Our Favorites Report: 2025 Trending Fall Color Palette
Trending 2025 Colors We’re Loving This Fall
As fall settles in, 2025’s color trends feel especially inviting — rich browns, mellow neutrals, and cozy, sun-warmed hues are taking the spotlight. The season’s palette leans grounded yet playful, blending natural tones with touches of warmth and optimism.
At Marmeda, we’re drawn to colors that feel timeless but still bring a little joy to your space. Our favorite trending shades this year — Musk Melon, Épernay, Coffee Bean, and Downtown Brown — are easy to layer into what you already have at home, whether you’re refreshing a tabletop or cozying up a corner for fall.
Here’s how we’re using them this season:
Musk Melon
Why we love it:
Melon brings a soft burst of energy to the earthy palette of fall — cheerful but still grounded. It pairs beautifully with warm woods, cream tones, and brass accents.
How to use it this fall:
-
Swap in a Melon-toned gourds for your pedestal bowls or fruit bowls on your dining table and fill it with other seasonal fruit — think pears, persimmons, or small traditional pumpkins. Check out our Sonrisa Collection for colors that pair excellent with Melon.
-
Layer Melon textiles (like throw pillows or napkins) into neutral settings. Against beige or brown upholstery, the color instantly freshens the room without overpowering it.
-
In outdoor spaces, add a Melon accent piece — a planter or small ceramic bowl — to brighten your patio or entryway while still feeling autumn-appropriate. Momma Pots has some great planters in a blush melon color we LOVE.
Épernay
Why we love it:
Épernay has a soft, champagne-blush tone that transitions beautifully from summer to fall. It adds warmth without heaviness and pairs seamlessly with gold, walnut, and natural linens.
How to use it this fall:
-
Style an Épernay vase with dried stems or muted fall florals — such as pampas grass or eucalyptus — for an understated seasonal arrangement.
-
Layer Épernay accents on a coffee table or sideboard alongside amber glass and wood for a cozy, tonal mix.
-
Mix Épernay and terracotta tones in throw blankets or ceramics to create a feminine yet earthy fall palette.
Coffee Bean
Why we love it:
Coffee Bean is a rich, comforting brown — perfect for the season of warmth and gathering. It anchors lighter tones and instantly adds depth to minimalist spaces.
How to use it this fall:
-
Place a Decorative bowl or vase on a light wood or marble surface for beautiful contrast. Add pinecones (that coffee bean hue) acorns, or dried fruit, or coffee beans for a simple, natural centerpiece.
-
Introduce Coffee Bean accents in soft furnishings — a throw blanket, woven basket, or picture frame — to warm up cooler-toned rooms.
-
Use Coffee Bean colored ceramics as the foundation and layer brighter pieces (like Melon or Épernay) nearby for a balanced fall display.
Downtown Brown
Why we love it:
Downtown Brown has a modern edge — rich but not too rustic, perfect for those who love a city-meets-nature vibe. It feels cozy and polished all at once.
How to use it this fall:
-
Pair Downtown Brown ceramics or bowls with creamy whites and brass décor — it gives that “autumn but elevated” look.
-
On open shelving, style Downtown Brown pieces next to lighter pottery or books with beige and taupe spines to create a layered, tonal moment.
-
Outdoors, ground your space with Downtown Brown natural elements, like tree branches, and wood patio furniture, then add cozy textures like wool throws or neutral cushions for that fireside feel.
Bringing It All Together
This season, it’s all about warmth and ease — layering color into the things you already love. Try pairing:
-
Musk Melon + Coffee Bean for a cheerful yet cozy tabletop.
-
Épernay + Downtown Brown for an elevated neutral look with just enough depth.
-
A mix of textures — glazed ceramics, soft textiles, and matte finishes — to make each tone feel intentional and lived-in.
These 2025 colors capture everything we love about fall: comfort, warmth, and effortless joy. Whether you’re styling a shelf, setting a table, or refreshing your entryway, it’s the perfect time to experiment with tones that make your space feel happy and grounded.
