Cozy Meets Luxe

Fall is when life naturally slows down.

The air gets crisp, evenings come earlier, and suddenly we’re all craving cozy nights in. For us, autumn is the season to lean into cozy interior design—without ever compromising sophistication. We like to think of it as “cozy meets luxe.” Here are some of our favorite ways to create cozy retreats at home this fall.

Fireplaces as Focal Points

We love designing fireplaces in the fall. Whether sleek and modern or traditional with ornate millwork, they instantly become the heart of the home.

Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to carry stone all the way up to the ceiling—it creates a dramatic focal point that anchors the entire room.

For clients who want to elevate the atmosphere of their existing fireplace, we suggest updating the fire screen, hanging a new piece of art above the mantle, or styling a low ottoman nearby for lounging.

To truly embrace the season, we love framing a mantle with oversized branches arranged in a sculptural vase—something you can easily source from your favorite local nursery.

Bedrooms That Cocoon

As the season shifts, we like to turn bedrooms into true sanctuaries. Our go-to is layering textures—think a cashmere throw at the end of the bed, velvet accent pillows, and crisp white sheets paired with a heavier duvet. We also love grounding a room with a soft, warm-toned area rug; nothing feels more indulgent than stepping onto it on a chilly morning.

Small, thoughtful swaps go a long way. Switch out lightweight summer lampshades for linen or burlap versions, or add dimmable bedside lighting to create a cocooning glow.

Bringing Nature In

We like to celebrate the fleeting beauty of fall by weaving natural elements into interiors. Instead of filling every surface, we focus on a few bold gestures—like a ceramic vase with golden branches in the entryway, a grouping of heirloom gourds on the kitchen island, or rich-colored florals in a powder room vase to create a warm, natural welcome for guests.

When styling with pumpkins, we recommend skipping the bright orange and opting for elevated varieties—white, taupe, or speckled—that feel chic and timeless. And remember to consider scale when arranging art or decor. An oversized branch arrangement can make a bigger impact than lots of smaller items scattered throughout the room.

True luxury is about more than appearance—it’s about how your home makes you feel.

This fall, embrace the idea of cozy interior design meets luxe. With layered textures, natural elements, and just a few thoughtful seasonal updates, your home can feel like the retreat you’ll never want to leave.
