What's On

AS THE the cold weather settles in, there’s nothing better than turning your home into a cosy retreat where you can relax and unwind.

Check out our top tips on how you can transform each room into a warm and inviting haven…

Layer Up with Textiles
Start by adding layers of soft and plush textiles – we love chunky knit blankets and faux fur throws. Pile up cushions on your sofa and chairs and opt for velvet fabrics in rich colours. In the bedroom, add extra patterned quilts to keep your bed irresistibly cosy.

Ambient Lighting
Soft, ambient lighting is essential for a cosy winter atmosphere. Replace harsh overhead lights with warm-toned bulbs. Scatter candles around your home to create a gentle, flickering glow. Don’t forget fairy lights; drape them over mantels, headboards, or shelves for a magical touch.

Seasonal Scents
Use scented candles, essential oil diffusers, or simmer pots to fill the air with comforting aromas like cinnamon, vanilla, or pine.  A welcoming scent at the entrance sets the tone as soon as you walk in the door, making your home feel warm and inviting.

Natural Elements
Decorate with pinecones, branches, or dried flowers in earthy tones. Wooden accents, like trays, bowls, or picture frames, can also contribute to a rustic vibe. If you have a fireplace, make it a focal point by decorating the mantel with seasonal greenery and a basket of logs.

Cosy Corners
Designate a corner in where you can retreat with a good book and a cuppa. Add a comfortable chair, a soft blanket, and a small side table. These little nooks will be your go-to spots for unwinding during the colder months.
