The falling temperatures and rainy weather this time of year certainly make it even easier to spend time snuggled up at home, so today I’m focusing on cozy winter chairs.  The combination of textural fabrics and deep cushions can create the perfect spot to cozy up with a good book and a cup of tea.

This pair of chaises in the primary bedroom of Madeline Stuart’s Jackson Hole project is so warm and inviting – you can almost hear the crackle of a fire across the room.  Featuring suede-wrapped frames with shearling cushions and fur throw pillows, this cozy set is the perfect place to lounge after a long day in the snow.  The tonal, neutral palette of the space furthers the sense of serenity.  

In Heidi Caillier’s weekend home, the designer used a deep blue plaid fabric on her fireside armchairs for an increased sense of coziness. Keeping with the cabin vibes, this more traditional fabric choice feels fresh on the chair’s modern silhouette and pairs perfectly with the deep, moody color of the walls and fireplace.  

Who says leather can’t be cozy? While it may not be the obvious “cozy” texture choice, the high back, deep seat, and enveloping sides of this cushy swivel chair make a strong case for comfort. As it “breaks in” with age and use, this leather chair is the perfect cozy complement to the warm wood and earthy tile of this minimal, midcentury home by Sherry Williamson Design and Andrew Mann Architecture.

Inherently cozy, shearling has gained popularity in both fashion and home decor in recent years, and this occasional chair by Kelly Wearstler proves it is a trend with real staying power. A great way to add texture and interest while keeping the palette neutral, shearling helps modernize the 70s silhouette of this chair while amplifying its cozy factor. Working from home has never been so appealing!
