Brigette Romanek, Tiffany Thompson, and Others Share Their Fall Mood Boards – Architectural Digest

Just in time for the onset of autumn, AD PRO asked industry creatives to share their latest mood boards. From landscape designer Margie Grace's au naturel palette to the monochrome chicness of Kelly Hoppen's current inspirations to Tiffany Thompson's thoughtful reflection on a forthcoming Minnesota residential project, read on for insights into the materials, products, and hues inspiring designers this fall season.

Tiffany Thompson, Duett Interiors

This fall palette was inspired by Yakushima, an island in Japan that is deeply wooded and dense, while still giving a seductive feel. Im working on a project in Minnesota that combines the rustic and deep tones of the Midwest with a Japanese inspiration and philosophy.

The palette has a variety of textures, including a leathered texture finish on a black Brazilian quartzite and a shou sugi bantreated black oak paired with the softness of the Japanese linen. There are rich Italian leathers, Roman clay paints that are soft hues of autumn, high-pile shags paired with dried willow branches, and other foliage from nature.

My favorite addition is a special finish by a Darril Otto that mimics metal. Its so beautiful and it adds a distinct feel. My aim with this mood board is to take on the very nature of fall, generating a distinctive emotional response to the seasonal shift. As the precursor to the likely harshness of winter, fall is one of our most emotional seasons. I am leading with natural materials celebrated in their most unique way.

Some people say there are no seasons in Los Angeles, but no matter where I am in the world, the day after Labor Day, I feel a visceral shift toward fall all around me. With the onset of shorter days, warm colors, and the changing quality of the light, I gravitate toward soft, textured fabrics and rich amber huesdreamy year-round, but never better than in the fall! The relationship between indoor and outdoor, nature and livable functionality inspires all of my work, and never more than during this season when I love to play off of the warm, glowing quality of the afternoon light, mixing metals and other warm, reflective materials into my design.

To me, the dialogue between harder metallic surfaces, rich hues, and cozy textiles creates the perfect combination of comfort and sophistication, drawing from the beauty we see outside to create interior environments where we want to curl up with a blanket and never want to leave.
