To bring these colors into the space, think beyond wall paint colors. Crib bedding, wall art, rugs, and even your mobile can be excellent opportunities to layer fall tones into your room design. There's no need to spend beyond your budget either!  Consider crib sheets in a soft shade of amber (or the fall color that works for you)  with tiny stars, or a changing pad cover in a subtle pumpkin hue. A navy blue glider chair with a golden throw pillow can create a cozy corner that ties everything together.
