Posted On: 2020-11-30 19:35:20 ; Read: 1313 time(s)

Winter is a period that sees us all spending a lot more time at home than we do the rest of the year. Every year the cold weather and long dark nights sends us scurrying into our living rooms in the search of some comforting hygge moments. However, this winter will see us spending more time than ever before in our homes.

With a global pandemic ceasing the usual social occasions that normally fill our evenings, this year we will all be snuggled up at home. This makes it even more important that your home is extra especially snuggly this winter. Here’s how our new collection is giving our homes some Scandinavian comfort this winter. We are sure that with the right seasonal décor and a log fire you will all be singing merrily around your hearths this Christmas.

Over the next few months, we’re all going to be spending a lot of time on our sofas watching movies and catching up on box sets. That’s why revamping your sofa should be at the top of your list! Making your sofa an inviting place to curl up with a book or film is one of the easiest ways to breathe new life into your home. Simply dressing it with some new curtains, rugs, blankets, throws and cushions can even make it look like you’ve redecorated!

The go to for interior design choices for Autumn/Winter 2020 is to take your inspiration from nature. That’s why we think that our hand embroidered wreath cushion will tick everyone’s boxes. The wreath pattern on the front instantly makes everyone think about Christmas. And, of course, the soft natural honey tones of the embroidery and super soft fabric make it the perfect AW2020 home furnishings choice. It’s also extremely comfy to snuggle up with. Win win.

Finish off dressing your sofa with one of our fabulous Sherpa throws. It is available in natural and grey and because of the metallic embroidery on the cushion both colours would go perfectly with the cushion . At £55 it’s the perfect Christmas present if you want to share some seasonal snuggles with your nearest and dearest. We have a huge range of opulent and comforting throws and blankets to choose across the rest of our site, so there really is something for everyone.

Let’s tear ourselves away from the sofa now as we won’t be spending all of our time there this winter. . Updating your home’s accessories also contributes enormously towards rejuvenating the look of your home and can add a luxuriously inviting note to your reception rooms. We won’t be doing the same amount of socialising at home this year but it’s important not to overlook your dining room.

Continuing with AW2020’s interior design theme of looking to nature, we’ve been using feather décor a lot in the last few weeks. Our favourite feather flourishes are the feather wreath and matching feather Christmas tree. They are the perfect way to dress your dining room for Christmas 2020. Mood lighting and hurricane jars are another incredible way to create a festive ambience in your dining room. It is arguably the most important room to decorate for Christmas as it is where the main event, Christmas Dinner, is held, so it should not be overlooked. A focal point in a dining room, like a fireplace, is a wonderful asset when it comes to decorating the room. Of course, particular attention should be paid to the dining table, but the fireplace can be used to create a really spectacular impression. Our Vienna Hanging Mirrored Star looks exceptional on a fireplace mantlepiece surrounded by garlands of ivy or eucalyptus and large candles or fairy lights.

Consider the other areas of your home in which you will be spending your time this winter too. Your hallway is somewhere that you spend a great deal of time whether you realise it or not. What’s more, think about all the occasions you open your door to people making deliveries and to neighbours. Having an inviting hallway is important all year around but especially at Christmas. Make your hallway an inviting entry point to your home with jars full of attractive wintry branches. Our blueberry branches look beautiful arranged in jars on a console table in a hallway.

Finally, don’t forget your office when you are decorating your home this December. With so many of us working from home now, people are rediscovering their home office/study and are finding them seriously wanting. If you are working from home full-time now, it is even more important to make your home office somewhere that you enjoy spending time. Decorating your home office for Christmas will not only put you in the mood for some festive good will to all men, it will also make you more productive.

Plants are big in interior design at the moment, (not a surprise given that AW20 is all about taking cues from nature) and what could be a better plant for your home office than your own Christmas tree?! Our selection of Mini Colorado Trees are the ideal choice for your home office as they don’t take up too much space.

These trees combined with our bestselling bark wreath will make your home office feel a little less Scrooge. Our bark wreath is the perfect festive finishing touch when you are decorating your home this Christmas. It’s so pretty, with its delicate bark petals that you will want to leave it up all year and because it’s not overly festive, you can!

So, let’s embrace this new season for all it’s worth and start getting some festive cheer going. Our new collection is the ideal way to transform your home into your own little winter wonderland.
