This Tapestry Headboard Will Make Your Home Fell Like Fall 24-7 (+ 68 Other Cozy On-Trend Fall Decor Picks)

The first official day of fall is next Monday, September 22, though still technically being summer hasn’t stopped anyone (including us here at EHD) from fast-forwarding onto the next season, at the very least from a decorating perspective. And while many consider fall decorating “heavy on the pumpkin,” I much prefer something less “seasonal” and more setting the mood for the long haul. Thankfully, Jess did much of the heavy lifting with her past the other week on the six trends to make your home cozy for fall (and beyond), and I’m here today to round it all out with some shopping with a couple of new ones from me.

Fall Trend #1: Burgundy

I’ve been riding high on burgundy for years, so color me happy now that trends dictate it be offering on all kinds of accessible products for across the home. Blankets, mirrors, lighting, serving dishes, and even wallpaper are all getting the maroon treatment, and I love it. While I love a punch of unexpected red for that wow factor, burgundy is more hushed. The less flashy person in the friend group that knows everyone’s secrets, is super smart, and has a touch of dark humor. Burgundy is the bass player of the band, while red is the lead guitarist. I’m here for it.

Digging up finds was easy, as this color is everywhere right now. Some non-committal decor would include a pretty catch-all dish from Schoolhouse (#1), some splatter enamelware serving dishes (#5), or a super affordable little vase for some fall blooms (#7). Ready to go all in? Opt for more permanent fixtures, like this well-priced sconce by Chris Loves Julia (#3), a very cool modern nightstand to break up standard wood tones in your bedroom (#9), and a sweet yet impactful wallpaper I’m kind of obsessed with (#11).

Fall Trend #2: Outlining

I feel incredibly validated seeing “outlining” as a trend Jess pulled out. Years ago, when I was designing the bedroom I revealed on this site, I planned on doing a ceiling outline after having an image I saw in a high-end magazine stuck in my head from a decade or so prior. Because we were moving shortly after my shoot, I decided to skip it, but I’ve long loved the outline detail. It’s fun to see it a bit more in the mainstream now. While most of the examples Jess showed in her fall trends post involved wall treatments, I wanted to find an actual product that spoke to the look.

You are most likely to see outlines or borders in textiles, though I stretched the limits a bit with a great sofa from Sabai with red piping (#8) and a petite chest/side table with a colored and patterned border (#7). I’m very into that citrine Pepper Home pillow (#5) with the blue fringe border, though you can customize it many different ways on their website. A scalloped border on pillow shams from Bed Threads (#1) brings two trends together, as does the rounded edges on the wool rug from Allmodern (#9). Keep it classic with bordered bedding from Williams-Sonoma, or add a cool, soft yet modern touch to your sofa with a high-quality throw (#3).

Fall Trend #3: Tapestries

Tapestries are *the* hottest trend on this whole list—perhaps I should have started with them? These oversized and often dramatic wall textiles are absolutely everywhere, especially dark, moody landscapes. You may have noticed the beautiful tapestry above Mallory’s sofa in her recent living room reveal (it’s #2 here!). That room is a testament to how well they work in not just traditional or regal settings but also modern or minimal aesthetics. Here’s a rundown of some of my current favorites:

I’ve long been fascinated by the work of Jaime Hayon, so I was thrilled to see #1, which is by the Spanish artist and designer through Lumens. Similar to Mallory’s, #4 has some cooler tones in it and is more vertical than horizontal. My picks shown at #7 and #11 are also predominantly blue, which I think are a bit more “friendly” to work into a room. If you’re after some scenic depictions of country life or Medieval art, check out #6, #10, and #12. Don’t forget that you can always use a rug as a tapestry if it’s not too thick, which is why I picked #8 from Joon Loloi by Drew Michael Scott of Lone Fox, as well as this fun little vintage number from the 1990s (#5). And for something totally different and vibrant, #9 is a patchwork Pakistan textile that would be the star of whatever wall it graces.

Fall Trend #4: Semi-Sheer Taupe Curtains

Want something more romantic and warmer than white curtains with plenty of light-filtering capabilities? Semi-sheer taupe curtains may be just the thing! From my research, it’s clear “taupe” is one of those colors that is somewhat up to interpretation, but essentially, it’s a warm dark beige-gray. You may also find it difficult to find “semi-sheer” by name, but what you’re after is a thin linen, cotton, or even an actual sheer with lining (available mostly through custom drapery retailers).

