Laurel Winter Collection: Velvet, Brass and Reclaimed Wood

Velvet, aged brass, and reclaimed wood, a full look at what we have been building toward all season

We have spent the last few weeks explaining a feeling before showing you the furniture behind it. Why a home turns inward once the days get shorter. Why burgundy, specifically, is the color carrying that feeling this year. Today the collection itself is fully live, under the name we have been building it around. This is Laurel.

What follows is a real look at the pieces, organized the way we would actually walk you through a room, not a product dump. Start wherever your home needs the most help.

The Seating: Where the Velvet Lives

If one piece explains this whole collection at a glance, it is the gray and antiqued brass velvet tufted armchair. The velvet gives it the plushness we have been talking about all season, and the aged brass detailing keeps it from reading as precious or overdone. It is a chair built to actually be sat in through a long evening, not just admired from across the room.

The beige velvet sofa with dark brown legs carries the same material logic at full scale. Velvet in a lighter, warmer tone, grounded by legs with real presence underneath. The two pieces were built to sit in the same room together, but either one holds its own on its own.

The Tables: Where the History Lives

Furniture can look collected over time, or it can look like it arrived yesterday. The brown reclaimed wood distressed trunk coffee table is firmly in the first category. The wood carries real variation and wear, the kind that comes from having been something else before it became a coffee table, and that quality does a lot of work in a room on its own, no styling required.

The matching brown reclaimed wood frame console table brings the same material story to an entryway or a wall behind a sofa. If you want something a little more formal, the chestnut console with three shelves and three drawers offers real storage alongside the same warm wood tone, a practical option for a room that needs to actually hold things, not just display them.

The Mirrors: Continuing a Detail We Already Love

If you have been reading along since fall, you will recognize the ribbed detailing on the 69" leaning full length mirror. It is the same architectural language that closed out our fall collection, carried forward into winter in a slightly deeper wood tone. The smaller 48" ribbed accent mirror works the same way at a scale that suits a hallway or a smaller wall.

A mirror does something no other object in a room does quite as well in winter specifically: it doubles whatever warm light is already there. In a room lit mostly by lamps and candles rather than overhead fixtures, that matters more than it sounds like it should.

The Light: Candles, Mostly, on Purpose

Lower, warmer light is most of what makes a winter room feel right, and candlelight does that better than almost anything else. The set of two antiqued brass pillar candle holders and the bronze botanical leaf hurricane candle holder are both built with the same aged, matte metal finish that runs through the rest of the collection, so they sit naturally on a console or dining table without needing to match anything exactly.

For something with a bit more scale, the 36" and 30" gold distressed geometric lantern candle holders work well on the floor beside a sofa or in an empty corner that needs some evening warmth of its own.

The Textiles: Burgundy, Charcoal, and the Textures That Carry Them

This is where the collection's color story actually lives. The 20" burgundy and red patchwork pillow cover and the 20" red and white geometric embroidered pillow bring genuine warmth and pattern without tipping into anything matched or set-like. Pair either with the 22" charcoal striped pillow or the 20" charcoal textured pillow for the contrast that keeps a sofa from reading as one flat color block.

For wrapping up in, the red knitted 100% cotton throw has real, chunky texture, while the gray faux fur plush throw is the single most tactile piece in the whole collection for the price. The matching gray faux fur area rug brings that same texture underfoot, and it is machine washable, which matters more than most rug descriptions let on once you actually live with one.

The Small Pieces Worth Starting With

Not every room needs new furniture to feel like it belongs to this season. A few smaller, lower-commitment pieces do real work on their own. The 9" antiqued gold metal cylinder vase and the 11" amber, cream, and dark brown abstract glass vase both carry the collection's warm, aged metal and glass language in a single, easy object.

For a kitchen or dining table, the natural and brown solid wood dough bowls bring real, tactile wood grain to a surface in a way that costs very little and photographs beautifully filled with anything from fruit to pinecones to nothing at all.

Bringing It Home

Laurel is built the same way every collection this year has been built, around a feeling first, with the furniture as the way to actually live inside that feeling rather than just look at it. The velvet is for sitting in. The candlelight is for the evenings that are now arriving earlier than they were a month ago. The reclaimed wood is for a home that wants to feel like it has been lived in for longer than it has.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Laurel collection built around? Laurel is designed around the idea of a home turning inward as the days get shorter. It combines a burgundy and charcoal color palette with velvet upholstery, aged brass and bronze metal finishes, and reclaimed and solid wood furniture, aiming for a collected, candlelit feeling rather than a bright, open one.

What is the easiest way to start bringing Laurel into a room? Textiles and small objects are the lowest-commitment starting point. A pillow cover, a vase, or a pair of candle holders bring the collection's color and material story into a room without requiring a furniture purchase.

Why does the collection use aged or antiqued metal finishes instead of polished ones? Aged and antiqued finishes absorb light rather than reflecting it sharply, which suits rooms lit mostly by lamps and candles rather than bright overhead lighting. It also gives individual pieces a collected, settled quality rather than a newly bought one.

Is velvet a practical choice for everyday furniture? Good quality velvet upholstery is genuinely durable and holds up well to regular use. It also tends to resist showing wear in the way that smoother, flatter fabrics can, which makes it a reasonable choice for furniture that actually gets sat on daily, not just for occasional use.
