While summer is all about light and breezy textiles — from sheer ivory lace tablecloths to floaty white sheets — fall is much more about comfort. From the rich, carb-loaded food to the long days spent indoors by a fire — or, in reality, the radiator — fall is awash with cable knit sweaters, fluffy socks and plush blankets. Many want their home’s interior to reflect their personality and aim to make the space intimate and cozy. This is best achieved by adding pillows and throw blankets to couches and armchairs — and maybe laying a high-pile rug beneath each. Focus on functionality, eschewing bejeweled and oddly-shaped decorative pillows in favor of those in slips of faux fur, shearling, velvet, wool and bouclé.
