Let's Get Cozy

As you are getting ready for the holidays and changing your closet over to all your favorite cozy sweaters and wool coats, it’s a great time to do the same for your house. We love the clean fresh look of linens and cottons in the summer, but we also equally love the transition into cozier fabrics like velvets, knits and furs. Here are some suggestions to incorporate these looks and textures into your home:

Switch up colors, or add to what you have with a fur or velvet pillow.  One of my favorite pillows is the Oly velvet popcorn pillows. They come in a variety of beautiful colors, and I find it hard to resist that quilted stitching!

I love having these new pieces in the store from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams - they also come in bench size too. It’s an amazing accent at the end of a bed or in an entry.

Using these fabrics creates a look that you can keep throughout the year. They pair well with your linens and add a little bit of luxe all year round.
