It’s September, and that means fall is officially here. And though your mind probably goes to mustards, oranges, and deep reds when you hear “fall color scheme,” Reese Witherspoon may just change your entire fall decor setup.

“And just like that, we’re ready for fall!” Witherspoon captioned an August 31 Instagram video in which she and her friend, art director Colson Horton, decorated Reese’s store, Draper James, in Nashville.

Witherspoon and Horton fall-ified the outdoor space in front of Draper James’ gorgeous navy blue door — and a cool blue for fall all of the sudden makes so much sense.

Introducing a deep blue to your autumn color scheme adds a layer of depth and coziness. The dark navy allows your lighter yellows, oranges, and reds to pop, creating further warmth in your space. But if you don’t want to commit to painting your front door a Draper James-inspired navy, there are simpler ways to incorporating navy into your fall decor.
