Want to add warmth and personality to your space this fall? One of the most meaningful ways to cozy up your home is by incorporating local art and textiles. Not only do these pieces bring texture and color, but they also tell a story—connecting your space to the community and the makers behind the work. Here are five inspiring ways to make your home feel more inviting with locally crafted touches.
A New Throw Blanket
Throw blankets are one of the easiest ways to instantly add warmth, texture, and a fresh seasonal feel to any room. Drape one over the arm of a sofa, the foot of a bed, or even a favorite reading chair to create an inviting, layered look. Choose rich, earthy tones or soft, woven textures to reflect the mood of the season—and don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns for a more collected, cozy vibe. Not only do they keep you warm on chilly evenings, but they also act as effortless décor updates that can be swapped out with the seasons.
Stillwater Studio always has a great selection of throw blankets in stock. All different types of textures, colors, and prints! It’s always a must stop when you you come out to the shop. She carries a wide variety of home decor pieces as well!
