When it comes to trend predictions in the home design space, popular colors, patterns, and decor styles shift all the time. In 2024, interior designers predicted a rise in warm-toned palettes and vintage patterns that swung the pendulum away from the cool-toned greige era of the 2010s. The following year, we saw that many design houses’ 2025 Colors of the Year leaned into darker, moodier shades that provided greater depth of contrast. And now, in the upcoming 2026 Color of the Year predictions, we see a shift into earthy, muted colors perfectly suited for color-drenching. But it’s not just every 365 days that popular tones rise and fall. We see it each month as we pass through seasonal cycles, too.
Trends in color, pattern, fashion, design, and home decor don’t exist in a vacuum—they’re indicators of a larger scope. Culture and ideology; technology and media; holidays and traditions all have a hand in the way we view color. But color is also a creative expression of emotion and style. Every shade has a different impact. A deep, blue-violet hue might make a space feel more industrial than a burgundy. Chartreuse and army green offer two starkly different styles. The same goes for pumpkin orange and burnt sienna. We were inspired by this, and decided to take a deeper look at color trend forecasting to bring you our Color of the Month. Every four weeks, we’ll discuss a new hue that we see embodying the essence of that 30-day period. Keep reading to explore these stylish shades and see how you can incorporate them into your decor.
November Color of the Month: Cherry Lacquer
Cherry Lacquer is both classic and alluring; luxurious and daring. After speaking with our editors and in-house trend expert Elizabeth Garcia, SVP of Creative & Design, we determined this emboldened red to be the perfect fit for the month of thanks. “This rich, wine-like hue evokes the joy of gathering around a table, sharing meals, or hosting friends. Its deep color elicits warmth and connection, making homes feel full and welcoming,” she states. Incorporate it into soft touches in the home, like bedding, blankets, and pillows; or make a splash with an unexpected pop of Cherry Lacquer in your flower vases or table lamps.
October Color of the Month: Midnight Dusk
This deep, blue violet hue is set to be the color of October and all its Halloween magic ahead. There’s a vintage feel to Midnight Dusk that makes it perfectly suited for the season of the witch. “This shadowy hue sits between blue and purple and lends a sense of mystery and escapism. This enchanted shade is soothing, yet captures the trend toward dark and dramatic home decor,” Garcia says. Incorporate the color throughout your home in bursts: a moody, patterned throw blanket; a rich-colored bouquet; and dark taper candles. Not only will it add contrast, but it’ll amplify the essence of the Halloween season—dark, mysterious, and ghoulishly chic.
