When it comes to the fall season and words like ‘warm’ and ‘cozy’, we automatically think of color schemes with deep, rich colors. It’s true, those color schemes are wonderful for capturing the fall spirit, but they aren’t the only way to capture it nor are they a necessity for it. A bright, neutral palette can be just as cozy. It can also be full of charm and fall character.
Things like soft textiles, rustic elements, and fall staples will help bring the season to life in your home. White pumpkins, for example, are just as charming as orange ones. You can do an entirely monochromatic white and grey space (as you’ll see from many of the rooms in this post) and still create a cozy vibe if you bring in the right elements. Of course, you can also go with a pop of color like a few orange pumpkins and a mustard throw if you want, but your main color scheme can still be neutral.
Here are 10 beautiful examples of neutral fall decorating to give you some inspiring ideas.

The fall season is a time of cozying up to the fireplace, digging out the warm knitted sweaters and blankets, and watching as the outdoors turn to golds, reds and browns. I like to incorporate fall elements into my home when the season comes around. It’s nice to have that reminder of it and be able to enjoy it not only when I’m outdoors, but when I’m indoors, as well.
The bedroom is a place where that warm, cozy vibe is especially great to have all year-round. There are some easy ways to incorporate the feeling of fall into your bedroom, whether you want to capture it all 365 days or if you just want to give it a makeover for the duration of the season. Here are 10 fall bedroom ideas to inspire you.
Big fall leaves serve as easy DIY wall art to hang over the bed. An orange throw and a patterned pillow compliment the color in the leaves and pulls together the temporary fall vibe.
A few branches of burnt red leaves are a nice touch on the end table, while the comforter brings in a cheerful version of the fall palette.
Just a few pillows incorporating the fall color scheme are enough to give this bedroom nook the fall treatment.
This bedroom is a nice compromise between cool and warm tones, balancing them both well to create a fall look that isn’t too heavy.
Dark wood tones naturally have a very fall-like appeal about them. Pair that with orange for a look that is rich and sophisticated.
White bedding is perfect for someone who likes to change the look of the bedroom to suit the seasons. Here, just the addition of an orange comforter and an eye-catching pillow bring in a touch of fall.
Quilts are a popular staple for fall, so adding one to your bedding can give it that homespun touch so many love about the season.
A deep red paired with an olive green and neutrals can bring a look of sophistication and warmth to a bedroom suite.
These weathered windows make for a unique and charming headboard that speaks to the character of fall.
A yarn blanket on the bed suits the fall/winter season perfectly, calling to mind nights with hot cocoa and cookies.
Accomplishing a fall bedroom makeover is easy; just look for inspiration in nature and focus on capturing the warmth the season is known for.
