To help you make the most of this decor-minded forecast, we're focusing on the themes, colors, styles, and materials that designers say will shape our home interiors in the coming months. Whether you're aiming to dip your toe into a fresh look for the season or give your home a warm and cozy makeover, these are the fall trends that are primed for taking 2026 by storm.

Bold color, big personality, and playful details are having a moment as designers dial up the fun this fall.

The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed mortgage crossed over 7% on Thursday for the first time since May 2025, hitting 7.07%, according to Mortgage News Daily. That is an increase of 10 basis points from Wednesday. A basis point equals 0.01%.

The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage crossed over 7% for the first time in more than a year, as home prices continue to rise and sales drop.

The inventory of homes for sale reached the highest level since 2019 and went up 4.7% from last year. More choices and softer prices continue to give buyers negotiating room.

New listings reached their highest level in four years in August, giving buyers more options heading into fall as sellers continue to test the market despite elevated mortgage rates.

Spending on residential construction fell 7.3% from a year ago in July. Less construction could slow future inventory growth, making today's increase in available homes especially important for buyers.

A prodigy rock climber, by age eight he had scaled the face of the 11,627-foot Mount Temple in the Canadian Rockies, and by 17 he was acknowledged to be one of the best climbers in the United States.

In January 1982, after having ascended a difficult technical ice route in Huntington Ravine on Mount Washington in New Hampshire, Hugh Herr and a fellow climber Jeff Batzer were caught in a blizzard and became disoriented, ultimately descending into the Great Gulf where they passed three nights in −29 °C degree temperatures.

By the time they were rescued, the climbers had suffered severe frostbite. Both of Herr’s legs had to be amputated below the knees; his companion lost his lower left leg, the toes on his right foot, and the fingers on his right hand.

While a postdoctoral fellow at MIT in biomedical devices, Herr began working on advanced leg prostheses and orthoses, devices that emulate the functionality of the human leg.

Using specialized prostheses that he designed, he created prosthetic feet with high toe stiffness that made it possible to stand on small rock edges the width of a coin, and titanium-spiked feet that assisted him in ascending steep ice walls.

He used these prostheses to alter his height to avoid awkward body positions and to grab the hand and foot holds previously out of reach. His height could range from five to eight feet.

As a result of using the prostheses, Herr climbed at a more advanced level than he had before the accident, making him the first person with a major amputation to perform in a sport on par with elite-level, able-bodied persons.

Now you might say that Hugh Herr had a problem or a challenge, but he found a solution. Every day we see people who have problems and every day we see people who create solutions, no matter the problem. Are you dwelling on the problem or creating a solution? ~ Akanksha Prabhune

As days get shorter and outdoor temperatures begin to dip, it's time to transition our homes from summer to fall. "The 'closing shift' of the summer is really about tackling a few small tasks now that can help prevent bigger headaches once colder weather arrives," says Angie Hicks, the co-founder of the leading digital home services marketplace Angi. From repairing exterior damage caused by summer storms to deep cleaning the areas that worked hard all summer long, our summer closing shift checklist includes all the main tasks to tackle as summer ends and autumn begins.
