Even though temps are still in the 90’s and the air is sticky, I can feel the coming of fall. There is something in the air and I can definitely feel my mood changing. I’m looking forward to the season officially arriving.
In anticipation of the first day of fall I did a little web search to check out Pantone’s fall color picks. I’m excited about the colors that were selected because all most of them are great colors when it comes to decor. Of the 10 colors that made the list, there are a few that I’m particularly drawn to. Today I’m sharing what I’m loving most about the fall 2016 color trends plus I’ve rounded up some product picks to get you started on your fall decor.

AURORA RED
Red is my favorite color and even though Aurora Red is a bit more russet in tone, I’m still a big fan. It’s a color that will mixes easily with neutrals and grey and it works both as a statement color and as an accent. A mirror or accent pillows is an easy way to add this color into your mix for fall.
Aurora Red Product Picks:
The Suzani Appliqué Pillow Cover would make a great accent pillow for a sofa, chair or bed. And with the popularity of blue and white, I could see this being a great fall update in a blue and white bedroom.
The Malone Campaign Desk is a great piece for a small foyer, hallway or guest bedroom. The brass accents really jazz it up and I love the clean lines and simple details.
LUSH MEADOW
Yes I love emerald green and yes I’m excited it made the cut for fall. The Pantone version, Lush Meadow is a bit softer than a traditional emerald but it still has the life and energy that has made this shade of green so popular.
Lush Meadow Product Picks:
Garden stools continue to be a popular decor piece and this Safavieh Chinese Dragon Stool is a stylish way to add chinoiserie and emerald green into your decor for fall. #ineed
Here’s a green table lamp I know you’re going to love. The green glass (a hot style trend for fall) and the faux wood grain lampshade make this Jade Table Lamp a stunner. And you won’t believe the $139 price. #iwant
SPICY MUSTARD
If you’ve followed color trends for the last two years, you’ve seen the surge in the popularity of the color yellow. Spicy Mustard is the color Pantone has identified as a trend for fall and I love the rich and luxurious look that this color adds to decor. And If given the opportunity, I’d would definitely own a yellow sofa.
Spicy Mustard Product Picks:
I recently spotted this Bradberry Downs collection rug and think it would be an awesome rug to spice up a living room or dining room. And I love that it can work with black or wood stained furniture and both silver and gold finishes.
If you haven’t jumped on the x-bench trend, the Safavieh Palmer X Bench is a great way to do that. I love the pattern and nailhead trim and would nestle a pair under a console table or at the foot of a bed.
This Large Glass Vase caught my attention on the H and M Home site not only because of the beautiful mustard color, but also because of the $12.99 price point. #greatbuy
SHARKSKIN
Grey continues to be a hot, hot trend in decor and the focus for fall is a rich, classic shade of grey with an enticing name…Sharkskin. p.s. you’ll continue to see the popularity of grey for kitchen cabinets too!
Sharkskin Product Picks:
Grey is one of my favorite colors to decorate with in a bedroom. It’s a soothing and relaxing color with a sophisticated edge. The Asher Organic Duvet is a favorite for fall especially mixed with black and crisp white.
This classic chevron patterned throw is the perfect accessory to drape over a chair or sofa. And it would make a great gift too.
RIVERSIDE
Unlike Serenity which is a Pantone 2016 colors of the year, I am a fan of the blue they picked for fall called Riverside. I love the steely grey undertones of this color and how well it mixes with the richer colors you always see during fall.
Riverside Product Picks:
I can already envision this Unlimited Beads Blue Dinnerware set as part of a fall table setting mixed with orange and white pumpkins and lush greens. #yesplease
I’d love to get new lamps for our bedroom, and this Blue Ceramic Table Lamp would definitely be on my list of options. The matte blue base and the lattice design lampshade really make it stand out.
So friends, even though we’ve got a few more weeks to enjoy summer, I’ve got fall on my mind and ideas in my head.
How about you? Are you dreaming of fall and which of Pantone’s fall colors are your favorite. Do tell!
