CREATE A COSY HIDEAWAY
Escape the winter chill and Christmas bustle with a traditional, cabin-inspired scheme
Whether you’re readying your home for the arrival of family, preparing to welcome a troop of friends or dressing up the house for the little ones, Christmas is one of the most exciting times to give your home a makeover. With longer evenings and chilly weather, it’s all about keeping toasty warm. Thankfully, the Winter Cottage collection from Sainsbury’s is full of soft blankets, comfy cushions and glowing candles to give your home a cosy feel. LAYER UP FOR THE SEASON Transform your living space or bedroom into a comforting bolthole by giving it a cabin-inspired makeover. Start with a faux-fur throw, then add a few cushions in traditional tartan prints – stick to a smart palette of white, red and green to keep it simple. Finally, choose woodland motifs, such as stags, mistletoe and pine cones, to complete the cottage vibe. SPRINKLE SOME magic Give the room a yuletide twist with a few festive features – a berry-adorned wreath, shimmering baubles and giftwrap covered in robins, deer and dainty trees will help you count down to Christmas in style.
