Designers say these 5 materials are a must for creating a cozier home – here’s where to shop them this season

A modern living room with a white couch, mustard yellow curtains, a wooden sideboard, a black and white rug, and a gold-leafed plant.

When it comes to updating your home going into cozy season, it's not all about the colors you pick, or the style of decor you incorporate; designers say that the key to coziness this fall is all about materials.

All cozy decorating ideas start with proper material selections. The materials you select (and the textures they create) not only impact a room's atmosphere, but also how you feel in it. I'll give you an example: imagine walking into a home with marble floors, marble walls, and plastic furniture. The space probably feels quite cold and uninviting, right? That's all because of the material choices and the lack of tactile appeal. But a room filled with layers of wood, rattan, wool, and bouclé? That instantly feels warm and welcoming.
