Fall is the favorite season among adults in the U.S., according to a survey<\/a> by Morning Consult. In fact, 41% of respondents prefer fall, compared to 24% each identifying spring and summer as their season of choice, and only 11% claim winter as their favorite time of the year. And it\u2019s easy to see why: the end of unbearably hot weather and insects, the MLB playoffs (Let\u2019s Go Yankees!), the NFL regular season (Let\u2019s Go Cowboys!), kids go back to school, and TV networks air new episodes of popular shows. Fall is also a changing of the guard, evidenced by beautiful fall foliage, sweaters and boots, throw blankets, and toasty fires.<\/p>\n Houzz just released its 2025 Fall Design Trends Report provides insight regarding the home trends that can help you incorporate fall in your home. \u201cFrom cozy textures and seamless features to bold personality and showstopping stone, the season\u2019s top trends reflect homeowners\u2019 desire for spaces that feel warm, one-of-a-kind and effortlessly sophisticated,\u201d says Mitchell Parker, Houzz home design expert. Since Houzz is a community of over 70 million homeowners and design enthusiasts, along with more than 3 million residential construction and design professionals, I always pay attention when one of their design trends reports is released. <\/p>\n Below are five key fall trends from the report, along with commentary from Parker, and tips from several top designers on how to get the perfect fall look. <\/p>\n Fall Design Trend 1: Bold Color, Personality, And Individuality <\/p>\n Photo courtesy of Houzz<\/p>\n Credit: Nicole Forina Home; Photograph: Andrew Frasz<\/p>\n According to Parker, Houzz design and construction pros agree bold choices are popular among homeowners. \u201cJewel tones, statement ceilings, wallpaper, painted doors, and playful patterns are some of the ways that homeowners are making individual statements,\u201d he explains. Parker notes that this is a shift from resale-driven decisions \u2013 for example, experts recommend that you avoid these paint colors when selling your home<\/a>. <\/p>\n Instead, Parker believes that homeowners are embracing deeply-personal designs, and choosing, vivid, expressive details to make their homes feel unique.<\/p>\n Katie Cunningham, principal designer at Light and Dwell<\/a>, tells me that her firm is seeing a major shift away from safe, neutral interiors and toward spaces that feel deeply personal. \u201cBold color is not about being loud for the sake of it, but about creating a mood that reflects the homeowner, and whether it\u2019s a saturated green on kitchen cabinetry, a jewel-toned velvet sofa, or a painted ceiling, color is being used as a storytelling tool.\u201d In fact, Cunningham says her team will often paint contrast trim, lacquer entire rooms \u2013 including the ceiling \u2013 in rich hues, and also layer rich patterned fabrics on complementary rich colored walls and wallpaper. <\/p>\n Neutrals are on the back burner, according to Kristen Wolff, principal of interior design at Brandon Architects<\/a>. This fall, she says homeowners are embracing bold colors with confidence. \u201cPeople lean into palettes that feel more personal, and shades like emerald, plum, ochre, and cobalt are showing up everywhere.\u201d She notes that they\u2019re adding depth and personality to everyday spaces ranging from kitchens to bedrooms. <\/p>\n \u201cInstead of following trends, homeowners are pulling inspiration from places and moments that matter most, like a favorite trip, a piece of artwork, or colors that make them feel happy and excited.\u201d And Wolff says bold color goes beyond design: it also makes a home feel like a true reflection of the people who live there. <\/p>\n Fall Design Trend 2: Layered Textures<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of Houzz<\/p>\n Designer: AHD&CO; Photographer: Mike Van Tassell<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re also noticing that layered textures, including boucle, grasscloth, zillige tile, plaster, fluting, and handcrafted details, are quite popular,\u201d Parker reveals. In fact, he says texture is the new neutral. \u201cLayered textures can add three things: warmth, depth and subtle dimension, allowing homeowners to create, rich, lived-in, inviting spaces with personality. <\/p>\n Cunningham, agrees, noting that texture gives a room both depth and a sense of comfort. \u201cI love mixing rough with refined\u2014like nubby linens against smooth plaster walls, or a carved wood sideboard paired with a high-gloss lacquer lamp.