If your budget is robust, consider these gorgeous drapes from Nordic Knots (#1), or custom picks from Two Pages (#3) or Gotain (#6). Ready-to-hang options can be found at places like West Elm (#2), H&M (#4), IKEA, and even Amazon (#9) from as low as $30 for a pair of panels (#5) to around $100, give or take (#2 and #8).

1. The Sheer Linen – Hazelnut | 2. Sheer European Flax Linen Curtain in Dark Flax | 3. Joy 100% European Flax Linen Sheer Curtain Pleated | 4. 1-Pack Wide Lyocell-blend Curtain Panel in Beige | 5. SILVERLÖNN Sheer Curtains – 1 pair in Beige | 6. Sheer Linen Curtain Sand | 7. Belgian Flax Linen Unlined Curtain in Warm Gray | 8. Coffee Cloud Linen Sheer Curtains | 9. Linen Sheer Curtains – 2 Pack Khaki

Fall Trend #5: Whimsical Beds

I was a bit surprised to see this on Jess’ list, but if you know anything about me and my design leanings, you’ll know I was also delighted. Whimsy is a big factor of rooms that make my heart pitter-patter, though usually in small doses. A bed being one of the largest moments in our sleeping quarters, it’s not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure.

I rounded up a grouping of antique, vintage, and new beds and headboards, with a huge spectrum of pricing. Obviously, the most expensive ones being antique, whether from the 1890s (#7) or 1920s (#5). I’m seriously eyeing #1 because the price is so good and it would be perfect for my daughter’s next big-girl bed, and speaks to her love of all things Frozen. Though man, I’m very into that tapestry headboard from Anthropologie (#4) and the full-print upholstered bed from CB2 (#6). Another fabric option is from the collab no one asked for—The White Lotus—but the product itself is quite beautiful (#8).

1. 1990s Handpainted Scandinavian-Inspired Full Size Headboard | 2. Handmade Bone Inlay Floral Design Blue Headboard | 3. Vintage Italian Patina Hand-Painted King Bed | 4. Gia Francois Tapestry Headboard | 5. Antique Circa 1920 Country House Hand Painted Single Bed | 6. Diana Queen Bed Landscape Blue | 7. King-Sized Headboard Featuring a Pair of Danish Painted Panels in the Pompeian Taste, 1890 | 8. Facade Lotus King Bed – The White Lotus | 9. 1940s Vintage Handpainted French Headboard

Fall Trends #6: Chrome Finishes

Bonus trends! There were some parts of Jess’ post that were hard to bring into product roundup form (the color palette she highlighted, for instance), so I decided to add two other trends to the conversation to round out this post: Chrome, and twists—up next. Now, chrome isn’t distinctly a fall fashion as it’s become more and more popular in the last year or two, but it would be silly not to include it here since there is so much product on the market now to justify it. Chrome is everywhere, and I think it’s such a sharp, edgy finish that could fit into any room, even if just in small doses.

Try it on vases (#3), table lamps (#4), or pretty catch-alls (#7 or #9). A coffee table (#6) or side table (#1 or #5) is the next size up, or opt for it as the frame of an armchair (#2) for a deeper commitment. Or, my long-time favorite, in an object such as the Tangle sculpture (#8), which pivots at multiple joints to create endless sinuous shapes (I want one for the center of my dining table one day).

Fall Trend #7: Twists & Braided Wood

And finally, the final trend roundup of the bunch: Twists! This one is more under the radar, I think, not to mention harder to find product for, but it’s there, and it’s visible if you keep your eyes open. Some of the wood pieces originally felt a little dated to me, but in the right room, or in different materials, it’s just a different visual touch that adds softness and character.

You can buy into this cozy trend for as low as $11 with a cute twisted taper candle from Etsy (#4) or a thicker pillar candle for about twice that from McGee & Co (#8). I’m very into the twisted marble tray (#1) and the chunky twist mirror from Anthro (#2). Both the console table (#5) and side table (#7) are fairly classic with its turned twisty legs, but for something with some more flair, take a look at the table from Joon Loloi (#3).

And there you are, my friends! I like these kinds of shopping posts because we don’t all need new curtains or sofas or case goods, but sometimes, picking up a $40 candle holder just feels really good and fun, like you’re part of something, no matter how silly that sounds. Tiny pleasures are immensely important to me in these tumultuous days, so by all means, pick up a new-to-you tapestry to transform a room in your home, or a splatter platter to liven up your next dinner, whether it’s solo or with guests.

Until next time, friends…
