13 Home Items That Are Worth Investing in This Season

Transform your home into a warm and cosy space this season.

The cooler months conjure up images of freezing mornings, lack of sunlight, dry skin, and too many hours spent hibernating indoors. However, there are plenty of positives associated with autumn and winter!

As chilly as it may be, it gives us an excuse to invest in luxuriously warm and cosy essential home items so you can transform your space into an inviting bunker to hibernate in until the weather starts to warm up again.

From cuddly throws to plush towels, here are 13 important home items that will get you through the chill this year — and many more to come.

1. A snuggly throw

On the bed as an extra layer of warmth, draped over the living room couch as an accessory or wrapped around you like a cosy blanket, there’s no denying a throw is a cooler month (and all-around home) essential.

Whether it’s one of our heavy linen throws or our lighter-weight muslin throws, they will feed warmth and energy into any setting to create a cosy, homely environment.

2. A slow cooker

Comfy food and stews are a necessity in winter, and a slow cooker will help you get that incredible melt-in-your-mouth result with every meal you cook. We suggest looking for one that has a PFOA-free non-stick coating, which will not only make cleaning up easier but also ensure no nasty toxins get stirred into your food. Plus, did you know cooking can help boost your mood? It's a grounding activity that gets you out of your own head while also connecting with your body. All the more reason to whip up a feast, right?

3. Dryer balls

Unfortunately, your washing simply doesn’t dry as fast in winter. So, if you’re finding you’re using your dryer more but want to save money and electricity – while also making your clothes smell fresher – invest in some dryer balls.

4. A warm robe

Our 100% linen waffle robes will keep you cosy early in the morning and before bed in the evenings. It features a midi length, waist tie and wide-fit sleeves, making it perfect as an extra layer of warmth to wear on top of your other sleepwear pieces. You'll spend your nights, weekends and WFH days wrapped in your ultra-soft robe. You literally won’t want to take it off.

5. A plant

Not only do indoor plants look beautiful, but they can help foster a connection to the outdoors and brighten the mood – especially when you're hibernating inside and feeling low during the cooler months. They’re decor, they’re wellness – they’re just a bit of everything, really. Just be sure you place it next to a window or somewhere that catches those daylight sun rays!

6. A cosy candle

Scent is a powerful tool that helps relax your mind and connect with your personal space. So, help lift your spirits on those cold mornings while lulling you to sleep at night by diffusing some essential oils. Just press set, forget and enjoy the calming scents that waft through your room.

7. Luxurious bed linen

We all know linen sheets are perfect for keeping you cool during those warm summer nights – it’s light, breathable and perfect for sweaty sleepers. But what do you do when winter rolls around? While you might pack away your lightweight linens in favour of flannelette, it turns out there's no need to stash away your linen bedding until summer rolls around again. Linen is great at creating a comfortable and cosy bed year-round. Yep, even in the middle of winter.

8. Bed socks

Keeping your feet warm during the winter months can help keep your overall health in check during a time when your body is more susceptible to seasonal coughs and colds, but did you know sleeping with warm socks on can help improve your sleep quality? Yes, it's a tried and tested sleep hack, which you can read all about here.

9. A good quality heater

While you might be dreaming of having a toasty fireplace to cosy up to, having any heating system is essential if you want to stay warm throughout the cooler months. If you live in a small home, opt for a portable space heater.

10. Plush towels

There's nothing like stepping out of a steaming hot shower and wrapping yourself in an ultra-plush towel. Both our intricate waffle weave and plush terry weave Bath Towels are soft, quick-drying, and luxurious so you don't freeze while making the transition into your sleepwear. As an added benefit, a fresh set of towels will instantly elevate your bathroom to feel like a five-star hotel. Don't forget to include a bath mat!

11. A rug for your cold feet

Placing your feet onto chilled floorboards is definitely a no-go for us. Pick a snug rug will not only make your feet content but it'll up the cosiness levels of any room, too.

12. Long sleepwear

Whether you're lazing around your home, in bed or even ducking out to get groceries, a linen shirt is a staple you'll be living in all winter (and summer) long. Like we've said above, linen keeps you warm when the temperature drops, despite it being such a light and breathable fabric. You can check out our long-sleeve sleepwear in a range of our most popular colours.
