5 Designer Picks to Bring Warmth Home This Fall

Sep 1, 2026

There’s something about the shift into fall that makes us want to bring a little more warmth into our homes. Richer colors, natural textures, and pieces that make a space feel a little more inviting all start to feel especially right this time of year.

For our September Designer Picks, we’re sharing five pieces our team is loving right now. From a warm-toned sofa to a sculptural floor lamp and a few finishing touches, each selection brings in the colors and textures we’re drawn to this season while still feeling timeless enough to live with well beyond fall.

These are the kinds of pieces we love most: beautiful on their own, but even better when thoughtfully layered into a space.

Marella Sofa: Lulu and Georgia

There’s something so inviting about a sofa that feels both refined and relaxed. We love this piece from Heidi Caillier’s collection for its balance of clean lines and playful detailing. The full fringe skirt adds a nostalgic touch and gives the silhouette a little more character, while the option for bespoke upholstery makes it easy to tailor to the space. It’s a beautiful example of how one statement piece can bring warmth and personality into a room without feeling overly seasonal.

Holloway Floor Lamp: McGee & Co.

Lighting can have such a noticeable impact on the atmosphere of a room, especially as we move into the shorter days of fall. We love the Holloway Floor Lamp for its graceful double-arm silhouette, antique brass finish, and linen shades. It brings a soft, ambient glow while adding a sculptural element that feels collected and timeless.

Louise Hand-Knotted Rug: Serena & Lily

A beautiful rug can instantly ground a space. We love this Serena & Lily selection for its sophisticated pattern. The dusty and muted tones bring warmth without overwhelming the room. Woven in soft wool, it adds another layer of texture while creating a foundation that feels both refined and inviting.

Anya Brown Swirled Resin Catchall Dish: CB2

We love when a small decorative piece can add character without taking over a space. This CB2 catchall features a soft, organic shape. With a glossy finish and natural ivory swirls, there is an added layer of warmth throughout the brown resin. Each piece has its own variation, making it feel a little more collected and unique. It’s an easy finishing touch for a coffee table, console, or entryway.

Jacqueline Brown Handblown Glass Vase: CB2

The perfect vase for those beautiful fall florals, this handblown CB2 piece brings warmth and movement to a space through its rich brown glass and undulating silhouette. We love the substantial feel and subtle variations that come with each being made by hand, making every vase one of a kind. Styled with seasonal branches or flowers, it’s an easy way to bring a touch of fall indoors while still feeling timeless beyond the season.

Bringing Warmth Into Your Home

As we head into a new season, we love finding simple ways to make a home feel warmer and a little more layered. These pieces are a few of our favorites for fall, but the best part is that they can easily live beyond the season. Whether you’re drawn to a rich color, a beautiful texture, or a statement piece that brings a room together, thoughtful selections can make all the difference.

At JLI, we believe the most beautiful spaces are created through intentional choices that reflect the people who live in them. If you’re ready to bring that same thoughtfulness into your own home, we’d love to help you create a space that feels distinctly yours.
