Autumn seems to suddenly creep up on you – one minute you’re considering one last BBQ and the next you’re thinking the tan’s faded and there’s frost on the lawn. Is it too early to put the heating on?

The Scandinavians might have made it trendy, with their hygge but we know how to get cosy just as stylishly here.

There are rituals we instinctively do when the leaves start to turn: lighting get’s softer, blankets are unfolded and wrapped around shoulders, socks get thicker and we definitely crave for something stodgy and satisfying. How about a nice rich soup or sticky risotto? You know it’s well and truly Autumn when you prefer a hot chocolate to a Pimms!

It’s lovely to be outside on crisp, cold days but even nicer to come back to a toasty warm home. Fill yours with snuggly soft furnishings and scents of cinnamon and sandalwood, guaranteed to create a cosy ambience.
