Howdy Folks!  It’s August and time to start thinking about fall decorating!  I don’t plan to drag out the fall decor bins just yet (maybe in a couple of weeks) but before I do, I want to have a strategy.  In order to accomplish that, I did a little research and pulled together the most popular colors for this season.  That means, I have 6 fall color combinations for decorating in 2020.  As a bonus, I added where to find them!

Do you go out and buy what’s new or trendy for each season?  I do not.  However, I do like knowing what’s popular and sometimes, depending on how fabulous it is, I’ll get a little something to mix in with what I already have.  That’s how I stay all hip and stylish.  LOL!  Yeah, right.  Here’s what I found.

The first color combo that’s going to be popular this harvest season is the above rust and navy.  The rust can also be copper and the navy can go a little lighter.  I see these colors working with all decor styles but I think it’s more current than the distinctive pumpkin orange.  I like it!  Kirkland’s has several decor pieces in these colors if you are looking to change things up.  And check out this candle from Hobby Lobby and these adorable bottle brush trees from Target!  Sit them on a navy book or next to a blue lamp and viola!  You’ve got it going on!

This next group is on the livelier side of nature.  You’ll see a lot of olive green and bright golds or wheat colors this season.  Pottery Barn has several stunning accessories and wall art to pull this together.  Like this stoneware, this table runner and these glass pumpkins!

Here’s the typical orange we all see in fall.  But look at the soft gray greens that work well with it!  I usually don’t mix bright strong colors with softer tones but this is unique.  Give it a try!  I found this  wooden tabletop sign and this one too at Michael’s in those pretty colors.

Now this seasonal combo isn’t something you see every day!  Can you imagine this combination being in a vintage, shabby chic or romantic style home?  Target and World Market will have some pillows and other decor in these colors if you’d like to incorporate them.  So scrumptious!

When I came across this fall photo I immediately smiled.  The bright color would be so lively on those gloomy fall days.  I would love to use these colors in my home if I lived in a tropical place like Florida or California.  Although, you know my kitchen walls are that lighter blue color so… Maybe this is my combo?!  Hmmm.  The At Home Store will have plenty of accessories for this one.  If you’d like a super cute oval plaid bucket from Michael’s to create a floral arrangement inside, this is for you (us)!

Last but not least, you’ll see a lot of white and creamy white mixed with the customary fall colors.  But stores with this combination will keep it soft and muted or show it in metallic’s.  Like this gorgeous glass hurricane set from Crate and Barrel.  You could use them all the way through Christmas!  Target with Hearth and Hand, Ballard Designs and Crate and Barrel have other choices as well.   

There you go.  6 fall color combinations for decorating in 2020!  Did you find a certain combo you liked?  I did and even though it’s 100 degrees outside, the crisp air is almost here.  If only in my heart, I can feel it.  Mmmm, the cool breezy 60 degrees.  I love it.  I think that’s my optimum temperature.  The temp where my head doesn’t sweat, I’m not grumpy and I can wear cute sweaters and have a smile on my face because I’m outside doing something fall-ish.

    Lots of pretty color combos, i haven’t even thought about it but had better start or there won’t be anything left. Pinned it so i can get out and look at some pretty material for my pillows. Love to see what they have. Thanks Cindy and you have a great weekend.

      I thought so too Marlene. I will be taking the photos with me when I go shopping (if I get out). Hope you enjoy your weekend too. Thanks!

    Cindy – thanks again for all the wonderful inspirational pictures and item leads. I too am wishing/hoping for fall to get here soon. Also – your link to the tabletop sign at Michaels just goes to the general site and not the specific item. Do you have the title of that item? Would love to see. Wishing you some pumpkin spice soon!

    How on earth can I choose just one? I love every single one but I think the greens and golds are my fave! At least this year πŸ˜‰ Pinned!

    • September 9, 2022 / 12:34 pm

      I went with the greens and golds this year as well. I have some olive green curtains coming today. Fingers crossed they are the same as the photo. I’ve had to return many things because the color isn’t even close. :/ Have a great weekend.
