The Edit | Autumn cosiness

The equinox has passed and it’s officially autumn, so my latest instalment of ‘The Edit’ is devoted to helping you ramp up the cosiness and create a warm, relaxing sanctuary for the chilly months ahead.

I love dressing my home for the season, and I’ve gradually built up a collection of timeless pieces that I can switch in and out according to my mood and the time of year. I’ve included some of my favourites in the below selection, which brings together beautiful home accessories in gorgeous autumnal hues – many crafted by independent makers, and all with the kind of understated design and high-quality materials that mean they’ll last for a very long time to come. You’ll also find plenty of other wonderful fall treats, including super-soft loungewear, a comforting scented candle, an immunity-boosting herbal tea blend, preserved branches that bring a bit of seasonal nature inside, and quite possibly the best hot chocolate you’ll ever taste…
