Create a Cosy Home This Autumn

Summer feels like a distant memory now since the weather has changed these last few days especially. With depressing news on every channel and gloominess in the air, create your own cosy, safe sanctuary at home.

Fur, throws and blankets
Draped on chairs, stools, sofas and beds, cosy and war blankets in neutral colours can really calm the mind as well as offer a warming feeling - before you've even put a blanket over yourself!

Candles and low lighting
Using candlelight or low wattage bulbs in smaller lamps will really give a glow to the room and create a relaxing and cosy environment.

Flowers and plants
Whether faux or real, flowers and plants that compliment your colour scheme in the room can create a nourished and cared for vibe - fresh flowers especially are so good for the soul and real plants can help with the air quality also, so have additional benefits.

Mirror, mirror
Placed behind or opposite candles and lights, mirrors can throw even more soft light around the room and also make the room look bigger, whilst keeping the cosy feeling.

Pillows and rugs
A feast for the senses alongside with the throws, resting on a soft and comfortable pillow is like having a huge hug! Add a rug to the floor - especially on a hard or cold surface - will add another texture to the scene and will give added warmth and colour.
