Warmth

Like Eddard Stark, protagonist of HBO's new drama Game of Thrones, always says:  Winter is coming.  This year, it's going to be a cold and snowy one in Europe and much of the US.  The design world is responding in force with a trend which - at the moment - is very simply being called "Warmth."
Though I'm a philosophic believer in the concepts of minimalism, personally I love a space with more character to it.  As the winter months approach, the appeal of welcoming colors has as well. Wood, rope, tartan and denim are all big at the moment, as well as neutral tones complimented by bolder, warmer colors. 
a classic coffee table brings a sense of home

Eastvold's Classic Coffee Table represents a chic, retro look with modern sensibilities.  Entirely handcrafted in the United States from ethically harvested lumber.  The classic design and dark wood maintain a homey aesthetic.
elegant and classic
This chair by KOI is made of top-grade leathers stitched in italy atopa nickle base.  The real appeal of this chair is it's sheer breadth of range.  The chair can fit in styles ranging rustic or euro-chic to mid-century modern. 
just the right amount of flair to cuddle under
Spun in England, dyed and knitted in Wales, this UK-delight, Donna Wilson does right by blankets.  The variety of colors open the blanket up to tie together disparate parts of the room's design. 
oh-so welcoming
Made from incredibly high quality cowhide from Argentina, these Doppio Cowhide Rugs are precisely the warm, dark tones that your living space craves.

While the weather starts to get frightful, we're looking forward to spending many-a-day warming up from snowball fights in design as welcoming as that cup of hot-coffee.
