Colors of Fall

Autumn is decidedly  upon us. The air is crisp and fall’s colors are dazzling in the height of their glory. Why not incorporate some of those colors into your home or wardrobe this season with color palettes inspired by the rich autumnal pigments around us?

1. Fall Leaves

Nothing is more emblematic of fall than its foliage. Warm yellows, oranges, and reds contrast with the hint of winter cold beginning to invade. Pick up on those dazzling yellows with a Dark Gold Yellow Dernier Interlock.  If you're looking for a more luxurious feel, try this Charmeuse Satin in Light Orange or this TaffetaLining Fabric in Cranberry. Or you can always cozy up on those cool autumn evenings with a Sherpa Fleece like this one in Brown.


2. Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkins enjoy the shine of the spotlight every year during the build up to Halloween.  From the iconic bright orange to various shades of green, and even white, pumpkins are seen adding pops of color to front stoops across the country. For an iconic orange, try this cozy Anti-Pill Polar Sweater Fleece. This Green Upholstery Fabric gets an upgrade with a Diamond Pin Tuck Embroidery. Meanwhile, this Silver Charmeuse looks truly metallic thanks to its satin shine. Lastly, brown doesn’t have to be boring, case-in-point being this Dark Brown Upholstery Fabric with Gold Yellow Ivy Flower Embroidery.



3. Park Bench

What’s fall if not sitting on a bench in your favorite park, sipping a hot coffee? Capture the ambiance of that experience with warm colors such as this Taffeta in Dark Burgundy Red or a Velveteen in Burnt Orange. Let this mocha colored Honey Comb Pique Fabric revive the memory of a warm cappuccino nestled in your palms, while this Upholstery Fabric with a Geometrical Small Diamond Print in Brown, Taupe, and Light Green recalls the cool touch of metal benches and cobblestones.

4. Grapes

Fall is the season of harvesting crops and most nations and/or religions have holidays celebrating that year’s harvest. One of the most iconic fall harvests is the grape, spawning wine festivals across the various wine regions of Europe. Channel your inner wino with deep purples like this Charmeuse Satin in Dark Purple and dark pinks like this Dernier Interlock in Bright Burgundy Red. Or, channel instead the bright greens and rich browns of grape vines with fabrics like this Jersey in Bright Green or this lush Velveteen in Light Brown.
