Teal and Copper Fall Room Decor Ideas

If you’re looking for some autumn decorating inspiration, these easy fall room decor ideas use non traditional colors of teal and copper to make your home feel cozy.

It’s official! Fall is here!!

And I have to admit that I don’t usually decorate for fall.

I go straight from summer to Halloween.

But there was one year that I actually went all out on fall home decor.

The Color Scheme

If you’ve read any of my previous fall posts, you know that orange isn’t my favorite color for decorating.

So I started this process by looking for some non-traditional fall decorating inspiration.

I had already decided that DIY copper leaf pumpkins would be a great way to keep the color palette warm without actually using orange.

So I just needed a color to combine with it.

Most of my house is painted blue, and I was doing an Under the Sea theme for Halloween, so some shade of blue was an obvious choice.

I know what you’re thinking…who picks their fall home decorating colors based on their Halloween party theme?? That would be me 🙂

Then I happened to find blue-ish green and white heirloom pumpkins at my local grocery store, and I knew it was meant to be. 

So that’s how I chose teal and copper as my color theme.

C’mon in

Okay, now that the color decisions are out of the way, let’s start the tour!

If you’re new around here, you may not know that I live in a builder grade home.

So I don’t have a pretty farmhouse facade or a cozy country front porch.

In fact, there’s basically just a front walk. Which I have spruced up by planting a garden around it.

And to be honest, I couldn’t come up with a way to decorate this that looked any better than the garden does by itself.

So I kept things simple with a coppery-gold colored leaf wreath that I found at Home Goods. It’s perfect for my front door.

Fall Entry Way Decor

My original plan was to use those white and blue pumpkins to create a pumpkin patch on the bench in the front hall.

But I quickly learned that you need a lot of them to create an effective pile. And I only had 5 of them.

Plus putting pumpkins on the bench meant you couldn’t sit on it. Which kind of defeats the purpose of having the bench there.

So I swapped the pumpkins out for a fall-themed cushion.

And brought over my blue and white garden seat to act as a pumpkin stand.

I kept the console decorations simple by using some leaf placemats* as a runner and adding one turquoise pumpkin.

It fits right in with the ocean colors that are already there.

The piano is on the back wall of the living room to your left when you walk in.

Since it regularly hosts a plethora of candles, all I did to dress it up was add a garland of metallic leaves (another Home Goods find!)

Fall Living Room Decor

From there you can see all of the living room.

This is the room where I spend most of my “relax-at-home” time, so I want it to feel cozy and comfortable for fall.

But I don’t want to spend a lot of time and money on the decorations.

I combined some twig spheres with ceramic balls and copper-leaved napkin rings in a bowl as fall coffee table decor.

None of these are fall-specific decor but putting them on top of a leaf-shaped place mat makes it feel like fall.

For the table beside the sofa, I arranged a marble and gold tray with wine glasses, a couple of fall tea towels and a ceramic pear and pumpkin.

The wine glasses have a little teal crystal on them which brings in my fall room decor color scheme.

And the faux hydrangea (actually a napkin ring) helps to soften all the hard surfaces.

To me, the word “gather” on these tea towels perfectly sums up the feeling of fall. Autumn is a great time to get together with family and friends.

Fall Fireplace And Mantel Decor

I liked it so much that I made a fall sign to go over the fireplace.

Then added my DIY frosted glass mason jar candle holders, some turquoise glasses (used as candle holders) and a faux vine to the top of the mantel.

Since I have a TV over the fireplace, I can’t put anything too tall in front of it.

But the birdcage on the end helps to balance out the floor lamp on the other side.

After deciding against the blue and white pumpkin patch on my front hall bench, I put them to use in front of the fireplace, which works much better.

To elevate some of them, I brought in an urn from outside and used it as a pedestal. Since the top isn’t flat, it keeps the pumpkins from rolling around.

Fall Dining Room Decor

The dining area in my house is really just an extension of the living room (I don’t have a true dining room).

Of course, I had to do a fall tablescape for my dining table.

I went all out with the copper accents, including candles, and wine glasses and, of course, pumpkins.  (Yes, that’s me you can see in the reflection on the glass…one problem with having highly reflective surfaces!!)

The faux vines in the middle of the table add some texture to the table that helps to balance out all of the shiny things.

You can see all the details of this gold and copper fall tablescape (and how I put it together) HERE.

Fall Kitchen Decor

My kitchen doesn’t have much extra counter space so I don’t like to clutter it up with non-functional stuff like decorations.

Which is why the fall decor in this room is relegated to the raised countertop between the kitchen and the dining area.

To create a cohesive look, I used the same maple leaf place mats as I did in the living room area. (All part of the same room).

And used the same wine glasses as you saw in the living room, which inspired the turquoise and silver color scheme for the table setting.

Layering turquoise napkins with white and black ones makes the place setting look more interesting.

Fall Bedroom Decor

The last stop on my tour is the master bedroom.

I added some fall decor touches to the chest under the window.

The tall lantern is one of my favorites.

A cup of tea, a candle, and a book are my idea of bedroom coziness!

Now, if I can just find the time to actually sit down and read…

These faux flowers from Michael’s are the perfect color to match my bedroom, and they look really nice with the blue.

A serving tray with velvet pumpkins adds some warmth to the room.

I love using apples as fall decor also. It reminds me of all the times we used to go apple picking when I was growing up. Always a great fall activity!

Using more of those leaf place mats like trays helps to tie all of the decorations together.

Hopefully you’ve found some ideas for fall decorating with non-traditional colors (like teal and copper).
