It’s time to shrug off your spring and summer decor, and change up your space in time for fall. Brad Roemer is aware that even his house stagings will gravitate towards a smokier color palette, opting for navy blues and greys. When you think of fall, it’s impossible not to daydream of cozy sweaters, bonfires and pumpkin spice. Since the design of your private space has a direct impact on how productive and happy you are, you should invest in a few staple pieces for the fall in order to get on with the festivities. After all, thanksgiving is just around the corner!

Here are a few trends that Brad Roemer and his team of nifty designers speculate will be all the rage for Fall 2018.

Go Big, Go Bold

Muted neutrals have been recycled too many times to count. Warm yet bold colors are having a real moment now, such as orange, blue, green and red. Once you take the leap towards more color, you’ll likely never go back. Be adventurous with your fall interior design picks! You also do not need to sacrifice your personal style. Both traditional and modern home spaces could use a soft red accent vase or a forest green futon. Get your headspace out of the cream and grey catalogue.

Bring On the Green

Now is the time when you’re going to want to bring your quirky succulents into the kitchen and add a layer of moss in the living room. Another great option is a using heavier, stone accent baskets to hold your greenery in instead of the warped, lighter baskets that you’d likely see in the summer. A few other ideas that push the boundaries and are sure to be a conversation starter: A potted olive tree. It always brings Roemer back to his Moroccan voyage.

A Classic Black Wall

There’s nothing more Audrey Hepburn than a pigmented black statement wall (you’ll want to choose only one wall to avoid overpowering in a rectangular bedroom or living room) with a dusty pink sofa as a combination. Top off your space with metal accents that transcend back natural light. Apart from the walls, a sleek black furniture piece speaks sophistication and wit. If only furniture could talk…

Diversify Your Style

Your home environment should be an adequate representation of your personality. As humans, we’re continuously growing and evolving, which often causes us to question our identities. Why stick with one design style when you can combine various stand-alone items that also meld perfectly together? Windsor Smith’s Arteriors collection does exactly that.

A Velvet Touch

No matter what anyone says, velvet will be a timeless piece. So if you’re considering making a big purchase, like of those two matching deep mauve arm chairs, then you’re not going to regret it. If you’re too fearful to take the plunge, then start small. Pick up a few pillows and throws in the texture and color that you plan on integrating into your foyer or den, and sleep on it. If you’re still in love, then swap these pillows to the bedroom and invest in a big statement item that we promise you, you’ll still have in 10 years from now!
