Embrace Fall with These Must-Have Home Design Essentials
With summer long gone, it’s time for a seasonal update with cashmere throws, leather bar accessories, velvet throw pillows, and more
Sweater weather may be a quaint colloquialism to signify the transition from summer’s cottons and linens to merinos and silks as the air turns crisp, but these seasonal shifts extend past the closet and touch every room in the house. Cooler days also serve as an invitation to add layers—a cashmere throw here, a leather tray there. With these must-have home design essentials, you’ll be ready for autumn long before it’s time to curl up in front of the fire.
