French-British fashion designer Nicole Farhi is known for using rich texture in her clothing designs. That love of tactility translates into her line of cozy, mostly-neutral housewares. These photos of her London shop are the perfect jumping-off point for fall and winter decorating. The style is all about layering with textiles, soft light, and natural materials.

Stacks of pillows and throws decorate a bookshelf, ready to be pulled down and used at any moment. Other places to stack blankets in the home include a side chair, a side table, or a bench.
The shop's neutral background allows collections (like the assortments of mirrors and candles) to stand out without appearing cluttered.
Open shelving showcases dishes in earth tones: yellows, pale greens, deep browns. Stained in a rich brown, the shelves also fit in with the shop's cozy sensibility.
Accessories are layered throughout the shop: candles, mirrors, soft lamps, pillows, throws, and vases full of flowers.
White walls and floors provide just the right amount of contrast to the wood tones and dark furnishings.
Tablescapes are a quick and easy way to warm up a space. These green glasses and decanter add color and texture to a side table. For product information and more photos, visit nicolefarhi.com.

What a beautifully set up store! While our homes may not look entirely like this of course, it's wonderful inspiration.
