4 Ways To Warm Up Your Home This Winter

There’s a stark contrast between summer and winter bedding, and we’re not just talking tones but textures and textiles (of course!). Lean towards heavier fabrics for your bedding like wools and flannels that are a sure way to keep you warm through the night (sans heater that is) and don’t be afraid of a blanket (or two) in rich, earthy hues. We love the Sheet Society’s 100% cotton Frankie Flannelette Quilt Cover Set layered with Seljak's Dune Fringe Blanket for added warmth.

Forgo the simplicity of summer. Once winter arrives it’s time to ready yourself for plenty of movie nights ahead, making your home (and couch in particular) as comfy as can be. Scatter cushions of all shapes and sizes around your home – quilted textures in particular scream winter, like these stylish accents from Country Road and Greg Natale.

You can never have too many blankets (fact). Equal parts pretty and practical, these comfy additions to any house amp up the cosy as well as keep you nice and toasty once night falls and the temperature drops dramatically. But we’re not talking any old throw – keep them winter-appropriate with throw blankets in thicker fabrics for extra insulation. Seljak Brand’s Pyramid Fringe Blanket is spun using recycled wool repurposed from old wooden jumpers and clothing. The unique design is inspired by the volcanoes that dot the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and doubles as a stunning piece of art to hang on your wall. Top things off, a $5 donation to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre is made for each blanket sold.

Winter isn’t just a look, but it’s a feel. Those cooler seasons have a special smell to them, which you can often create with a cluster of candles. An easy option when it comes to enhancing the ambience, and warmth of your home. So what exactly is the smell of the cooler season? Think heady, spicy scents.
