MOSS GREENS AND EARTH TONES ARE SET TO WARM YOUR INTERIORS

there’s no need to lament the arrival of the cooler seasons, for there’s something special about being able to hunker down inside, cocooned in warmth, as the temperatures drop outside. This collection of ideas will help make your home feel snug, comfy and inviting throughout autumn and winter. Your colour and material choices matter, whether it’s a sheepskin rug to curl your chilly toes in, illuminating the night with atmospheric lamps or creating a welcoming gathering spot (with or without a roaring fire) with tactile fabrics and plush upholstery. The beauty is that while they turn your spaces into a cosy refuge from the outside world, you can easily swap these accents out when the weather warms back up.

LIT FOR ATMOSPHERE

Candles, seed lights and the reflective glow of metallic lanterns will illuminate and bring a lovely, comforting ambience to your rooms. Group high and low lanterns as part of a scenic vigne e with pinecones, succulents and outdoor greenery. You can also get cra y with leaf shapes cut from card to add to your seed lights.

FIRE UP AND WARM UP!

Even without a chimney you can still have a wood stove with internal or external twin wall flue systems.

RUG UP FOR AUTUMN

A woodburning stove is the very definition of cosy. And knowing you can stoke that fire as needed with fuel stacked and stored within reach is especially comforting. Baskets will do the trick or you can stack logs under benches on either side of the stove.
