It was in the 80s this past weekend, and I am over it! I’m ready for fall. Fall weather (looking forward to not sweating when I walk outside), fall fashions (hello sweaters), starting a fire, baking, slowing down, and hibernating. I love the crisp air, the leaves turning, and the immense guilt I feel in the summer if I miss one opportunity to socialize or soak up the sun LEAVING my body. At this point, I’m fantasizing about moving to Antarctica and living an Igloo with Penguins in chic MaxMara coats. It better be 60’s soon or Punky will need to learn how to become a sled dog.
Crisp, cool days have me craving cozy, warm interiors. I find myself gravitating towards warm colors (not loud though), warm materials (wood, sherpa, boucle, sisal, velvet), and rooms that feel like a familiar blanket.
Here are some rooms I’m currently drawn to…
1. I love the warmth of the painting, table, and velvet chairs. The unexpected red light fixture is a lovely touch. / / Billy Cotton (designer), Stephen Kent Johnson (image)
2. This feels so warm and homey. The eclectic shelves, copper pots, warm wood countertops, and art filled kitchen. / / Daniel Slowik & Benedict Foley (designers), Boz Gagovski (image)
3. The walls and the marble are so warm and cozy to me. If they floors aren’t heated, they feel like they are through this picture. And the sun light fixture warms me up right away too. / / Laura Gonzalez (designer), Jerome Galland (image)
4. I could curl up in this room for hours. It’s bright, it’s cozy, it’s not too fussy. I love the exposed wood beams and the wood stacked in the corner for the fireplace, which no doubt brings this room to life on a crisp fall day. / / Angelica Squire (designer), Christopher Horwood (image)
5. I adore this room. I love the warm orange touches (I don’t even like orange), the leather, and the sheepskin. The juxtaposition between the old wood beams and the contemporary furniture is exquisite. / / Kari McCabe (designer), Joel Sanders (image)
6. Cozy and delicious. The rug, the chair, and the beautiful whites/creams. I love a white room and how you can transform it with textures and different shades of white/creams. / / Rachael Gowdridge (designer), Christopher Horwood (image)
