Now that fall is here and the weather is changing, I’m seeing one of the biggest design trends for fall hit the store shelves in mass.  Typically seen in sweaters, scarves and gloves, Cable Knits are now making a statement in home décor.  Outside of the plaid trend that’s going on, I absolutely love the idea of cable knits because of the warmth and coziness it immediately adds to a room.  Here’s a little inspiration on this trend to get you in the mood for a little R & R this weekend.  Enjoy and have a great weekend!

I just added a cable knit throw to the bed in my guest room and love the texture it adds to the bedding.  HomeGoods has a great selection of pillows and throws if you are in the market.

Cable Knit pillows are the perfect fall touch for a sofa or chair.

I don’t know how I feel about this slipcovered knit lamp but given the right room décor it could be pretty fabulous.

Classic and timeless!

A fun little accent and an easy DIY project too!

This collection from Pottery Barn is so perfect for the fall and holiday season.  My favorite is the red and cream fair-isle knit blanket.

I really can’t tell you how much I’m loving this Sweater Weather floor tile from FLOR. Just imagine how great this must feel under your feet.

These images definitely have me longing for some time on the sofa especially since I’m feeling a bit under the weather at the moment.  Unfortunately my down time won’t happen until Sunday evening but when the time comes you’ll find me under my cable knit blanket with a cup of tea!

So what do you think of this fall design trend?  And more importantly do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?
