Interior designer Sandra Asdourian agrees, noting that the density of black offers a sense of grounding and permanence. Contrasting with a crisp white adds lightness and creates balance. L.A.-based interior designer Jaqui Seerman seconds this trend, calling out rich taupe a la Farrow & Ball’s Skimming Stone as one of her favorites for autumn. “Its deeper tones create a dreamy bedroom suite that’s still light enough for late fall mornings,” she says. “We love this as a full envelope moment—paint your ceiling, walls, base, and casings for a modern twist on an early ’90s classic.”
