Easy Guide to Adding Teal to Your Fall Decor
|
As summer’s warmth gives way to the crisp, cool air of autumn, many of us find ourselves drawn to decorating with cozy colors like burnt orange, sunflower yellow, and spiced cranberry - timeless favorites for the season. This year, I'm especially excited about a recent trend that combines these classic autumn tones with cool teal for a fresh, coastal-inspired look. Teal is making a bold statement in fall decor, and I'm absolutely loving it!
Read on for tips on how to incorporate cool teal into your warm fall decor:
Why does teal work so well with fall decor?
Teal offers a pleasing-to-the-eye contrast against warm oranges and sunny yellows, giving your space an unexpected color story.
You can incorporate this fall decorating trend right at your front door. Begin by choosing an outdoor mat that features teal in its design. Pair your doormat with orange mums, yellow sunflowers, or white pumpkins to complete your front door fall decor.
This outdoor doormat keeps things cheerful no matter the season, and sets a unique and welcoming tone for your guests all throughout the year.
Swap out your traditional fall decor for white and teal pumpkins
Add more teal to your fall decorating by replacing traditional orange and yellow pumpkins with cool teal and white pumpkin decor. Whether you’re using real pumpkins or opting for some painted faux ones (or painting your own!), a teal and white combo makes for a modern fall decor display.

4 easy tips for incorporating soft teal with warm autumn colors
Teal is a refreshing contrast to the warm, earthy tones of this season. Adding soft teal accents to your fall decor brings a subtle pop of color that can make your space feel friendly and inviting. Here are some teal fall decor ideas:
DIY ShowOff
If you’re not quite ready to say goodbye to summer, mix a bit of teal into your fall floral arrangements for a blend of both seasons. Dried teal hydrangeas look stunning when combined with flowers in rich shades of orange and yellow.
For your fall table decor, consider using teal as the focal color, complemented by warm creams, tans, and pumpkin tones. A teal charger, white plate, and cream pumpkin makes a stunning fall place setting. Accent with teal glasses, candle holders, and napkins. Place traditional fall accessories strategically to bring it all together.
Mix and match seasonal plaids with teal throw pillows or add a teal throw blanket for a cool couch makeover - its calming tone will pop against earthy colors and create a cozy, balanced space.
Update your bookcase fall decor by grouping together books with earthy tones like beiges and browns, then add a few pieces of art, some seasonal greenery, and a playful teal accent to tie it all together.

Should I paint my front door teal for fall?
Painting your front door teal this fall is a great choice, as it’s a versatile color that works for every season. Teal looks stunning year-round, but its refreshing blend of blue and green really stands out against the warm oranges, reds, and golds of autumn. This creates an eye-catching contrast that feels festive and welcoming.
