Fallparty_inspirationboard



When I posted the black & yellow inspiration board last week, I asked you what other types of palettes you guys would like to see, and the first response was by Jen, who said, "Oooh. I love this! Especially the yellow for the chandeliers. I'd love to see an inspiration board featuring a rich pumpkin color. I adore it but never know how to incorporate it into my decor without making things look Halloween themed!"



After reading Jen's comment, I set out to create a "rich pumpkin" themed board, and it actually proved to be much harder than I expected to find pumpkin-hued products - especially given the fact that fall is upon us right now... so I focused on a few different shades of orange instead - from burnt orange tones to pumpkin and coral hues - with accents of deep purple/plum to strengthen the "Autumn" feel. I think this still works for the season and would be fun for fall cocktail parties, rehearsal dinners, or bridal/engagement showers. What do you think?

This color palette is beautiful! I actually used many of these colors to decorate my living room for fall. It has purple carpet and drapes, and the different orange hues really pop against the purple. I love it!
