I’ve been feeling so inspired by all things autumn lately, especially as the season brings us closer to cheerful gatherings and festive holidays. One photograph that really captured my imagination is this beautiful fall-themed dining setup. There is a warmly lit table setting with a gold-trimmed white plate and a place card, ready for guests. Behind it, a cornucopia overflowing with small pumpkins, fall leaves, and decorative branches adds to the seasonal charm. The twinkling lights in the background give it all a warm, festive glow, evoking the feeling of a harvest feast or a Thanksgiving dinner.
The colors in this photo are just as warm and inviting as the setup itself. You’ll find a rich brown reminiscent of crunchy fall leaves, a deep burnt orange that feels like the heart of autumn, a golden yellow that mirrors the glow of twinkling lights, and warm taupe and tan hues that bring a soft, earthy balance. There’s also a touch of creamy white, much like the plate on the table, adding a sense of bright contrast and elegance to the palette.
For this palette, I chose two yarns that perfectly capture its warm colors and essence. The first is Premier Yarns Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted, with colors that are a bit more subdued, lending themselves to a timeless, classic feel. The second is Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, which features soft, heathered tones that are perfect for cozy, textured projects. Together, these yarns offer a versatile range of autumn-inspired shades that can be worked into countless projects.
As we move into the colder months, this color palette is perfect for sweaters, hats, and scarves that will keep you warm and stylish. The wool would be ideal for these wearable projects, while the acrylic yarn is wonderful for home decor pieces. Imagine large, snuggly throws or smaller lapghans to drape over your favorite chair. You could even use this palette to create festive fall decor, like crochet pumpkins or decorative pillow covers to bring the warmth of the season into your home.
