When we talk about a home being "warm" it can mean a few different things—warmth might come from firey colors like reds and oranges, it may include layered or patterned textiles, or it can refer to a more elusive, hard-to-define quality that makes a home feel welcoming and cozy.
These things aren't mutually exclusive; they often go hand in hand. Mixing together textiles from different cultures, places, and shops can go a long way towards warming up a home, both literally and figuratively. Here are a few colorful, patterned throws, quilts, tablecloths, and rugs that we like.

Commercial Flour Sa...
love those first throws, but no longer available! It says underneath, NEW. hmmmm
love the textures!
Thanks for featuring a product from Ten Thousand Villages! They sell beautiful home decor items all fairly traded, handmade by people in disadvantaged countries in Asia, Africa and Central and South America. It's about time we recognize that we can get great products and still be supportive of positive business practices and a great cause! I bought all of my Christmas presents there this year and was really happy with everything I got.
Yeah, the Pottery Barn throws are not being offered. Is this a repeat article?
Hmmm, sorry about the Pottery Barn link. When I wrote the post yesterday, they were available. They are still listed as a new item, so they may have sold out.
