As the November chill sets in, it’s the perfect time to turn your home into a haven of warmth and comfort. At Maltby’s of Chester, we’re seeing a shift towards trends that layer textures, deepen tones, and create a sense of quiet luxury. Here’s our guide to transforming your home into the ultimate cosy retreat this season.

Embrace ‘Quiet Luxury’ with Layered Textures
One of the defining trends this winter is quiet luxury—a style that mixes elegance with warmth through layered, high-quality materials. Consider adding soft, heavy-textured linens, brushed wool throws, or plush carpets in neutral, earthy hues. These rich textures not only add depth and warmth to any space but create a relaxing atmosphere, making every room feel like a private retreat from the cold.

Velvet Drapery: A Touch of Luxe and Warmth
Nothing says comfort quite like the feel of velvet. Velvet drapery brings both visual and tactile warmth to your rooms. The thick, sumptuous fabric not only helps insulate against drafts but also adds a rich, dramatic vibe that feels soft and cosy. Deep shades like forest green or midnight blue are especially popular, creating a striking focal point, while softer tones can keep the room light and airy but still wonderfully warm.

Stripes and Soft Buttery Yellows
Adding a touch of soft buttery yellow can brighten even the darkest November days. This warm tone is ideal for rooms with plenty of natural light, and when paired with timeless stripes, it brings a cheerful, balanced feel. You might consider striped curtains or throws that incorporate shades of grey and yellow for a look that’s inviting, understated, and effortlessly cosy.

Soft Carpets Underfoot
There’s nothing quite like the comfort of a soft carpet beneath your feet during the winter months. Wool blends and plush carpets in neutral shades can ground a space, adding a feeling of warmth and welcome. Layering is key here, too; try placing a smaller patterned rug over a larger carpet in living spaces to bring extra texture and character while adding comfort.

Curtain & Blind Combos for Style and Function
For a functional and stylish option, try layering curtains over blinds. Roman blinds paired with velvet or heavy linen drapes create a beautiful look with practical benefits—keeping   warmth in and cold out. This layered approach is a sophisticated way to style windows, enhancing both the aesthetics and comfort of your home.
