Top Trends In Interior Design This Fall

As the leaves shift into vibrant shades of amber and crimson, interior design is embracing its own season of transformation. Fall isn’t just about lattes and pumpkin desserts—it’s a time for deeper colors, richer textures, and memorable design moves. Dark cabinetry is gaining ground, minimalism is making its exit, and layered, collected spaces are taking center stage. This season is all about curating rooms that feel full, unique, and unmistakably you.

In this blog, our design team at Meg & Co shares six key trends in interior design to watch for this fall. Each one brings a fresh excitement and will get you inspired for your next home update.

1. Deep Earthy Tones and Warm Color Palettes

This fall, interior design is moving away from crisp white spaces and embracing rich, grounded hues that bring warmth and character to every room. In our Clifford Project office in Twin Falls, Idaho, custom-built by Meg & Co, these stunning floor-to-ceiling built-ins capture the trend perfectly. This dark walnut cabinetry with a custom stain adds depth, drama, and a refined elegance that lighter finishes simply can’t match.

Dark wood will always be a design classic, but this season it takes center stage as homeowners seek spaces that feel layered, inviting, and full of personality. From offices and libraries to kitchens and mudrooms, deep earthy tones create an atmosphere that’s both luxurious and comforting—a look that feels right at home this fall and beyond.

2. Goodbye Minimalism, Hello Layers!

For years, minimalism ruled the design world. Hotels embraced it because it’s easy to love at first sight—light, airy, and effortlessly clean. But what those sleek, empty spaces gain in order, they often lose in character. They could belong to anyone, and that’s exactly the point.

A home, on the other hand, should tell your story. When guests walk through the door, they should feel a sense of curiosity—drawn to the art on the walls, the antique stool by the fireplace, the stack of books collected from travels, or the heirloom chair with a worn-but-loved finish. Layered textures, bold patterns, and rich colors invite people to linger and discover something new with every glance. The era of cold “Armani Gray” interiors is fading, making way for homes filled with warmth, history, and personality. We love pairing antique finds with modern, polished pieces to create rooms that feel complete, compelling, and full of life.

3. Handcrafted Spaces

Homes with soul are never accidental—they’re carefully crafted. Every element tells a story when it’s designed and built with intention. At Meg & Co, we believe true luxury comes from thoughtful details: architectural millwork, layered textures, and custom finishes that reveal the maker’s hand. These spaces aren’t just styled; they’re made—inviting you to notice the joinery, the mix of materials, and the way each choice adds up to something you can feel the moment you walk in.

This bathroom is a masterclass in thoughtful design. Floor-to-ceiling wainscoting panels create instant character (read more about why we love wainscoting as an architectural feature ) while deep, moody paint highlights every groove. Our team planned every element with care, from the freestanding tub and floor-mounted faucet with hand shower to the artful mix of metals that gives the space its subtle sparkle. A sculptural statement light floats above the tub, balancing the room and adding a touch of French-inspired elegance.

This great room celebrates natural materials and tailored craftsmanship. A square-opening stone fireplace anchors the space, framed by a striking walnut mantle and a protruding hearth that begs for art or seasonal décor. Beneath the expansive window, a custom walnut bench hides storage behind beautifully built cabinetry. Every element—from the masonry to the millwork—was carefully considered by the Meg & Co team to create a room that feels warm, refined, and one-of-a-kind.

4. Marble Interior Design Accents

Marble has never really stepped out of the design scene and for good reason. This natural stone brings instant class and a sense of permanence wherever it appears. But the key to modern marble is moderation. Instead of covering every surface like a grand museum, today’s designs favor small, striking doses that feel personal and livable.

Think of a dramatic fireplace, a stunning kitchen backsplash, a waterfall countertop, or even a side table or sculptural lamp. Each placement becomes a focal point that draws the eye without overwhelming the room. At Meg & Co, we love using marble as an accent because it leads with beauty while leaving space for other textures and stories to shine.

5. Wallpaper: The Fall Interior Design Trend That Doubles as Art

Wallpaper is having a major fall design moment—and it’s easy to see why. More than that, today’s wallpapers are like large-scale art installations. For instance, you can cover an entire room or simply highlight a single wall! Both add instant depth, joy, and a burst of personality to any space.

From there, the options are endless. From elegant grasscloth in a dining room to a fun print in a toddler’s bedroom, wallpaper is joyful, playful, or completely unexpected. Use it to define zones—like a butler’s pantry, a reading nook, or a powder bath—without moving a single wall. At Meg & Co, we love how wallpaper transforms a space and makes it memorable.

6. Mixing Textures and Natural Materials

This season, design is leaning into the beauty of what nature gives us. For example, reclaimed wood beams, walnut cabinetry, stone fireplaces, and white oak flooring bring warmth and quality that no manufactured finish can match. These materials are not only gorgeous—they’re durable and rich with character. In an open floor plan, like the one pictured here, the interplay of wood, stone, and natural textures creates a home that feels both grounded and elevated.

So, if you’re planning a remodel or building new, think about incorporating one—or several—of these elements into your design. At Meg & Co, we love blending natural materials to create spaces that feel inviting and built to last.
