Preparing your home for the winter months
Now is the time to prepare your home for the colder months ahead, invest in some new bedding, change the duvet to a higher tog, put your mattress topper on, treat yourself to a new cosy pair of slippers, a lovely new throw/cushions for the bed, sofa or both!
For me there is nothing quite like a freshly made bed with crisp linens and layers of warmth.
Throws and cushions are a great way to instantly update a bedroom or living room, they add interesting texture, warmth and colour. The trend for chunky organic knits continues this season, wool is tactile, stylish and elegant. Silk is opulent and luxurious, if the budget will stretch a luxury cashmere throw will last a lifetime, feel beautiful against the skin and you will probably never want to get out of bed or off the sofa!
Sheepskin, fur and animal hides create an alpine/ski chalet style, Mongolian Lambskin and ostrich feather cushions will add amazing texture and glamour to your room.
To give you all some ideas, here are a few of my favourite A/W 2012 products from the leading Home online/mail-order companies.
