Favorite fall aesthetic trends of 2023: Life and nature harmonize
Fall—the season “that makes life and nature harmonize” (George Eliot)—brings the promise of cool weather, rich color, comfy blankets, crackling fires, and messy s’mores. At Nature Shed, we relish this time of year and the invitation to weave the essence of fall into our home décor and surroundings. Today, we're sharing our top seven favorite fall home décor trends of 2023!
1. Sustainable Home Furnishings
Sustainability is taking center stage in the world of home decor this fall. More than ever, consumers are seeking eco-friendly furniture and décor that showcases their commitment to our planet—from furniture crafted with recycled materials to pieces made from reclaimed wood and sustainable fabrics. We celebrate this ever-growing trend, as sustainably and ethically made home décor and furnishings are essential to the Nature Shed brand.
2. Mixing Textures
Texture play is a key design staple this fall. Mixing different textures, such as smooth metals with rough stone or soft fabrics with reclaimed wood, adds depth and visual interest to both indoor and outdoor spaces.
3. Biophilic Design
Fall 2023 brings with it a deep appreciation for biophilic design principles, which bring home occupants and nature closer together. Incorporating natural elements like indoor plants, earthy color palettes, and natural textures, this trend aims to create harmony between the built environment and the natural world.

4. Cozy Outdoor Retreats
As the weather cools down, outdoor spaces are being transformed into cozy retreats. Plush seating, outdoor rugs, and fire features like fire pits or fireplaces, create inviting areas for relaxation and socializing, even into the cooler weather months.
5. Indoor-Outdoor Blurring
In 2023, the lines between indoor and outdoor living are delightfully blurred. Homeowners are embracing open-air concepts with bi-fold doors, expansive windows, and seamless transitions from interior to exterior spaces. This trend ensures you can enjoy the beauty of nature all year round, creating spaces that truly harmonize with the outdoors.
6. Minimalist Outdoor Furniture
For those who appreciate simplicity and functionality, the minimalist outdoor furniture trend is perfect. Clean lines, sleek profiles, and contemporary designs make outdoor spaces appear spacious and modern, while not overpowering their scenic surroundings.
7. Rustic Revival
There's something charming about the rustic aesthetic, and it's making a return this fall. Weathered wood, stone accents, and vintage-inspired furnishings are creating cozy and inviting atmospheres, both indoors and outdoors. Reconnect with the timeless beauty of natural elements and welcome the warmth of this trend into your living spaces.
“If a year was tucked inside of a clock, then autumn would be the magic hour.”
