Warm Up Your Walls: Interior Paint Colors That Feel Like a Richmond Fall
Posted on September 8, 2025
As the summer heat fades and cooler air rolls into the Richmond area, it’s the perfect time to cozy up the inside of your home. One of the best ways to embrace the fall in your home? Giving your interiors a fresh coat of paint with warm, welcoming tones. Color palettes with rich, earthy hues can make your home feel comfortable in preparation for the holidays.
Fall-Inspired Paint Colors
Here are a couple trending colors that work best in Richmond’s historic homes and cozy townhouses:
- Burnt Orange & Terracota: These warm tones offer depth and personality, perfect for any accent walls in your home.
- Warm Taupe & Mushroom: Neutrals tend to be some of the most versatile colors, bringing a soft, elegant feel to bedrooms or open-concept spaces.
- Olive Green & Forest Shades: These green tones provide a natural, grounded feeling. We recommend using them in studies, dens, or anywhere you want a calm vibe.
- Spiced Reds & Mulberry: These colors are bold without being overwhelming, adding warmth to entryways and powder rooms.
If these palettes don’t appeal to you, consider a color consultation! We offer this service as part of our sales process, helping our customers find the perfect shade to complement your existing decor.
Why Fall Is The Perfect Time to Paint
Cooler temperatures and lower humidity levels make fall a great time for interior painting in Richmond. Paint tends to dry more evenly, odors dissipate faster, and your schedule may be more flexible due to your kids being back in school. Also, a fresh interior can set the tone for the following months whether you’re hosting for the holidays or want to enjoy a refreshed space.
