Every fall, there are a few home decor trends you can expect to see come out of hibernation. From pumpkins on stoops to signs that say “grateful,” the autumnal aesthetic is pretty varied; and sometimes, it can be hard to tell which fall home decor trends are actually nice and which are tacky.
To find out which home decor trends are projected to rise in popularity this fall, we spoke with two interior designers: Wendy Glaister, CEO, founder and Principal Designer at Wendy Glaister Interiors, and Eric Goranson, an interior designer, Certified Kitchen Designer and the host of the national radio show and podcast Around the House Show.

Both designers shared a few home decor trends they’re expecting (and hoping!) to see inside and outside of homes this autumn, as well as a handful of fall decor trends they’re totally sick of.
“I’m really excited for a subtle, beautiful, timeless fall season full of friends, family and fun,” Glaister tells Parade. Overall, she’s hoping to see “lots of tastefulness, none of the tacky.”

Interior Designers Say These 7 Home Decor Trends Will Be Everywhere This Fall
This fall, you can expect to see these home decor trends everywhere, in no particular order.
1. Botanical patterns

This fall, you can expect to see lots of fabrics, upholstery and art with autumnal botanical patterns, according to Glaister.
“It’s all turning up trees, leaves and roses and I’m here for it,” she says. “I love the way a botanical influence adds whimsy and color to a room. Paired with the earthy neutral palette that’s so popular now: deep greens, rusty red and burgundy and warm golds make it the perfect compliment for a cozy fall story.”
2. Chocolate brown

“Chocolate brown is back, and I’m genuinely glad,” Goranson tells Parade. “We spent a good decade drowning in white kitchens and greige-on-greige, and it got sterile. Now brown’s showing up in paint, throw pillows, rugs, accent walls—actual color again.”
Goranson also notes that chocolate brown is a “forgiving” color when it comes to stains and wear.
3. Dark wicker and cane

“Nothing brings the textured warmth and interest to a room as wicker and cane,” says Glaister. “A couple of years ago, we saw these materials in blonde and lighter colors. Now it’s more of a deep caramel and coffee. Combined with the colors found in neutral botanicals, rooms instantly become more alluring.”
4. Layered lighting

For fall, Goranson foresees homeowners “finally fixing their lighting.”
“One overhead fixture doing all the work in a room is fine in July when the sun’s up till nine,” he explains. However, once the sun starts setting earlier in the fall, “it’s brutal,” says Goranson.
“I’m seeing a lot more table lamps, sconces and dimmers going in this time of year—the difference between a house that feels cozy at 6:00 p.m. and one that feels like a DMV waiting room.”
Glaister agrees, noting that mini rechargeable lamps are growing in popularity and becoming available in more styles and shapes. Whether they’re made of glass, stone or gold metal, she thinks “the combinations of colors and materials are really fun.” She adds that she likes to stick these lamps in nooks like bookcases and countertops “for a happy little evening glow without the fuss of cords and outlets.”

5. Monograms

“The whole season makes its mark because of special traditions,” explains Glaister. “It’s back to the overall classic aesthetic that’s so wonderfully embraced right now.”
And one way to do that is with “beautifully monogrammed cocktail napkins, hand towels, pillows and stationary items, which can “bring a sense of quiet sophistication to any room.” Glaister loves these for the dining table or guest bathroom.
6. Real dried florals

To decorate for fall, many people buy foam and plastic faux florals at big box stores—but Goranson prefers “actual branches, real pumpkins arranged with some thought [and] dried arrangements that hold up all season.” He notes that not only do real florals often cost about the same as the fake stuff, but real botanicals actually look “like an adult did it.”
7. The Greek key pattern

Glaister loves the “classic design motif” of the Greek key for fall.
It makes a statement, “whether carved into the back of a dining chair, sewn onto the lead edge of drapery or etched around the outside of a wine glass,” says Glaister. “It never really goes out of style and that’s a lovely thing.”

Interior Designers Are Sick of These 4 Fall Home Decor Trends
Glaister and Goranson are hoping less people will embrace these four trends this fall.
1. Heavy fragrance

“Sicky sweet fall fragrances are not at all in vogue and I am so grateful for that,” says Glaister. “It’s tough to walk into a home and feel as though you’ve walked into a Hallmark store. The sense-slapping strong scents of old have been replaced by subtle, more sophisticated notes of amber, bourbon and light pine.”
Goranson agrees, singling out artificial pumpkin spice scents.
“Candle, diffuser, plug-in, all going at once, in basically every house you walk into come October,” he says. “One’s festive. Six of them running and your living room smells like a Starbucks that just reopened after a fire. Plus, how heathy are the chemicals you now have floating around your home?”
2. Tacky fall decorations

Glaister is against “kitschy” decor featuring fall motifs like turkeys, jack-o’-lanterns and candy corn.
Instead, she prefers “botanicals in natural, neutral colors,” which are “more widely available and at multiple price points … nearly anyone can enjoy them and because they’re not an overtly fall theme, they can be used and appreciated all year long.”
3. Too much orange

Goranson has observed that every fall, a lot of homeowners decorate their homes with endless items in the same shade of rust-orange.
“At some point it stops being a fall refresh and starts looking like Spirit Halloween set up shop in your entryway for six weeks,” he jokes. “There’s a whole palette available now: plum, mustard, deep green. Use it.”
4. Signs with fall quotes

“While I am thankful, grateful and blessed, I don’t want to see a sign over my door proclaiming that to the world,” jokes Glaister. “If you can’t get that sense from me by my actions and deeds, no sign will make you believe it.”
