As the days get shorter and temperatures begin to cool, look to cozy autumn colors, organic textures, and natural interior design elements among this year’s fall textile trends.

Fall Into Nature

We know how significant it is to be able to cozy up with the ones you love and spend time together after a couple years of feeling unable to do so. With people gathering again your home is taking on a new meaning, and it is more important than ever to create a space perfect for making those moments together special.

The textile trends for fall 2022 are all about introducing tranquility, serenity, and comfort into your space through a simple return to nature-inspired colors, textures, and decor for you and your friends and family to enjoy.

Cozy Autumn Colors

Cooler months are coming, and there’s no better way to bring warmth into your home than with a color palette of soft neutrals, earth tones, and a collection of shades straight from nature.

Warm beiges, browns, creams, and greens are on the rise and have a calming, comforting effect and compliment the use of other natural materials and interior design elements such as wood tones and greenery.

Terracottas and rusts, as well as rich, dark wood tones, are also increasing in popularity as part of warmer colorways appearing frequently in cabinetry, flooring, and furniture pieces alike.

Modernized, or “muddy,” primary colors — such as rich, darker reds and light, muted blues — maintain a natural look while reflecting the season’s changing light through deep, shadowy undertones. These muddied colors create a warm, intimate space that encapsulates the relaxed and inviting feelings of fall.

Organic Textures

Furniture pieces with timeless, classic fabrics often make a return during the fall season to help add softness and an earthy texture to your space.

Typically made of cotton, bouclé is the perfect mix of cozy and durable. The fabric is incredibly resistant to stains, can be cleaned quickly by using a water-free solvent, and is resilient against everyday wear. Its “nubby,” textured appearance is highly tactile and adds a plush, modern visual interest to any room. 

Another popular textile — often confused with bouclé — is shearling. Frequently referred to as “teddy bear material,” the fabric is softer and less textured than the nubby bouclé, and can be easily cleaned through gentle spot treatment with detergent and a damp cloth or sponge.

When paired with natural materials such as wood tones and metal, furniture pieces with these fabrics become elevated. Bouclé and shearling contrast heavily with these natural materials, so combining the two adds beautiful depth and dimension to the fabrics.

Corduroy is making a comeback, and not just in fashion. It's taking on a different iteration, though, in interior design. With upholstery channeling — when fabrics feature equally-spaced, vertical or horizontal channels for a plush visual effect — growing in popularity, corduroy lends itself well to a fall-inspired design. Its soft structure and channeled texture make it a compelling choice for use on sofas, chairs, even throw pillows.

Other natural fabrics — such as linen, velvet, hides, wool, and wood — can be used in your home to establish an organic, understated connection to nature.

Natural Elements

Creating a natural look for your home doesn’t have to be drastic or focused around furniture pieces. Adding even the simplest of home decor and accessories can bring natural materials into your space and create an instant upgrade.

Biophilic design — meaning the use of plants, natural lighting, and airy spaces to establish a visual connection to nature — is easy to accomplish by bringing in botanicals to brighten up any room, especially when using faux greenery. 

Even if you don’t have a green thumb, incorporating faux florals and branches into your space is a simple way to cultivate a strong visual connection to nature in your home, and using faux greenery in shades like burgundy or terracotta in the fall can imitate the season’s natural changing colors.

Using natural fabrics and textures in your home accents can serve as another quick-and-easy update; think jute rugs, cane baskets, woven throw blankets, and rattan accent tables.

BONUS! — Look for furniture and other interior design elements that have organic, amorphous shapes rather than sharp, straight lines to curate a bit of natural softness.

Pronounced Patterns

Using all of these warm neutrals to incorporate nature into your space doesn’t have to be boring, even if you are someone who loves a punch of color and pattern.

Floral patterns found on wallpaper and rugs create an unmissable, vivid connection to the more eye-catching elements found in nature while allowing you to bring color into your space.

Home and Hearth

Summer may be “time off” for the kids, but it can be a wild and chaotic season for parents. That’s why creating a space full of comfort and care where you can decompress after those busy summer months is more important than ever. 

As you and the ones you love begin to gather together while colder weather keeps you indoors, your space should elicit happiness and become a sanctuary for you and your family to retreat to at the end of the day before the hustle of the holiday season.

In showcasing a collection of nature-inspired colors, textures, and decor, we hope making some simple swaps with these stunning fall textile favorites will ensure you and your loved ones make the upcoming special gathering season nothing short of spectacular.
