Fall 2023 Trend Report: At-home comfort items By Carly McFadden

Welcoming. Inviting. Warm. Relaxing.

These words are often used by people looking to settle into or revamp their homes. A home is much more than brick and mortar; it represents a safe haven for someone to create memories, surround themself with loved ones and find stillness.

Curating a living space that both reflects one’s style and serves as a refuge allows the resident to unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There’s an emotional aspect to creating a home, and retailers play an important role in that by offering items that promote at-home comfort and delight.

Whether shoppers are searching for housewarming presents or simply to treat themselves, products that exude coziness make some of the most thoughtful gifts.
