This fall, everyone is looking for a color scheme that is cozy enough to invite the coming season, but also versatile enough to look stylish year-round. Jennifer Lopez‘s living room nails it.
The actress and singer took to Instagram to share the inside of her Hidden Hills home, and the living room color pairing of sage and cinnamon is both cocooning and long-lasting.
Her space features light green walls, burnt orange curtains (I loved these striped ones from Anthropologie as a patterned alternative), and a light brown rug that create ultimate warmth. Accents like a wooden pedestal and mahogany piano add a sense of timeless luxury.

Jennifer’s eclectic picks push the boundaries of classic fall color schemes for a look that feels much more layered and functional.
Furthermore, Jennifer isn’t the only one looking towards a sage and cinnamon color pairing to set the tone for the season. Paint brand Dulux selected ‘Soulful Sage‘ as its Color of the Year for 2027. It indicates a shift away from the darker colors of years past back towards a lighter take on cozy colors.
‘There’s something wonderfully uplifting about green,’ explains Dulux’s Creative Director and Color Expert, Marianne Shillingford.
‘It’s the color we instinctively associate with nature, new growth and the feeling of taking a deep breath outdoors.’
As seen through the sage green walls in JLO’s living room, these light shades are again gaining popularity because they can be easily adapted around the space. Marianne states: ‘It’s also incredibly versatile. Soulful Sage can feel warm and nurturing alongside earthy tones, peaceful and restorative with quieter shades, or fresh and energizing with more joyful colors.’
Recreate JLo’s Look at Home
Use warm, inviting shades to create a living room that feels just as cozy as JLO’s. These are our editor-approved picks for replicating her look on any budget.
JLO keeps her living room inviting with pretty cinnamon colored curtains, and these are the perfect pick. They coordinate gorgeously with natural wood, making them the ideal choice for an elegant space.
This beautiful vase is available in sage green, one of the biggest color trends of the year. It’s ideal for adding a pop of color and an interesting shape to your coffee table, and you can add your fall foliage to it to emulate JLO’s look.
Artificial Eucalyptus Stems
A few dark stems in a pretty vase add instant fall energy to your living room. In the spring, they can be swapped out for fresh flowers.
JLO painted her living room walls sage green for an unexpected splash of color. This pretty shade from lick is absolutely ideal for creating a similar look.
Pierce & Ward Burl Wood Round Bistro Table
This burlwood side table has a bit more personality than a classic pedestal while maintaining the traditional feel of JLO’s living room. It’s a great pick if you want something novel and design-led, yet accessible.
This warm, autumnal rug is perfect for infusing your living room with chocolate brown, aubergine, and touches of orange spice. The intricate pattern and timeless design add warm, classic energy to any space.
What’s the best way to make these colors feel fresh, rather than like old news? Layer them with warm neutrals. In JLO’s living room, darker orange and brown provide a stylish contrast, and this approach is easy to recreate.
Starting with colors that appear naturally outside is a great place to begin. Design expert Chloe Dacosta recommends: ‘A great way to add warmth and personality to a space, whilst still remaining versatile, earthy tones inspired by nature will be huge this autumn. Think burnt orange, cinnamon, deep brown, and mossy green; it’s about bringing the outside in. As we’ve seen over the last couple of years, biophilic design is becoming a bigger and bigger pillar of interior décor, and this trend is all about embracing the cozier, moodier aspect of this design style.’
Furthermore, though incorporating orange shades like JLO’s curtains feels like a bold choice, they are gaining traction as an interior design trend this season.
Chloe advises: ‘Opt for a bolder shade like pumpkin spice to really bring this trend to life in your space, pairing a snuggly texture and cozy tone to create a beautifully stylish piece perfect for embracing statement earthy tones in your home.’
This season, instead of going darker with your interior design scheme, bring warmth into the space. A sage-and-cinnamon scheme is a great place to start.
