Inspired by Harvest Moon

Is there anything as lovely as a crisp autumn evening under a bright full moon? After days of scorching summer heat, the fall breeze is a welcome break offering up fun seasonal activities like apple picking, carving pumpkins, and solving corn mazes. So, pull out a warm shawl and a velvet-brim hat, grab your favourite walking companion and maybe a pumpkin spice latte, and take a stroll through the beautiful colours.  

Wrap yourself up in fun fall palettes by installing brand new floors this season. We’ve curated a collection of flooring and design inspiration based on the harvest moon. From the pale gray moon to the warm purple hues of twilight, we’ve got a few fall favourites headed your way. 

Autumn colour Palettes

Paint by Benjamin Moore

Fall is well-known for its colours as the once-green leaves burst into vibrant hues of purple, red, yellow, and orange before cascading into piles of rich brown. Bring a bit of that lovely fall colour inside with linens, pillows, décor, and maybe even a fresh coat of paint. Sprucing up your home now is just good prep so that you’re ready when the family arrives on the holidays.

Down to Earth Tile 

Erosion Rock Porcelain by Emser Tile

This beautiful glazed porcelain tile designed by Emser has a gray, earthy hue that pulls out both cool and warm undertones that will brilliantly match your interiors. Alongside its aesthetic appeal, this concrete-look tile has incredible durability, so it can withstand high traffic and even makes an excellent exterior floor. Elevate your outdoor patio this season with outdoor heaters and the warmth of this Erosion tile to make the most of those crisp fall evenings under a brilliant harvest moon.

Vintage Aged Hardwood  

Enjoy the rich look of hickory floorboards with our hardwood pick this fall. Amur Hickory by Downs is the perfect flooring companion for your home. Its unique sense of history and character combines the contemporary look of wide-planks with a slightly distressed surface to date it. This classic hardwood has the appearance of a vintage, oil-rubbed hickory floor, but thanks to its modern technology, you can install it anywhere, including kitchens and bathrooms.

Carpet for Cozying Up

Celebrate the season in style by sinking your feet into Hearth & Home’s Circle Drive Plus in New Grape. This strikingly moody purple hue adds a layer of coziness that allows you to indulge in creative flair. A textured Saxony carpet is perfect for the bedroom and living room alike, with its plush deep pile warming up your home during the darkest months of the year.

Pull cool gray tones together with rich brown hues this fall when you invest in Crimson Shore luxury vinyl by Downs Life H2O. This waterproof flooring combines a rustic textured graining with a contemporary smooth finish to produce an unmatched wood look that’s sure to stand out in any interior design.
