Finely handcrafted and sustainable wood furniture is not only stunning to look at, but friendlier for the environment too. This increasingly popular trend to support more eco-conscious manufacturing is one we’re happy to say is gathering momentum with each passing year; in fact, many of our own workshop partners prioritize FSC-certified wood sourced from responsibly managed forests. While handcrafted wood furniture is a particularly ideal aesthetic any time of year, it feels especially comforting during the fall and winter months. Look out for pieces made with natural hardwoods, which showcase the unique grain and coloring nuances of the timber. Combined with expert craftsmanship and sustainable harvesting, these heirlooms are sure to bring a sense of nature’s calming peace to any room in your home. 

Our interior designers love mixing textures and fabrics to create a cozy, more inviting feel. A perfect way to incorporate the Danish concept of "Hygge," or slow-living into everyday life, a creative mix-and-matching of contrasting textures can highlight the sensory experience of home surroundings, which often makes us feel more relaxed and present in our space. Try it for yourself with everything from furniture upholstery and handwoven rugs, to accent pillows and throw blankets. Got your eye on some decadent velvet or leather, but concerned your lifestyle may require something more durable and easy to clean? You’re in luck! Many of our most luxurious textures are also available as performance fabrics, which offer much easier maintenance without having to sacrifice on beauty.

One of our top designer trends of 2024 that seems to translate effortlessly from season to season is the preference for curved silhouettes, rounded edges, and sloping lines. This style element brings a more nature-inspired aesthetic to any room, and can gently offset more structured layouts, and formal design themes with an additional touch of serenity. As we ease into Fall, look for these curves in sofas, chairs, coffee and side tables, or even bedroom sets for a more tranquil, natural feel.

Elegant earth tones have been taking the spotlight this year in general, but for fall, our experts are especially excited about the rich chocolate brown and buttery yellow hues. Whether they’re used for layering textures, upholstering a distinctive accent chair or sofa, or draping color on walls, these warm palettes really seem to complement the season to perfection. Try incorporating golden yellows in areas where you might like to capture more natural light, and consider a deep mocha or coffee brown for an extra dose of comfort and care as you curl up to watch leaves fall outside.

What better way to dream of autumn months than to start planning delicious gatherings of friends and family for hearty holiday meals! This year, there’s a particular emphasis on artisanal and handmade table decor which has a way of extending a more thoughtful, personal, and intentionally unique feel. Things like organic linens, hand-thrown pottery, and handcrafted dining tables can be meaningful investments too, since they’re likely to become cherished pieces that get passed down through generations.
