Create a cosy home
Curl up and get comfy with these inviting ideas.
Stay snug all night
Make the winter switch
Those balmy nights are behind us (phew) and it's time to switch to something snuggly. Start by assessing your duvet - do you need a higher tog? Next, cocoon yourself in soft fleecy bedding and throws. Pick more wintry prints and colours to up the cosy appeal.
What tog do you need?
A 10.5 tog duvet suits most sleepers all year round, but if you feel the cold, switch to a 13.5 tog duvet for the winter months.
Up the fleece and faux fur
From duvet covers to throws and cushions, these super soft textures look so inviting, and offer an extra oh-so-cosy layer of warmth.
Block draughty windows
Feeling a chill? Thermal curtains (they're backout too) help to block out frosty nights. Make them meet the floor if you want an extra snug look.
Create that cosy look
Weave warmth throughout your home with these seasonal style tips.
Cuddle up with cushions
Scattered on a sofa or bed, these soften up spaces and are an easy way to update your decor with seasonal colours and prints.
Snuggle up with throws
Add to the end of a bed or the arm of a sofa, on standby for cold evenings - our picks are chunky knits and fleecy faux furs.
Add a few candles (and then a few more)
There's really no such thing as too many. Fill your home with flickering light and sweet scents of berries and seasonal spices.
Amp up your lighting
As the darker nights creep in, make sure each room is suitably lit. Floor lights and lamps are an easy addition to instantly brighten dark spots - set them up with smart plugs so you come home to their inviting glow.
Warm up your colour palette
Swap out summer pastels for richer tones. Berry reds, forest greens and oak woods will all add warmth to a neutral room. Our new Highland Lodge collection is a good place to start, inspired by country cottages and the Scottish countryside.
Serve up winter warmers
Full bellies = warm hearts. From dinner parties to family feasts, here's what you need to whip up this season's staple dishes.
It's the season of pies, puddings, stews & soup
Come home to a rich, hearty stew bubbling away...casserole pots, slow cookers and soup makers come into their own at this time of year.

Warm up with cosy drinks
Whether it's as a morning wake-up or an after-dinner treat, coffee machines expand your hot drink repertoire to barista level - fill your favourite mugs with lattes, mochas, espressos and more.
Flavoured festive drinks are one of the first signs that autumn is here - why not make them at home? Flavoured syrups can be found in most supermarkets. Have whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder or cinnamon on stand-by for guest-impressing drinks.
Keep the heat in
Here are some practical purchases and tips to keep your home toasty.
