Moody Color + Textures | Autumnal Decor Inspiration

Truth be told, I was never a huge decor person until maybe a year or two ago. My dorm room as a college freshman had a dry erase calendar and a gigantic beaded lime lizard above my bed – fin. It was a combination of not caring, and the known fact that I was only in this dorm for a short period of time. Decorating my room just seemed like an inconvenience – I was happy with the bare walls of a room that truly wasn't mine at all. 

Seven years into the future, I've come to appreciate the purpose of creating beauty in a living space – it's a reminder of order. A beautiful room, or even just a beautiful corner of a room, is so soothing. 

Like so many, I love fall. I've never officially decorated for this season before, so it's a first. I'm honestly not a fan of the orange and brown hues we see so much at this time of year, so I decided to pick up from shades which I love while still maintaining an autumnal color story. 

We're only just getting into fall, so what I have at the moment are items for my dining table. I played around with plums, red-orange, dusty mauve and gold. I love how they look against the wood of the table. I think they colors are true to fall despite not being traditional colors. In a way, this palette was inspired by what we tend to see in vampy fall makeup. 

The cats seem to really like the pears, so I had to temporarily remove them from the table. :( Are you guys decorating for fall yet?
