September Décor Trends You’ll Adore

September means back to school, back to the grind and back to our same old routines. But when it comes to home décor, September marks the prelude to a brand new season to experiment with your surroundings.

These September décor trends will have you welcoming fall with open arms – and an open mind.

September Trend #1: Dark Floral Prints

Dark floral patterns are an autumn trends

While light and bright floral prints have dominated the décor scene over the summer, darker floral prints are slowly making their way into the spotlight this month, adding a touch of chic urbanity to home decor.

Black is tricky. Most people are afraid of it and use it sparingly with small accent pieces or accessories, but we see a shift on the horizon.

Dark floral prints are paving the way for change by bringing a touch of lightness to the dark; something every décor-lover is always on the hunt for: Balance.

If a black wall is too bold for your taste, darker floral prints are an on-trend way to explore your gothic side without going overboard, serving as an elegant backdrop for bedrooms, living rooms and dens.

Wallpaper and upholstery are absorbing this trend to the fullest, so find a roll or swatch that speaks to you and give it a try this month.

!nspire tip: This trend makes a big impact. If you’re apprehensive, try wallpapering a small accent wall or back of a bookshelf to see its effect before taking it further.

September Trend #2: Oxblood Red

Every month has a hot color to watch out for and September’s go-to trendy hue is Oxblood Red.

We’ve seen this color bring a flush of excitement to several rooms, and surprisingly to white or neutral kitchens, acting as a spicy accent tone in the form of coloured glass bowls, luminous light fixtures, roman shades and even stemware.

But this luxe color isn’t tied to the kitchen. Oxblood sofas, stools and accent chairs are out-glamoring beige furniture at lightning speed.

Our Zola Lift Stool is a luxurious option that embraces the Oxblood trend and transforms any home bar into a relaxing retreat after a long day of work. The bucket style seat with thick cushioning provides sturdy support, while the diamond stitched pattern adds sophisticated style found exclusively in modern seating.

With fall on its way, we expect to see the return of rich, dark hues, and we’re excited to start things off right with the sensuous vibe of Oxblood red.

September Trend #3: Hair On Hide

Farm chic is making a comeback! Although there’s been mixed reviews on this trend, those who love it are embracing it this month and using it in unexpected places.

Hide has climbed up onto sofas, chairs and even tables and consoles, creating the urge to pet the furniture all month long and throughout the cooler months ahead.

Some décor companies are even offering custom upholstery jobs catering to the time of year: shorter fur in the summer (think: silky hide table runners) or longer and curlier in the winter (think: shag pillows and carpets.)

This faux-fur and faux-hide trend adds a touch of masculinity and texture to any room in need of a quick lift. It’s especially popular in dens, man-caves and cozy cottages with wood trim and wool accents.

For a feminine touch, try incorporating delicate farm accents like mason jars and candles for a whimsical feel against the ruggedness of the animal hide.

If you really want to push the boundaries of this trend, choose a statement piece like the Angus ii Accent Chair In Black. The stylish metal stud detailing, faux leather back and wingback design will win over even the most skeptical design lovers – living proof that faux-hide can be chic!
