[HOME] Making The Most Of Fall


Finally Autumn is here and it feels right to talk about how I've embraced the colder evenings and spending more time inside. I think changing your surroundings to fit a season can make everything feel a little special. Instead of dreading the chilly weather and the trees becoming bare I have gotten the candles down ready to light now it gets dark so much earlier and my collection of blankets and cushions make the day bed a snuggle area ideal for cuddling up in and reading. 


My bedding was actually a gift from my Amazon Wishlist at Christmas. Catherine Lansfield with a tree print is perfect to evoke the cabin in the countryside atmosphere, paired with tartan cushions and a soft wool herringbone throw and I'm ready to settle in for the evening. I'm fond of Scottish tartan textiles, especially with woodland animals which seem to be a massive trend these fast few years, making it super easy to buy! 

I've added copper details to offset all the neutrals. The lampshade is a modern frame style with a vintage industrial bulb, I couldn't resist the cute geometrics.




I was emailed by Parachute Home about my idea of making a cozy fall and although I don't own any of their products I checked out their website and they sell some really beautiful interior products. Below are a few favourites of mine. 

The Striped Cashmere Throw has a real nautical feel with the stripes and choice of colours including blue, grey and natural. I can imagine this throw fitting perfectly over a snuggle chair or the end of my bed, layered with a chunky knit bed spread. The fireside candle sounds perfect to convey the warmth of a cozy night in by the fire without the smoky atmosphere. (Images below courtesy of parachutehome.com)

LIFESTYLE// MOVING ON

I'm moving soon and with that I'll be in a smaller space so I get to tick off another of my 101 in 1001, buy a new bed. I cheated a little with this as my mum decided she would rather invest in a fairly good one since it'll stay when I leave home when I've got a job after graduating.

I had my eye on a few day beds as they are small but pretty and offer a seating area as well as a place to sleep. There is a fair amount of choice at the moment as I think they're in trend but this particular one is a real stunner. A slight off-white with diamond corner adornments, it is ideal for a feminine abode.

I love that there is underneath storage space and that the detailing isn't too over the top. Many frames seemed to have big clumps of metal for detailing which definitely didn't fit my tastes. This frame retails at £199.99 without a mattress so it wasn't cheap but I am eager to sleep on a bed that doesn't have dips haha. I've put together a few things I think might complement this, I am fond of rose gold and copper accents, always looking so luxurious and shiny. A neutral palette with mixed texture blankets and cushions would really accentuate the metallic details so I'm hoping I can find some of these to go in the new house.
