FALL'S HOTTEST LOOKS IN HOME ACCENTS FROM THE EDITORS OF HOME ACCENTS TODAY
Gold
-
Honeyed hues bring a warm glow to modern design, complemented by rich shades of java and espresso

Despite the outrageous allure of gold, under-statement is the key to a deftly layered whole

Overall simplicity of form is balanced by a few ornamental accents, expressed in glass, wood and brass
Scarlet
-
Chinoiserie meets contemporary in a spirited, saucy mix brimming with vivid color
-
Drama-heavy statement pieces blend harmoniously with transitional designs
-
Traditional Asian motifs like fretwork, bamboo and koi get updated with stylish flair
Lilac
-
Gray, silver and lilac set the tone for exquisite sophistication, harking back to the court of Marie Antoinette
-
French influences this season are all about fun, fashion and femininity crossed with frivolity
-
Typically Gallic leitmotivs like crests, lace and sunbursts reign in this star-studded fête
Neutrals
-
Lush, varied neutrals enhance the organic ambience, using natural materials such as wood, wool and leather
-
Modern designs blend with rustic, eco-friendly offerings in civilized disorder

Form does not follow function, instead the two meet on equal footing
Black
-
Deep finishes, wire accents and modern art establish a hip and edgy attitude
