5 Warm Autumn Color Palettes: This one’s for anyone who hates orange

It’s that time of year again. We’re all getting ready for the arrival of fall and we want to make sure that we do it in style. But how can you transition into this season without using orange if that’s not a color you like? There are lots of other color palettes to choose from.

In this blog post, I’m going to share 5 different palettes that will work well in your home decor during the fall months!

You can achieve each of these color palettes without spending a fortune. You just need a few accessories like pillows, a throw blanket, and a few candles or candle sticks and some books. If you have relatively neutral furniture, it’s easy to add seasonal colors, even if you change your mind every year.

1. Warm neutrals with hints of green and brown

This is a classic. Warm neutrals are always an easy choice. The green and brown give it just enough color to bring in the cozy feeling of autumn. I like using warm neutrals in my own house year-round because they’re not only easy on the eyes but also have an inviting vibe that sets up my living room for entertaining guests.

2. Warm pink-based colors with a hint of blue for a feminine touch

I love this palette because it’s so feminine. Warm pink-based colors are soft but if you live with a man, sometimes adding a touch of blue is a good compromise so it’s not too girly. The blue adds just enough variation to keep things interesting without being too much for your home decor in general.

3. Cool blues and greens to evoke the feeling of crispness in the air

I like using cool colors in my home to keep the feeling of crispness. Warm neutrals are great for this, but blue and green have a really cool effect on your eyes when they’re used together – it sorta feels like you’re not at home so much as outside! It only takes a few accessories to get the color palette to work, as long as it works with your everyday furniture. Warm neutrals make me feel cozy, but cool colors can be a great way to bring in the “chill” feeling of fall.

4. Warm purples to celebrate the harvest season

I love using warm purples during the fall because it’s a great way to celebrate the harvest season. Warm neutrals mixed with purple gives off an autumn feel without being too bright or dark, so you can use this palette throughout your home and have a different vibe in each room! In my mind I see artichokes.

5. Warm yellows for those who want something more cheerful than browns or grays this time around

This is a great palette for those who want something cheerier than browns or grays this time around. I’m not a huge fan of YELLOW, but I like a soft buttery yellow during the fall because it’s not too bright or dark. Butter yellow has that autumn feel without being so obvious about it.

I hope these color palettes will give you some ideas for decorating for fall without orange. Do you have a favorite fall color scheme that’s not the norm? You can see my fall mantel here (it’s pink and blue).

Fall is a time of year when people are looking to welcome the crisp air and changing leaves with warmth and comfort.
