Trend Spotting: Luxe Textiles and Textures for Fall and Winter

As the world of interior design constantly evolves, it's essential to keep an eye on the latest trends. In the realm of home decor, luxe textures and textiles are making a big statement. At Lavender Fields, we've been quick to embrace this opulent trend, and can't wait to show you our latest finds that we've added to the shop. 

Trending Velvet Throw Blankets

Velvet has long been associated with luxury: centuries ago, it was reserved for the aristocracy due to its rarity and cost of production. Nowadays, velvet is much easier to find and is much more affordable than it was in the 14th century, when it traveled the Silk Road to its destination. 

Velvet can be made from many fabrics: silk, synthetics, mohair cotton, even linen. Most velvets are made from cotton or a blend of base fabrics. True silk velvet is very expensive and can be recognized by its signature sheen; real mohair velvet is extremely plush and almost indestructible. Cotton velvet has a shorter pile but is no less sturdy or beautiful. 

Our collection of velvet throws, pillows, and bedding is the epitome of plush comfort and style. For fall, holiday, and winter, you can add a lot of warmth and a lot of glamour to your space with a velvet coverlet, blanket, or decorative pillow.

Luxurious Cashmere Robes:

When it comes to luxury, nothing beats the indulgence of cashmere. Cashmere is made by shearing a specific breed of goat once their hair grows long enough. The ultra-fine fibers are then cleaned, sorted, and spun into a supremely-light, extra-soft yarn. Though cashmere is a type of wool, it's the finest, softest lightest-weight wool, making it ideal for a warm but not bulky robe. 

Lavender Fields' cashmere bathrobes and dressing robes are the epitome of comfort and elegance. They offer an unparalleled level of coziness, making them perfect for leisurely mornings, spa days, or just unwinding in style after a long day.

Faux Fur Throw Blankets: 

Faux fur is an ideal choice for adding a touch of opulence to your decor without compromising on ethics. Our faux fur collection includes cushions, throws, and even rugs. These pieces offer the look and feel of real fur without harm to animals, making them a stylish and conscious choice for the environmentally aware homeowner (they're also much more budget-friendly than the real thing).

Quilted Blankets and Coverlets:

Quilting has made a resurgence in the world of interior design, and Lavender Fields' collection of quilted blankets and coverlets is a testament to this trend. These pieces add depth and texture to your bedding, offering both warmth and visual interest. Whether you prefer classic patterns or modern designs, our selection has something for every taste.

The beauty of incorporating these luxe textures and textiles into your home is that they effortlessly elevate any space. They exude comfort, elegance, and an inviting ambiance that's perfect for the fall and winter seasons. The key to a successful decor update is to find the right balance between comfort and style, and our' collection is designed to do just that.
