Truth. Like many of you, my own day-to-day life is full to the brim. Morning exercise, school runs, site meetings, people meetings, project work, school events, playdates, business admin, business marketing, dinner, bed and bath routines for tiny people, evening sports, socialising with friends, squeezing in as many meals at restaurants as I can.
These things are all great to a point, but they also have the potential to make life feel so busy that you don’t have any breathing space. Add to it the feeling of being back in level one lockdown thanks to the endless cycle of sickness taking hold of our kids, and life can be pretty exhausting.
Like the beginning of the year, a new month signals the opportunity to reboot and regroup – especially if you are someone that draws comfort from routines and rituals like I do. Winter months bring with it a natural inclination to hibernate in the warmth and comfort of your home. This also presents the opportunity to slow down and take the time to appreciate your surroundings.
For many people the onset of winter brings a chance to update their home decor, as they look for ways to make their home instantly cosier. Home decorating can become expensive if you re-style seasonally, however investing in key staples that you can bring out year after year, during these cooler months, gives you something to look forward to when its rainy and cold outside.
This month we’ll be sharing four key ways to up the cosiness factor in your home (take notes!), as well as handy styling tips along with our favourite winter products so you can easily shop the look. And of course take you behind the scenes on as many of our projects as we can. Well that’s the goal anyway. Let’s see how we go!
Thanks as always for following along! Xx
In the meantime, we are feeling truly inspired by the serenity of this contemporary home, as well as all the colours used throughout the house. Along with the use of natural light, the colours invoke a sense a calmness, all the while boosting the warmth and cosiness of the space. Just what we need to reignite our senses!
