I must confess, October has to be my favorite month of the year. The light is starting to change, the weather is cooler (in L.A. maybe not so much) and I’m starting to drag out my boots and jackets. For me, fall means the holidays are right around the corner and I definitely am thinking about home more than usual. That means sprucing up the house to reflect the season.

On Madison is profiling Fall 2015 design trends with the idea that even a touch of this or a little hit of that can put your space in Fall state of mind.

Color – think spice market and you’ll get the idea. Turmeric, curry, cognac, indigo, eggplant and olive conjure up fall warmth.   Navy and ruby bring a royal luxe to the party.

Metal, especially copper and bronze, warm even the coolest of decors.Wallpaper –   I confess to loving wallpaper, especially when it’s wallpaper as art. Porter Teleo gets it right with their organic, abstract papers that make a Statement.

Geometrics mixed with organics – geometrics bring the high watt energy. Try mixing these with organic elements and the geometrics take on a more refined direction. See how the Rose abstract rug by Calligaris pops with a modern organic wood dining table and stark white fabric covered chairs. Graphic prints – instantly update your space with a punch of graphic style.Electric hues mixed with black – chartreuse and black, fushcia and black, turquoise and black. Electric hues take on maximum sophistication when paired with black. Alexander Wang, Spring 2015. Ceramics – ceramics bring the made-by-man element to even the most modern of spaces. These beautiful pieces were created by Ben Medansky for Kelly Wearstler. Black, white and metal – I don’t think I will ever grow tired of black, white and brass. This is simply a divine look.
