Say hello to your new favorite blanket. The throw is a perfect addition as we move into fall, where it seamlessly blends with this year’s design trends that emphasize rich hues and textural weaves. The rich adobe tone is not only statement-making but it also adds a warm, earthy touch. Plus, it measures 70 x 50 inches, so it’s generously sized to keep you warm and snug during cooler nights.

The key to putting together a gorgeous tablescape is keeping the base clean. That means looking to plates that showcase an organic shape (like the ones above). You want to look to modern takes on classic silhouettes—like scalloped edges and freeform rims to hand-carved accents. Not to mention that it’s best to keep larger stoneware pieces white/cream—they make food look amazing.
