The Impact of Fall Colors in Interior Decorating






I would never recommend you paint interior walls just to decorate for a season, but so many of our favorite colors come in fall anyway. You can safely paint almost any room in warm tones and it works all year round. Paint a single wall in orange or another bright fall color and leave the rest white for strong contrast.




Bold is Beautiful - Go for Orange & White!

Orange is a bold color, but look at the contrast you get when you paint just a single wall in a room in a very bold primary color and leave the rest of the room white? It is striking and, again, will work well all year. Other ‘bold’ fall colors that work well as wall paint colors include cinnamon, cranberry and burgundy.



Think contrast!

Blend or contrast colors, generally using no more than two or three colors in a room, a cranberry wall with white chair rail looks great but four cranberry walls and no trim will seem too stark.


Though, you can get away with a little color addition to greatly affect the overall look of a room. So, you can add red, yellow or orange to a room that otherwise has none of these colors, creating a central point in one area or splashing the accent color in several places throughout the room.
