IKEA designer suggests layering principles for cozy autumn homes

As autumn approaches, interior design experts suggest using the layering principle to create a cozier home environment before the official heating season begins.

Morta Bučinskienė, head of the interior design department at IKEA, recommends making small, affordable changes through textiles, lighting, and furniture arrangement. Key suggestions include using rugs to warm up cold floors in high-traffic areas and layering textiles such as throws, cushions, and curtains to add texture and warmth to living spaces. These seasonal adjustments allow a room to transition from a bright summer feel to a warmer, more comfortable autumn atmosphere.
