Colors, Textures & Design Elements For Easy Fall Decorating

Falling leaves, chilled winds and pouring rain can only mean one thing… It’s autumn again. If you love autumn like I do, you will adore these fall designs I have for you. Today I'm talking about the living room and I will try to inspire you to bring autumn into your home with simple, yet eye catching details. Traditional fall colors are those found in nature — burgundy, brown, gold, orange, yellow. Contemporary choices include gray, apricot, tan, rusty red, green, and bursts of color like eggplant, teal and turquoise.

Welcome To The Domestic Curator

Hello, I'm Ronda Chesser Porter. I have an extensive background in cooking and floral design, and after a short stint in party planning, I now work on my blog, The Domestic Curator, full-time. Here, I enjoy sharing my love of cooking, decorating, floral design, entertaining, traveling the world and spending time with family and friends. I am married to Mr.P, a self-employed CPA with a good heart. We have shared many adventures while raising our two amazing children and now take much pleasure in this little empty nest of ours. I believe life does not have to be elaborate or extravagant to be amazing!
