Catherine Zeta-Jones has left little to no stone unturned in the acting world—from portraying Velma Kelly in the screen production of “Chicago” to starring in the critically acclaimed Broadway show “A Little Night Music.” But just last year, the actress launched herself into the world of design by debuting her exclusive-to-QVC home collection, Casa Zeta-Jones.

Zeta-Jones just launched her fall/winter line last week, including everything from velvet quilts to embossed blankets—which you can catch on QVC today, October 9, starting at 11 a.m. ET (or online whenever you like). To go along with the cozy vibes, we tapped the star for details on what her ideal night would look like—with some of her favorite home items included in the mix.
