This week, to my delight, I was contacted by the web editor of Canada's Style At Home magazine.
The editors at Style At Home Magazine have identified 3 top trends for fall in home decor and they have invited me to share them with you all.
You don't have to ask me twice to talk about home decor!
If you have never read Canada's Style At Home magazine, you really should try it out!
It is my favorite home decor magazine and I have been reading it for years.
And just so you know, I received no financial compensation for writing this post...it's all in fun!
All images are from Style At Home.
1. Wood. The first trend for fall that the editors at Style At Home magazine have chosen is wood.
Wood adds wonderful warmth & texture to any space.
Here are a couple of suggestions for adding wood to your rooms:
You may have a wood dining table in your dining area already. Now is the perfect time to clean it off and it let it shine with a palette of white dishes & fresh flowers as shown here.
A wood table or sofa table is another item you may already own. You can add some great personality to a room with a fresh a new tablescape that compliments the wood.
A wood tray is another item that would be lovely to display for fall.
I have seen lots of interesting wood pieces at Homesense recently.
And yard sales and secondhand stores are also good sources for wood accessories, which were popular in the 70's.
I know my mother still has some wood serving dishes from the 70's tucked away in her kitchen.
Wood vases are great to showcase as well.
And wood salad bowls are an eternal favourite. Lots of us have these in our homes already.
A wood salad bowl filled with apples is a great look at this time of year.

2. The New Neutrals. The Style At Home team has shared another trend for fall...the new neutrals.
To see the colours and brands that this team of experts has chosen, go here.
If you are thinking of painting a room this fall, one of these colours may just the touch of current that you are looking for.
{I like that these colours are not dark colours.}
How about warm taupes?
Or soft sage:
Or velvety lilacs?
3. Modern Global. The last trend for fall is a look called modern global and is described as a fresh take on African style. You can learn more about this look by reading this article at Style at Home.
I love this look:
The simplest way to add a bit of Modern Global to a home is with wallpaper.
The current trend in wallpapers are patterns that are 2 tone and graphic, as compared to the multi-coloured patterns of years past.
You can also achieve this look with a stencil and white paint at a fraction of the cost.
{Have you seen the new Martha Stewart stencil line at Micheal's?}
Another super easy update for a smidge of Modern Global is adding a few new pillows which are also graphic in nature.
Pillows are one of the easiest updates to make in a space.
So there you have it.... some new information & eye candy on 3 top design trends for fall from the Editors of Style At Home Magazine.
Which of these 3 trends did you like and which do you think you may try in your home?
I am dying to try a graphic stencil on a wall in my home somewhere...maybe the wall behind the piano..or a closet.
Thanks so much for reading!
