Rich aubergines, smokey charcoals, hand-warming espressos, and deep, luxurious blues - these are the colors I gravitate towards as winter approaches. Colors that have the ability to warm, shelter and embrace. Dark, moody hues, full of drama and mystery...

These sofas represent the comfort that can be found when one is nestled among the shadows, enveloped in lush and soothing fabrics. Their colors speak with quiet, yet opulent, voices and, if you listen, you can hear them whisper: "sit down," "snuggle in," and "stay awhile."
