With winter quickly approaching, I'm already dreaming of cozy interiors and sumptuous textures. Furniture and accessories that boast woven or knit detailing are great for introducing effortless style and creating a relaxed atmosphere in any room. They lend a more tactile experience to your home and always feel welcoming, which I think is perfect for colder months. Here are 20 items I wouldn't mind seeing — and feeling — this winter. — Dana from House Tweaking
Easy Chair - $3,395 The woven seat and back give the simple, modern design of this Hans J. Wegner chair a cozy vibe.
Magical Thinking Diamond Kilim Pillow - $52 Opt for woven patterned pillows as opposed to screen-printed alternatives. The added texture enhances the pattern and creates a more tactile experience.
Diamond Stitch Quilt - $199 Dress your bed with enticing textures and layers. I love the quilted topstitching, embroidered sequins and oversize pom-poms on this diamond-stitch quilt. Exquisite!
Looped Diamond Pouf - $249 Use this diamond-pattern pouf as an ottoman or extra seating. Either way, it will add endless coziness.
Carter Cappuccino Round Woven Wastebasket - $25.65 Bathrooms are often slick and shiny. Try adding a woven wastebasket for contrasting texture and warmth. Place a smaller plastic or metal trash can inside for easy cleaning.
Petite Rustique Bamboo Roman Shade - $32.99 Bamboo shades are an easy way to add texture and height to a room. The thinner the reeds, the better. I hung these highly textural shades throughout my home and love the way they look.
Two Ways Mat, Pink - $600 This reversible rug woven from paper yarn allows you to switch up the color scheme of a space depending on your mood. One side is a vibrant pink, and the opposite side is neutral with pink accents.
Chunky Cable-Knit Oversize Throw - $159 Drape a cable-knit throw over a sofa or favorite chair. It will look great and feel even better.
Alseda Stool - $29.99 This inexpensive banana leaf ottoman can be used indoors (I like it in a playroom, nursery or sunroom) or outdoors, weather permitting. You'll get so much texture for so little money!
Paprika and Tan Recycled Woven Coaster/Mug Rug by Dawne's Weavings - $30 These coasters hand crafted from recycled plastic bags are pretty and practical.
Crochet Basket, Natural Linen Rope Cord by Elitai - $40 Small crocheted bowls and baskets offer a pleasing spot for stashing pocket contents or storing produce. Use them on flat surfaces that are prone to clutter.
Silver-Gray Handmade Triangle-Knit Pillow by Elitai - $50 It's like your favorite sweater in the form of a pillow — oh so cozy.
Jamie Young Udaipur Woven Jute Chandelier - $425.91 Hang this curvy jute pendant above a simple table in an eat-in kitchen or a breakfast nook for an intimate dining experience.
Tag 201961 Luxor Woven Stripe 72-Inch Table Runner - $26.50 Spread this nubby cotton and jute runner down the center of a dining table. I love the single dark stripe down the center; it gives it a little drama.
Felted Pot Holders, Floral by Positive Purls - $30 These handmade felted pot holders are a fun way to add color and texture to kitchen countertops.
Innit Designs Zica Table, Black - $196 This is a unique accent table with woven details. It can be used indoors or out — it just needs a tempered glass top.
White-Dipped Barrel Baskets - $59 You can never go wrong with baskets. They corral kid paraphernalia, pet items, blankets, dirty laundry, magazines, mail, shoes — the list goes on and on. And because they're so useful, you might as well make a statement with them. Try dipping the bottoms in paint or painting a playful pattern over the entire basket.
Palm Tree Frond on Green Weaving - $600 If you follow the design world, then you already know that woven wall hangings are making a comeback. To stand out, some artists are incorporating unique materials (such as tree bark) into their weavings. These works of art are great examples of thinking outside the box — er, frame — when it comes to adding texture.
'White Shore' Original Woven Art by Coral Beattie - $29.94 On second thought, framed woven art is pretty awesome too.
Knitted Mug Cozy, Oatmeal Heather by Lilyogini Knits - $10 With colder weather on the horizon, coffee, tea and hot chocolate are must-haves. Keep your mug warm and your fingers happy with one of these knit mug sleeves.
