Value-Boosting Home Design Trends in Denver for Fall 2023

Dear Denver, this Fall is your chance to bring the essence of the season into your homes. So, as the leaves fall and the air turns brisk, let's embrace these design trends and create spaces that are not only stylish but also a true reflection of the beauty that surrounds us.

The change of the seasons is always a great time to update your home’s aesthetic—and by incorporating a few current trends, you can actually increase your home’s sale price if you’re in the market.

How does good interior design boost your home value?

While increasing the value of your home may not be the initial reason you decide to redecorate, great design does often increase the perceived value of a home.

What’s perceived value? It’s the subjective value that a buyer places on a property, and it can be boosted by things like staging, good landscaping, and well-thought design. According to Country Living, a simple redecoration can increase your home’s value by up to 10%—and that’s without remodeling anything.

Home design trends for Fall 2023 in Denver

Hello, wonderful Denver dwellers! As the crisp air of autumn makes its way into our beautiful city, it's the perfect time to cozy up and embrace the changing seasons not only in nature but also in your homes. As an experienced Realtor with a penchant for all things home and nature-related, I'm here to guide you through the exciting home design trends that Fall 2023 has in store for us.

Whether you’re thinking of selling this autumn or not, these Fall home design trends will update your space and make it feel fresh. For 2023, we’re seeing a move away from obvious fall motifs (like scarecrows and pumpkins). Instead, you’ll see more subtle decor choices that inspire feelings of coziness with a nod to nostalgia. Here’s what to expect.

Organic and interesting shapes

Organic shapes ousted harsh angles and straight line syndrome at the end of last year, and they’re still going strong. The main update for fall is the showcased use of organic shapes to create visual interest. Curves combined with high contrast colors, impactful textures, and moody lighting will take center stage.

And for those who share my passion for all things animal, why not integrate subtle animal-inspired accents? Whether it's a tasteful horse sculpture on your bookshelf or goat-themed throw pillows on your sofa, these playful touches can bring a smile to your face and a nod to your furry friends.

Warm neutrals

Picture this: the leaves in Washington Park may be turning vibrant shades of red and gold, but why not bring those warm hues indoors? This season, we're seeing a resurgence of earthy tones that echo the stunning landscapes of Parker, Highlands Ranch, and Castle Rock. Think deep terracottas, rich olive greens, and warm ochres that can transform any space into a cozy retreat, much like the acreage properties I've had the pleasure of helping you find.

Subtlety and warmth continue in this season’s most-loved hues. Be on the lookout for welcoming honeys and muted peaches. Earthy tones combined with pops of contrasting black will create depth and interest—while usurping the more obvious pumpkin oranges.

Luxurious textures

Now, let's talk textures! Just like the soft fur of your horses and the lush foliage in your garden, texture plays a pivotal role in adding depth and comfort to your living spaces. Embrace chunky knit throws that beckon you to snuggle up by the fireplace, reminiscent of those chilly Colorado evenings. Incorporating woven elements, like the art of weaving I've recently picked up, can add an artisanal touch that pays homage to your love for nature and craftsmanship.

Fall decor is about incorporating all the senses, so think beyond visual interest. This autumn, we’ll be seeing mixed luxury textures like velvet, beadboard, and leather. Incorporate a variety of tactile items, and don’t be afraid to overdo it. Burlap, crochet, silk, dried plants, and anything else you can imagine are on the table. Expect to see lots of wicker and woven furniture, and on the walls, envision limewash or textured wallpaper.

Vintage charm

Fall always skews a little bit vintage, usually because this time of year most people like to get cozy and nostalgic. This year, you’ll see more obvious nods to the past with cottage core and granny chic aesthetic choices that incorporate vintage and vintage-inspired pieces. Expect patterns on the walls and in the furniture, lots of texture, and maximalist ornamentation.

As the sun sets a bit earlier over Lone Tree and Franktown, lighting takes center stage. This season, consider infusing your interiors with warm, ambient lighting that exudes a sense of intimacy. From vintage-inspired chandeliers that harken back to the charm of Elizabeth to modern pendant lights that elevate the luxury homes you're so familiar with, let the illumination be a reflection of your exquisite taste.

Make it yours

The most important part about decorating your space is that you like it when you're finished. Take these trends, make them yours, and create a space that you love.

Happy decorating, and remember, I'm here to help you find that perfect acreage property or luxurious home where these trends can truly shine!
