Beige, brown, terracotta, and ochre are colors that evoke nature and convey a sense of calm and serenity. Use them for walls, furniture, or textiles like curtains and blankets.

Accent Colors to Add Energy



Add a touch of vibrancy with accents of burgundy, olive green, or mustard yellow. These colors can be used for cushions, rugs, or decorative accessories, creating contrast without overwhelming the space.

Materials that Enhance the Colors



Choose soft and cozy fabrics like velvet, wool, and cotton. These materials not only improve comfort but also enhance warm colors, making the environment even cozier.

Lighting to Highlight Colors



Use warm lights to emphasize the warm tones in your palette. Lamps with golden or amber hues can enhance the sense of intimacy and warmth.

Paint one wall in a warm color to create a focal point or use artwork and prints with autumnal tones. Details make all the difference.
