This chapter explores the mutually constitutive relationships between touch and interior design for the home, in an analysis attentive to modernisms and mediation. The phrase ‘home comforts’ indicates that the home is not merely a place; it is a group of sensory experiences which collectively produce a distinctive comfort. Here, I examine three key tendencies of modernism, showing how a focus on touch yields new understanding about the interplay of people and their object worlds in domestic interiors.
