In this ideabook, I introduce the 7 key pieces used to put together the perfect look when outfitting your home. These smart pieces add function and style all season long:
1. The leather sofa. When buying a leather sofa, you cannot beat the real thing. An investment piece, it will maintain its value and like fine wine, gets better with age. In the winter months, pair it with a fur throw to add a touch of luxury and play on texture.
2. The floor lamp. Turn off the overhead light and set the atmosphere with a magnificent glow. Night comes sooner in the winter months. Floor lamps help to create a relaxing mood and to beat the winter blues.
3. Animal hide rug. Real for faux, these rugs bring warmth and style to bare floors. For added dimension, try layering it atop a sisal rug.
4. The ottoman. The workhorse of accent furniture, the ottoman provides additional seating when entertaining, becomes a relaxing footstool, or acts as a coffee table when coupled with a tray.
5. The nesting tables. A table within a table, within a table, is a magic act you will never grow tired of. These functional space savers instantly provide valuable surface area to hold cocktail plates and beverages.
7. Textured toss pillows. Velvet, chenille, cable knit, burlap, and mohair are all fabrics that satisfy our visual and tactile curiosities for texture. A little goes as long way, so just add a couple of these with your existing pillow mix.
The presence of the velvet eggplant and pumpkin hued pillows signifies that cool, snug-worthy nights are ahead.
