We love the pairing of our soft black and wood tones in this chippy piece painted by Nicole of Thirteen Hundred North . This piece is decorated with old books, candlesticks, amber jars… and we can’t forget the spooky black cat!
Fall Decorating Inspiration
Let’s look at some of our past favorite fall furniture pieces painted in Miss Mustard Seed’s® Milk Paint to get inspired for ways you can decorate this fall.
Tangerine
From the UK, we have this lovely piece by Tweak Home painted in Tangerine. Tangerine reminds us of the dimpled rind of the citrus fruit, pumpkins, and autumn leaves, making it the perfect color to brighten your home for fall. Tweak Home added fabric pumpkins, tin pitchers, wheat, and foliage to complete this colorful fall look. Try pairing Tangerine with Linen, Mustard Seed Yellow, and Curio for a classic autumn feel.
(Reformulated Tangerine will be available this fall!)
For a chic setup, try pairing Tangerine with Ironstone and Bergere. Imagine pairing a painted vase in Bergere with Tangerine painted pumpkins! Or, try decorating your Tangerine painted piece with antique blue ball jars.
Mustard Seed Yellow
Next, we have this beautiful piece by Nicole from Thirteen Hundred North. Look at all that chippy goodness! This piece is painted in Mustard Seed Yellow and sealed with MilkWax™ Clear with MilkWax™ Antiquing used in a few places. The warm golden tones of this color remind us of autumnal leaves and yellow pumpkins. Nicole decorated with amber jars, pampas grass, wheat, black candlesticks, and pumpkins. For fall, Mustard Seed Yellow looks excellent paired with Ironstone and Curio.
For a quick fall project on a smaller scale, grab some MilkGrip™ Indoor/Bonding Agent and some glass jars. You can re-create this fall look by painting jars in Mustard Seed Yellow, Tricycle, and Tangerine. Fill your jars with any fall foliage, and you have a cute fall centerpiece!
Rich Shades of Green
This year, complex shades of green are showing up in every single room of the house. Skip the crayon box colors and opt for something with depth. Rich shades of olive and sage green are appearing on kitchen cabinets, while deeper greens add moody ambience to dining rooms.

Contrasting Trimwork
Whether brushed on the baseboards, crown molding, or window trim, painting moldings and trim a different color than the walls has become a popular look in 2021. Many are painting their window trim black to draw attention to this architectural detail. Painting the trim a different shade of the same hue, such as painting the molding off-white and the walls a crisp white, is also trending. Especially if your house has impressive moldings or beautiful paned windows, this is an easy way to highlight your home’s best features.

Ceilings Are the New Accent Wall
This year, the forgotten fifth wall is getting a long-awaited makeover as more designers are considering wallpaper, wood paneling, and unexpected paint colors for the ceiling. In the 2021 Real Simple Home, interior designer Natalie Papier brought wow-factor to the living room by painting a vibrant gold stripe, in Bugle Call by Valspar, that runs along the ceiling and continues onto the faux built-in shelves. The sunny hue lights up the room and encourages the eye to travel up to the ceiling.
