Behind the Board: Creating Our Fall Mood Board

Every season tells a story—and for us, fall is a chapter full of warmth, texture, and nostalgia. At Artisan Home & Heritage, fall is one of our favorite seasons, and we always look for ways to make it feel extra special. This year, we’ve been having fun curating mood boards to welcome the season with intention. Our Living Room Fall Mood Board is more than just colors and materials—it’s a feeling.

Where We Begin

Our mood boards always start with a feeling—tapping into what we want to invite in during the season ahead. For fall, we thought about what makes this time of year meaningful to us. A few things that come to mind: the crisp morning air, the scent of homemade soup simmering on the stove, and the sound of leaves crunching underfoot.

We pulled together elements that reflect that cozy shift—earthy oranges, soft browns, aged metals, timeworn textures, and heirloom-inspired patterns.

These boards act as a compass for styling, sourcing, and storytelling across both our interiors and collections.

The Details We Chose

This living room board blends rustic textures with soft, modern touches:
— Woven baskets and warm wood grains
— Layered linens and cozy textiles
— A rich palette of amber, walnut, and soft cream

It’s designed to feel collected, grounded, and just a little romantic. Just like fall.

Why Mood Boards Matter

Mood boards are at the heart of our design process—whether we’re creating a full room mockup or a simple seasonal refresh. They help clarify the vision before anything else. For our clients, it’s often the moment the project clicks into focus. For us, it’s the creative blueprint.

We use mood boards to guide our interior and landscape design packages, seasonal styling, product sourcing, and even brand visuals. They’re a cornerstone of how we shape each story we tell through design.

Bringing the Vision to Life

This board isn’t just for show—it’s already inspired our fall mantel styling, our color palette for upcoming product launches, and even a few cozy updates around our own home.

We styled our mantel with vintage books in warm fall hues, layered in wooden accents and string lights, and added a handmade wicker piece we recently thrifted to finish off the look. It came together simply, but beautifully—and it all started with the board.
