November Interior Picks: Warm Layers, Functional Decor & Lighting

Written by Hannah Morris | Nov 3, 2025 4:30:00 PM

November is here, and in Seattle, that means slower mornings, cozier evenings, and the unofficial start of blanket season (yay!). If you’re ready to lean into all things soft, layered, and warm - getting your home ready for hosting, hibernating, and those in-between moments, then you’ll love what our Interior Designer, Annie, picked out to make your space feel a little cozier, and a lot more lived-in.

Layered Throws

It's that time of the year when blankets are no longer optional (it's an absolute requirement). Whether you’re curling up with a book or just want your sofa to feel extra inviting, a throw adds warmth—both literally and visually. This Ezcaray Matisse Throw brings bold color and a touch of personality, while the Cozy Boucle Throw from Boll & Branch has that soft, cloud-like feel you won’t want to share. For a more structured, tailored look, try the Asbury Wool Throw from Room & Board. Want something with a heritage feel? The Copper Lambswool Blanket or Zara’s Check Blanket with Fringing are great options to casually drape across a bed or armchair.

 

Accent Pillows

The cooler, Seattle weather is a perfect excuse to swap in deeper colors and heavier textures. Think wool, suede, or even a touch of mohair. We love the Ingrid Wool Geometric Pillow from Anthropologie for its subtle pattern and warm tones, and the Gathered Suede Pillow from CB2 adds a sleek, grounded contrast. Need something that’s quietly luxe? The Mohair Pillow in Bronze from Hawkins New York brings in color without being loud.



Stone & Ceramic Accents

Cooler months call for grounding materials. Stone and ceramic pieces—like trays, candle holders, or sculptural vases—feel right at home this time of year. The Alma Vase from Soho Home makes a subtle statement with its deep tone and elegant shape. Looking for something minimalist? The Irregular Ceramic Vase from Zara Home or the Brutalist Candle Holder from Hawkins are perfect for open shelving or styled trays.

 

Natural Wood Side Tables

Adding a wood side table is one of the easiest ways to bring warmth into your space. They’re functional and sculptural all at once. The Hila Side Table feels modern and grounding, while the Monarch Side Table from Denver Modern leans a bit more classic. For something a little more rustic and raw, the Root Wood Cube Table from Zara Home has great presence and texture.

 

Lighting That Sets the Tone

The days are shorter and the need for ambient lighting is real! This is the season to soften your lighting and lean into pieces that glow, not glare. We love the Bobbin Table Lamp for its playful form and timeless base, while the Marnie Linen Lamp from West Elm adds subtle texture. Floor lamps like the Kern Lamp or the Unlacquered Brass Lamp are ideal for living rooms, reading nooks, or guest rooms that need a cozy upgrade.

 

Bedding Two Ways: Warm & Cool

The easiest seasonal update? Switching up the layers in your bedroom. Whether you lean toward earthy neutrals or cooler, spa-like tones, a few thoughtful swaps go a long way.

Warm Tones



Think cozy, earthy, and inviting. Start with a Linen Duvet in Ivory, add softness with Espresso Brushed Cotton Sheets, and build depth with an Umber Cotton Blanket from Brooklinen. Top it off with a Rust Waffle Wool Throw and a long lumbar pillow like the Candy Stripe Frazada for that perfectly undone, but intentional, look.

Cool Tones

If your space skews lighter or more minimal, this look is all about softness and simplicity. Start with Steel Blue Percale Sheets and layer on a Stitched Ivory Quilt from CB2. The Chambray Knit Throw adds texture at the foot of the bed, and Ficus Green Velvet Shams bring in a subtle, rich contrast. Add a lumbar like the Lee Heirloom Pillow and you're done.

 

Looking to take it a step further? Our Interior Furnishings Studio is here to help you bring it all together—layered, functional, and entirely tailored to how you live. Whether you’re refreshing a single space or ready for a full home update, we’d love to help make your space feel just right (and extra cozy) this season.
