Blush
We still can't get over the effortless elegance of a blush sofa—couple it will a velvet finish and you have a serious showstopper. In this modern living room, a monochromatic palette sets an ideal backdrop, allowing the sofa to stand in as a subtle color accent, without overpowering the surrounding decorative elements of the room.

L.A.-based pregnancy and wellness center LOOM definitely tops our list as one of the more stunning spaces we've seen in a while. Completely whitewashed, the center is composed of a palette of muted hues, mango wood accents and an abundance of light, resulting in an understated aesthetic that's effortlessly chic. The subtle hints of blush spotted throughout help downplay the intensity of both the striking whitewash and the darker tones found within the stools and table legs.

Rattan made a comeback this year, and artist Carly Jo Morgan's blush interpretation of the trend leaves little else to be desired. It's, at the least, a refreshing take on the classic style—especially when paired with cozy textures and graphic decorative details. Here, an eclectic mix of patterns inspires a worldly detail to the decor, while a muted color palette provides a dynamic accent against the rustic walls.

Velvet
It's the quintessential material of the season—seriously, fall and velvet were made for one another. More often than not, it'll come in the form of a striking sofa or chair of a vibrant palette, and we wouldn't have it any other way. In this Australian living room, a bold blue rules, stealing the spotlight from the neutral backdrop.
