Trends have a funny way of moving like the wind — one season it's all soft and hushed, the next it's rich and dramatic, and somehow both feel exactly right at the time. If you caught our last couple of posts, you know we've been leaning into soft sage, cream, and neutral tones this year. Well, the wind's shifting again — and this time, it's blowing in a deeper, richer direction.
Jewel tones are having a moment This year's fall palette is embracing deep, saturated color — burgundy, plum, mustard, oxblood — in place of (or alongside) the softer neutrals we've talked about. It's a moodier, more intimate feeling, the kind that makes a room feel a little more like a hug. If soft and neutral has been your thing this year, that's still every bit as beautiful — but if you've been eyeing something with a little more depth, this is your sign that it's very much in season too.
Alongside the bolder color, there's a real move toward pieces that feel gathered over time rather than picked from a single matching set. Mixed textures, a few varied finishes, nothing too perfectly coordinated — it's what gives a space that lived-in, layered warmth instead of a showroom feel.
A centerpiece that leans all the way in If you want one piece that captures this shift, a centerpiece is a great place to start — it's often the visual anchor of a room, so it can carry a bolder palette without needing anything else to change. Our Persimmon Grove is built for exactly this moment: deep burgundy tones set against sage and ivory foliage, nestled into a hand-carved wooden bowl. It's rich without feeling heavy, and — like a lot of our pieces — it's equally at home well past fall, right into the holidays.
However your taste is leaning this year — soft and quiet, or rich and bold — there's a place for it right now. Trends may shift like the wind, but the nice thing about decorating for yourself is you get to keep whatever direction feels most like you.
