On my quest to curate comforting palettes of seasonal colors to share, I've encountered the Amber Embrace palette. If you are looking for a gentle trio with a subtle burn of faded orange, this soft autumn color palette may be the one to invite into your space for a warm, cozy, autumn atmosphere.
This trio contains the following colors:
Peach Nectar (#E3B88B),
Rustling Leaves (#C97E5A)
Linen Mist(#F0E2D0)
With these colors, the modern transitional home can have the inviting essence of warmth without losing its contemporary core.
Below, I've shared more ideas I learned on ways to use this palette in the living room, bedroom and bathroom that aren't covered in my video, "Soft Autumn Color Palette Amber Embrace for a Cozy Dining Room".

Linen Mist, the neutral, should play the dominant role of the Autumn Embrace Palette. To avoiding overwhelm the look of the space, Rustling Leaves and Nectar should take their roles as complementary accents.
Mixing the Eras and Textures:
Materials like fabric, wood and metal should be combined. In this way, the transitional blend of classic and modern style achieved.
It's About Quality:
Timeless pieces (i.e. for furniture and decor) are a good investment when it comes to achieving longevity and a well-put-together style.