\u201d And during the fall season, she says layering textures can makes a space visually rich and tactile.<\/p>\n Fall Design Trend 3: Statement Countertops And Backsplashes<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of Houzz<\/p>\n Construction: M&J Star Construction; Photographer: Reza Lotf Photography; Designer Samia Verbist Interior Designer<\/p>\n Houzz has already identified several bathroom design trends you\u2019ll want to incorporate<\/a>. However, Parker says that countertops and backsplashes are also trending in the kitchen this fall as well. \u201cStatement countertops and backsplashes are becoming the centerpiece of kitchens, with quartzite and dramatic-veined stone in high demand,\u201d he explains. For example, one-of-a-kind slabs that feel like art are popular, as well as zellige and other handcrafted options. <\/p>\n That\u2019s no surprise to Cunningham, who says she loves when a kitchen can balance beauty with function, such as a brass backsplash, or copper countertops in a party barn for a client who loves to entertain. \u201cPlaying with contrast, like pairing dark and light marbles, creates spaces that are bold and unexpected, but never trendy.\u201d And the beauty of these choices is that they make the kitchen feel personal and fun. \u201cBold veining in marble or a handmade tile backsplash instantly becomes the jewelry of the room, and these statement moments elevate even the simplest kitchens, adding luxury, character, and a strong sense of individuality,\u201d Cunningham explains.<\/p>\n Fall Design Trend 4: Wallpaper Re-Revival<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of Houzz<\/p>\n Design\/Build: Copper Sky Design + Remodel; Photographer: Anastasia Alkema<\/p>\n Wallpaper has been popular, then outdated, then popular, and outdated again. However, Parker says it\u2019s had several revivals in recent years, and right now, it\u2019s booming again. \u201cAnd not just on walls \u2014 it\u2019s also showing up frequently on ceilings, along with other design treatments like bold paint, beams, and coffers to add character and highlight architectural details,\u201d her says.<\/p>\n For Cunningham, wallpaper never went away, and she\u2019s glad to see it wrap entire rooms, including ceilings. \u201cWhat\u2019s exciting is the range: grasscloths for organic warmth, bold florals for drama, and graphic stripes for a modern twist.\u201d She points to wallpaper as one of the quickest ways to make a room feel designed. \u201cWe especially love matching wallpaper to upholstered bed fabrics or matching drapery to creating a matchy-matchy vibe that\u2019s both trendy and timeless.\u201d <\/p>\n Fall Design Trend 5: Integrated, Seamless, And Hidden Features<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of Houzz<\/p>\n Designer: Kindred Interior Studios: Photographer: Dustin Peck Photography<\/p>\n Sometimes, great design is about what you don\u2019t see. Parker says design is getting smarter and more discreet. \u201cHidden appliances, pop-up TVs, integrated lighting, panel-ready cabinetry, hydraulic lift storage, and concealed hoods are growing in popularity as they streamline kitchens and provide a clutter-free experience.\u201d Parker also notes that in open-plan homes in particular, smart and discreet innovations can create a sleek and modern look. <\/p>\n And as much as homeowners are leaning toward personality, Cunningham agrees there is also a trend toward concealment. \u201cHidden appliances, panel-ready cabinetry, and flush doors keep spaces streamlined, and this balance between bold expression and subtle integration is what makes today\u2019s design feel so dynamic\u2014 it\u2019s about choosing where you want to make a statement and where you want to be calm,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n Embracing The Fall Colors And Textures<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of<\/p>\n Drew Michael Scott<\/p>\n So, from a design perspective, how can you incorporate the fall season in your home? Drew Michael Scott of Lone Fox<\/a> tells me that his home is fall-ready at any given moment. \u201cSince it\u2019s already filled with earth tones, transitioning into autumn is pretty seamless for me.