Embrace a Cozy Color Palette
Autumn’s beauty comes alive through its colors, and your home can reflect that same richness. Think deep rust, earthy terracotta, golden ochre, forest green, and warm neutrals.

Layer in Warm Textures
Texture is the secret to cozy. Incorporate chunky knit throws, plush velvet pillows, linen table runners, or a soft wool rug to add dimension and warmth. Mixing textures - smooth ceramics alongside nubby fabrics or natural woods, this creates a tactile richness that feels inviting and lived-in. Don’t be afraid to layer: a wool blanket draped over a leather chair or a stack of textured cushions on a sofa instantly feels seasonal.

Tip: Size up the pillow insert from the pillow cover by 2” so it feels nice and full. For example: 18x18 pillow cover, get a 20x20 insert. Also, have variation in size and style in your pillow stack.
