Amber Lewis' Fall Feel
Amber Lewis creates cozy yet chic interiors using layered textures and earthy tones for fall.
“I live in L.A., where it never really gets cold, so I’m a little addicted to what I call my “fall feeling’”
Nature Guides Palette
Amber starts by looking outside to choose greens, forest tones, rust, and saffron for fall color schemes.
“I always look outside first. Nature guides the palette and the tone, and it does the heavy lifting for me.”
Key Materials for Fall
Amber uses stone, wood, unlacquered brass, patinaed leather, and reclaimed oak for warm, layered interiors.
“Stone and wood, always. The ruggedness of stone next to the warmth of timeworn wood is one of my favorite pairings.”
Layering Technique
Amber layers patterns and textures to create harmony without clashing colors or tones.
“Mixing and layering is my ultimate design belief. It’s patterns on patterns on textures on more patterns.”
Earth Tones for Harmony
Amber favors mossy greens, forest tones, warm rusts, saffron, and creamy whites for balanced fall palettes.
“I’m drawn to earthy, grounded palettes in the fall. That means mossy and forest greens, warm rusts, a little saffron, and creamy warm whites.”
Small Details Matter
Amber emphasizes vintage items, books, and personal touches to make rooms feel cozy and lived-in.
“Vintage vessels and bowls. Fill them with branches or something seasonal, but not literal.”
Bedroom Layering
Amber recommends using throws, quilts, and pillows in the same color story for cozy bedrooms.
“Throws and quilts. Use them generously, and put them where people will actually use them.”
Warmth Over Polished
Amber prefers worn-in, imperfect pieces over sterile, overly polished designs for a cozy feel.
“For me, warmth is the whole point of a room. I’d always choose something that feels a little imperfect and worn-in over something sterile and overly polished.”
The short version
Amber Lewis uses organic textures and earthy palettes to create warm, layered fall decor that feels personal and timeless.