\u201d However, he has some tips for those who don\u2019t already have an abundance of warm neutrals at home. <\/p>\n Photo courtesy of<\/p>\n Drew Michael Scott<\/p>\n \u201cFirst, remove any throw pillows, blankets, or small accessories that don\u2019t fit an autumnal palette – you\u2019re not tossing them out, just setting them aside for a few months,\u201d Scott explains. This will give you a blank slate, so you can start layering in seasonal pieces. \u201cThink tan, rust, mustard, deep reds, browns, and creams, basically any color you\u2019d see outside during the \u201c-ber\u201d months,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of<\/p>\n Drew Michael Scott<\/p>\n Scott recommends throw pillows and blankets as the easiest swaps, but says you can also bring in these tones through more unexpected details like taper candles, pottery, art, foliage, or even bedding. \u201cAnd beyond color, focus on cozy fall-friendly textiles, chunky knits, plaid, jute, velvet, and leather, which all help create that warm, inviting autumn vibe.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Miami-based designer Ania Ag\u00e1rdy<\/a>, you don\u2019t have to limit your color palette to the typical orange and mustard colors. \u201cWarm neutrals like camel, soft beige, and brown with pops of deep greens like olive and sage feel just as earthy, but more effortless and elegant.\u201d<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of<\/p>\n TKS Design Group; Photo by Sarah Merryweather Photography<\/p>\n She also gravitates toward textiles like cozy knit throws, d\u00e9cor accents like pinecones or dried floral arrangements, and warm lighting, which helps to create a fall atmosphere. \u201cTablescaping is also one of my absolute favorites since this is the time of the year when we tend to entertain at home more often,\u201d Ag\u00e1rdy explains. She recommends textiles like table runners and napkins in a fall nature-inspired color palette, along with dinnerware layered with warm-toned chargers in autumnal shades, which always make an impact. \u201cAll these decorative options bring in seasonal charm without needing a full redesign.\u201d <\/p>\n Photo courtesy of<\/p>\n TKS Design Group; Photo by Michael A Kaskel<\/p>\n Susan Klimala is principal designer and owner of TKS Design Group<\/a>. She recommends taking your cues from autumn leaves. \u201cRust, tobacco, ochre, and sage are your friends when it comes to seasonal color palettes, as these tones have a way of warming up a room without overpowering it.\u201d<\/p>\n Also, she says these colors work well with the shifting light this time of year, so the room is soft and golden in the afternoon, and diffuse blue in the morning. \u201cEven in rooms with limited natural light, these shades reflect just enough warmth to keep the space from feeling flat.\u201d<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of<\/p>\n TKS Design Group; Photo by Margaret Rajic<\/p>\n However, Klimala says the key is to add colors without making things feel overly styled. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to redecorate, just rotate a few accents \u2013 for example, fold a rust-colored throw at the foot of the bed, or add a ceramic vase in sage or deep plum to your entry table.\u201d Even if you added taper candles in a muted tone, she says it can shift the whole energy of a room.<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of<\/p>\n TKS Design Group; Photo by Margaret Rajic<\/p>\n So, instead of trying to change out everything, Klimala recommends that you stick to one or two changes at a time, and then pause, and see how you feel. \u201cRemember, you\u2019re not trying to theme the space, but rather give it a seasonal tilt \u2014 the color is there to support the mood, not dominate it.\u201d<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of<\/p>\n TKS Design Group; Photo by Margaret Rajic<\/p>\n Check out all of the fall interior design trends in the 2025 U.S. Houzz Fall Design Trends Report here<\/a>.<\/p>\n These are some of the items that can help you bring fall colors and textures into your home.<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of<\/p>\n Steelcase<\/p>\n Add color and texture with the Steelcase Frank Lloyd Wright Rockford Ottoman<\/a>.
