You know the fall season is upon us when the leaves begin to transform from green to rich hues of red, orange, yellow, and purple. Not to be upstaged by foliage, plenty of flowering plants are in bloom during the fall that are just as vibrant and enchanting. The depth and range of fall colors have given us multiple ways to describe them with words such as crimson, gold, amber, mahogany, and plum. The rich colors of fall florals boost the ambiance of any room and allow you to incorporate natural elements into your home while also giving it a chic seasonal update.
