Maybe it's the shorter days, but this time of year always has me searching for bright colors to warm up my interiors. Fall trends join in with an emphasis on bold color combinations, typographic elements and lots of geometric patterns, shapes and silhouettes.
You can choose a big, bold accessory or add the geometric look on a smaller, neutral scale. There's definitely something to fit your personal style. But whatever approach you choose, you'll bring warmth and pattern to your home at the same time.

Typography is a strong trend in decor right now. Join it without losing your vintage vibe by hanging this classic eye chart on your wall. The repetition of the "E" is mesmerizing and abstract.

Jonathan Adler may be the king of all things colorful and geometric, and his latest pillows don't disappoint. I particularly like these hexagonal targets. Try one of these on a simply colored sofa.

These red bowls from Ikea fold flat when not in use, which further highlights their grounding in geometric forms. Careful joints around the base of the bowl look fantastic, and storing them is a breeze!

| The repetitive triangles on this mirror subtly nod to the geometric trend. But the effect is no less striking, with little snippets of your room reflected from all of its angles. It would add a quick burst of detail to an entryway. |

| "Pleated lampshade" takes on a whole new meaning when used to describe these pendant lights. The view from the interior is just as gorgeous — I'd hang one of these over a dining table so people could see the inside as well as the outside. |
