Colors of autumn are inspired naturally by leaf colors. Most leaves have soothing but fiery warm shades. And we see them mimicked in our everyday lives and things such as coffee and candles… book covers… and hotels too.
And if you’re a visual person, you may appreciate these colors of autumn hotel interiors listed below. Btw, did I mention that I come from an artsy family (my older sister is trained in interior design and my father was an architect)… so, I had no choice but to appreciate art, architecture, and design that was passed onto me in genes.
And as someone who grew up in the world of professional art stores, I appreciate the Pantone color charts, diverse 256-set Crayola crayon sets, paint chip wheels, and even changing up my nail polish chip.
Color undertones helped create a mood that counteracted the lesser parts of being a kid. And colors still please my inner child. 👧🏻
Today it’s even more inspiring to see a pop of color to bring joy to the day. And the fiery ones all around us in fall help us to warm up to the welcomed cooler and transitioning temperatures.
And, these aspiring common boutique hotel comfort and luxury items fit the unique colors of autumn profile… and that’s what I’m talkin’ about! 🎨
Palette Colors of Autumn Aspiration
Rooibos – warm red and brown colors of autumn
A woodsy brown-red from the South African tea. Rooibos that comes in many flavors including chocolate and vanilla is a red tea that doesn’t come from the camellia sinesis tree that green and black teas come from.
One of the my dreamy favorite places in the world (that could be yours too) is Venice, Italy.
I’ve been lucky to have visited twice, once as an adult and once as a child to wet my appetite. And while such a charming and cozy city allows no cars, there’s so much to do and see on foot or boat of choice.
And if you want to be surrounded around warm autumn rooibos and pumpkin colors, cinnamon brown leathers, and moody blues like the nearby canal waters, then this inviting Venice boutique hotel is a regal winner.
You’ll be inspired from the moment you see the bright butternut squash building and exterior wall colors.
Ochre – gold spec bronze color (aka brass)
Brass is the modern decor feature that adds some sassy and brightened flecks of gold sparkle to any interior. And if that’s one of the inspiring colors of autumn to you, then this super cool Pittsburgh boutique hotel with moody warm tones and tech-inspired artwork is a good find you want to check out.
The Heinz ketchup city has grown from the coal mining town it once was. And now the dark meets modern vibes that the city has grown into.
Caramel brown
You can find the changing tree leaf colors in the mountains and Adirondacks. And I came across this is cool fall foliage map that changes as the colors change. And you can change your scenic fall drive weekend to this year’s optimal peak. I would’ve thought it was early October that it once was, but that has all shifted to later in the northern hemisphere. For easy reference, the actual natural fall peak usually is around Halloween when pumpkins glow.
Fiery colors like this landscape includes red, orange, yellow, green, blue, brown, and blue next to the Potomac River.
Canary Yellow
Modern canary yellow has a tinge of green to tone down, and is often paired with cooler neutrals like gray. In nature, you see yellow against green like the photo above.
Vintage buildings like those in Under the Tuscan Sun are closer to a yellow mustard than canary or a summer sunflower yellow.
And if natural colors of autumn suit your fancy, if you’re visiting Madrid, then this naturally decorated hotel has green, blue, and browns to mimick nature.
Another hotel that has rich color tones that match its surroundings is this modern hotel that opened circa 2019 against a historic backdrop outside Washington, DC. The colors of autumn there include blue like the Potomac River views, green tree, and brown twigs.
Brick Red
The autumn color of rusty red brick buildings and cobblestone pedestrian streets of Old Town Alexandria make a great backdrop to nature’s changing colors. And this historic area is where there are lotsa good Alexandria eats.
And if you like brick, you can find it in pink, orange, and maroon hues.
You also see lots of dark greens, like this natural ivy cascade found in autumn (amid warmer days and climate change).
Who says there can’t be pastels in colors of autumn? This is nature’s artwork at its finest. Would you agree?
The bridge material is the same color that is used for most of Washington, DC buildings of various marble blends. They are a neutral canvas for this fall Monet impressionist landscape “wall painting” that was captured on the path at Roosevelt Island.
