Ombre Patterns


As the fertility of summer leaves fades away, Mother Nature is gradually remodeling her leafy color schemes to those of varying degrees of reds, ochres, and hazels.

To echo the rustic integrity of nature, one may integrate the style of Autumn Ombre tones as bringing a cozy and naturalistic setting to any home.

Ombre-the gradual fading affect of colors- is shown through the sunsets and sunrises, ocean and beach decors that come to radiate an almost perfectionist simplicity despite its gradual array of colors.


A Martha Stewart Ombre Pendant lamp is formed with layers of cotton to create a gradual and warm translucence. The simple structure forms a centralized fixture combined with a sleek and cylindrical shape to maintain a prosaic balance. However, the ochre pattern commands a presence that reproduces the invigorating sepia glow of sunlight through autumn leaves.


The fluctuation of single or various pigments can create an effervescent environment with the space in which you live. Complimenting ombre patterns with similar hues in other household objects can create a sense of balance in an entire room, but it will also magnify the prominent variety of shades. Antiques embellished in ombre can not only enhance the natural flow of color, but give an aging and rustic pulchritude a modern elegance.

While some may like to vary the dimensions and vibrancy of some patterns, ombre fluctuates smoothly from each changing color to create a mood of tranquil evolution in a given object’s design. The patterns and color ranges from a minimalist one toned hues to an inventive take on nature’s ever changing qualities of seasons.
