Pre-Fall Palettes- Colors That Ease You into Autumn
Autumn is here! This is one of my favorite seasons, the changing of the leaves, the crisp, cool air, and moving towards the fall equinox. It’s all very sensory. I was just at the supermarket, and I caught a whiff of cinnamon pine cones, so heavenly! I had to run back and buy them. Now my home smells of that autumn flavor, the one where you want to make warm drinks with a touch of spice to energize the body.
Autumn is a metaphorical season, too. It’s a time to edit your life, much like trees shed leaves to conserve energy. It’s the perfect moment for decluttering, re-arranging furniture, and setting fresh intentions for the last quarter of the year.
Think of your home as a sanctuary where you can process the transition — spaces for journaling, cozy nooks for reading, warm lighting for gathering with loved ones. We can add some sensory touches just to get us into that Fall spirit. Here are some sensory invitations.
Autumn can awaken all five senses:
Sight: The fiery color palette of leaves, the golden hour glow, candlelit evenings.
Smell: Crisp morning air, spiced cider, fireplaces lit.
Touch: Cozy textures: wool blankets, suede pillows, the first sweater of the season, plus cute boots come out of the closet!
Taste: Pumpkin, squash, apples, cinnamon: flavors that nourish and ground.
Sound: Crunching leaves underfoot, wind rustling through trees, crackling fires.
