As the evenings grow cooler and the home once again becomes the warm center of our lives, something inside changes too. Fall brings with it not only falling leaves but also a new language of fabrics, textures, and colors that make the home feel cozier.
The fall season has officially begun, and with it comes a refreshing breeze for home design. The days grow shorter, the evenings colder, and the home once again turns into the warm, embracing center of our lives. It’s the perfect opportunity to refresh our spaces, and the easiest and most effective way to do it is through textiles: Bedding, curtains, cushions, and rugs.
Fabric isn’t just a functional element — it’s a full language that gives depth, color, feeling, and atmosphere. This season, texture is the key — the sense of touch becomes just as important as appearance. Ella Shlomov, textile expert and owner of the ELLA DECOR boutique, explains the leading fall trends for the home.
Layered Richness
The unifying feature of fall trends is multi-layered richness. Soft curtains, linen or organic cotton bedding, velvet or boucle cushions, and a mix of thick wool rugs — together they create a warm, enveloping, and intimate space.
The idea is not to settle for a single fabric but to combine different textures in the same room so that every corner feels full of life and warmth.
The Color Palette: From Earth to Plum
The fall color palettes range from deep earthy tones — browns, terracotta, ochre — to subtle touches of olive green, mustard, or plum. In bedding and decorative cushions, it’s best to mix warm shades with a neutral base to maintain balance and avoid visual overload.
The current trend emphasizes authenticity and a human touch. Delicate embroidery, patchwork, ethnic patterns, or prints inspired by nature and autumn leaves. Curtains with a soft, natural drape or decorative cushions with slightly “rough” finishes also add a personal character — one that feels unique and not mass-produced.
More and more homes are choosing recycled or natural textiles — organic cotton, linen, or wool sourced from environmentally conscious production. This choice not only benefits the planet but also brings a sense of quality and natural breathing space into the home.
How to Apply It at Home?
Bedding — layers: A smooth sheet, a piqué blanket, a thick wool throw, and decorative cushions in varied textures.
Curtains — combine a sheer, soft fabric over a heavier one to create depth and light control.
Decorative cushions — play with different sizes, colors, and fabrics (velvet, linen, wool).
Rugs — focus on the feel: A thick, soft rug for the living room, and a lighter, flatter rug for the dining area.
Finally, this fall isn’t about a dramatic home makeover — it’s about layers. Combining different textures — linen, velvet, wool, organic cotton — creates depth and warmth you can actually feel. The color palette moves between earthy tones, olive green, and plum, with an emphasis on authenticity: Handmade embroidery, ethnic patterns, and finishes that don’t look “too perfect.” It’s not just beautiful — it feels like home.
