Afrohemian was practically made for the colder months. All those warm earthy tones, rich textures, and layered textiles are exactly what a room needs when it’s gray outside. If you want your space to feel like a warm hug all season, here’s how to lean the Afrohemian (some folks say afrobohemian) look into fall and winter.

1. Pile on the layers

This is the season to go heavy. Stack adire throws, woven blankets, and textured cushions on every seat. The more layered it feels, the cozier it reads, and layering is the heart of the whole style anyway.

2. Warm up your palette

Pull the terracotta, rust, ochre, and deep brown tones forward now. Swap out any cool-toned accents for warmer ones and the whole room instantly feels seasonal.

3. Bring in candlelight and warm glow

Group candles on a wooden tray, add warm string lights, and lean on lamps over overhead lighting. That soft golden glow is what makes earthy tones come alive on a dark evening.

4. Add seasonal natural textures

Dried pampas grass, bundles of eucalyptus, a bowl of pinecones in a woven basket. These bring the outdoors in and deepen that grounded Afrohemian feel for the season.

5. Dress the bed for winter

Layer the bed with an adire coverlet, chunky knit throws, and plenty of textured pillows. It turns the bedroom into the coziest spot in the house for the cold months.

Where to start with Afrohemian fall decor

You don’t have to do all five this weekend. Start with one warm layer and one lamp, and build from there. Want more ways to use the fabric at the center of this look? Our guide to styling adire fabric goes up this Friday.
