Decorating with Harvest Colors

Caramel colored walls are a neutral, yet warm backdrop in this dressy-meets-cabin dining room. The casual linens and mix-and-match furniture contrast with the chandelier and pretty pottery to create a room that is eclectic and one-of-a-kind.

The merlot-colored paint in this room is balanced by a calm cream shade on the bottom portion of the walls. Autumnal fabric covers the furniture; sleek black and chrome chairs add a modern touch.

This open-to-the-outdoors room is bathed in dusty red from floor to ceiling. The dining table sits atop a gray rug and the room's decorations, mostly fresh flowers and fruit, are straight from nature.

Nature meets modern in this distinctive room. The reddish-brown wall color is rich and earthy, and the white animal statue is a unique touch. The leather chair, zebra-print rug, and log end table add a few more natural touches.

Orange, gray, and cream make a sophisticated color palette. Bathe your walls in a pumpkin-colored paint and then use neutrals to calm the look. Silver and glass accents add just the right amount of sparkle.

Pale gold paint is the perfect choice in this traditional living room. Striped drapes, dark upholstered furniture, and burgundy accents continue the time-honored look. A natural fiber rug is cozy and neutral over hardwood floors.

Be creative when adding a splash of color to your kitchen. Instead of painting the walls a bold hue, consider choosing a neutral tan and then adding bright red paint to the cabinets. Combined with vintage artwork, sleek counters, and stainless steel appliances, the finished look is surprising and fresh.

This orange wall color evokes the warmth of autumn. Casual country touches -- the rustic bench, cozy blanket, and natural artwork -- add comfort to the space. The white trim, door, and ceiling really pop against the saturated wall color.

Two hues of orange painted in stripes add visual interest to this dining room's walls. The furniture and floor are simple, but a distinctive centerpiece introduces another bright color to the room.

This red-walled room is classy and chic. The white armless chairs have clean, modern lines and the studded leather ottoman gives a warm touch. The zebra-print rug is fun and surprising, and the huge windows let in lots of natural light.
