Creating a home with a neutral palette that allows for changes during the seasons and holidays, is a dream scenario. Here's some base colors for your home to be neutral and some ways you easily switch a few things out for the seasons, in this case, autumn.
When setting up a neutral home with creams, whites, tans, grays, light browns, black - if you add texture, it becomes complex and less flat. Consider materials like straw, rattan, grasscloth, burlap, fur, metal, wood, mesh, silk, and three-dimensional surfaces.
Now, when seasons come and go, small add on's will bring about holidays, summer, winter, fall, springtime. Look to change things like flower arrangements in a summer fireplace, twigs in a vase, pine cones, shells, candles.
Bring color in by adding sofa pillows, lap blankets, decorative bowls with seasonal items, like Christmas candies, pine cones, seashells, candy corn, driftwood, sea glass....
Plaids in earth tones are great for fall.
Trees/white/snowflake/green/red for winter.
Florals in pastels for springtime.
Bright colors for summer.

Try and add dots of color throughout, such as put down a patterned rug, then the colors in the rug are used in a vase on a table, pillows on a sofa, a vase in a windowsill.
With a good neutral base, the house transforms easily and economically per season or holiday.
