor trends that will be everywhere in 2025—along with their tips on how to incorporate them into your home.

Stone Statements

This year, there's a collective craving for earthy materials in the home—and stone is at the forefront.

"I love statement stone pieces, like bold bathroom vanities and dramatic side tables with rich veining," says interior designer Emily LaMarque. "Fall brings a strong shift toward warm, cozy textures and natural materials, which helps create comfortable, grounded spaces."

Custom DIY Elements

People continue to be drawn toward maximalism, and the furniture this fall is following suit.

"Homeowners are craving personality and custom finishes—whether [it's] a brushed bronze lamp base or a hand-stained side table," says TC Chou, interior designer and founder of Design Determination.

You don't need to break a sweat to get in on the trend either. "Small, accessible choices make a big impact," he adds. "A dresser refreshed with a matte paint finish or cabinet pulls swapped for brushed nickel or aged brass can instantly bring that custom feeling."

Saturated, Nature-Inspired Hues

The autumnal palette this year is taking on an outdoorsy outfit.

"I’m anticipating earthy mid-tones with thoughtful accents, like clay and terracotta, olive and moss, and honeyed ochre—all set against deep indigo or smoky plum," says Chou. "It’s a nod to nature but still feels fresh and modern."

LaMarque recommends trying these colors on cabinetry, walls, and even molding. "These palettes are a welcome departure from bright whites, safe beiges, and lackluster gray tones that reigned supreme for so long," she says.

Vintage Accents

As people lean more toward sustainable design choices, fall provides a great opportunity to introduce secondhand furnishings in playful, unexpected ways.

"Bring back a few items that you might have put away and consider repurposing them," LaMarque says. "Reupholster an old chair, hang your grandmother’s chandelier, [or] display your flea market finds."

Sculptural Forms

Chou is excited to see practical objects—such as lighting and tables—take on sculptural forms this fall.

"Sculptural design can be surprisingly affordable—try a ceramic vase with a curvy silhouette, candlesticks with playful lines, or a table lamp with a rounded base," he says. "These pieces double as décor and functional essentials.”

Cozy, Irregular Textures

Cozy textures are always an autumn staple. This year, however, the idea is to make them a little more rugged and rough. "Tactile comfort is having a moment," Chou says. "Boucle throws, rattan surfaces, and raw-wood accents layer beautifully to create warmth and dimension."

Curvy Silhouettes

Curvaceous furniture from the likes of Sophie Collé and Gustaf Westman has made waves in the design world, but it's manifesting in more subtle ways this season.

"We're seeing gentle curves in furniture pieces joining vintage and retro silhouettes, creating atmospheres with timeless, comfortable elegance," LaMarque says.

Chou notes that the trend indicates a penchant for silhouettes that are soft and approachable. "Rounded edges, playful organic curves, sculptural bases—[these add] a sense of ease and warmth to everyday rooms," he adds.
