From the hot red hue of grenadine to the rainbow glimmer of holographic style, the unexpected details are surprising, festive, and perfect for illuminating your interior as the first days of fall roll in.

Grenadine

Grenadine: it’s more than a sweet syrup used in mixed drinks. It’s also one of the fall’s hottest colors! While grenadine has definitely made waves on the runway, there’s no reason it shouldn’t flourish in our interiors, adding a vibrant pop of color.
