I’ve lived in my flat for 2 years now and it’s NEVER been chilly. Put it this way, 24 months and I haven’t had the heating on once. In winter it’s great, because I can still walk around in a vest top and shorts being all comfy and carefree. In summer though, I think I might melt in the middle of the floor it’s that bad. However, this past week I have started to feel the chill just a little. It’s an odd feeling believe me. I’m actually writing this blog post wearing a jumper. That’s alien to me! You might have read recently about me starting to re-furnish my flat now we’re settled. So now it’s time for me to get thinking about how to make my front room cosy, warm and of course this time of year it has to be festive… but I need my furnishings to last all year round, not just Christmas! It’s a task but gives me a great chance to create a wish list. I’m keeping it Monochrome Magic at Christmas and all year round with these home ware pieces.
1. Champagne Fragrance Diffuser– My home has to smell nice. It’s just a must have. This gorgeous diffuser not only looks chic but I bet it smells divine.
2. Monty & Mabel Penguin Cushion – Let me just say that before THAT advert went viral, I’ve actually always loved penguins. This cute cushion will always fit into Christmas but it’s a pretty cool talking point all year round.
3. Marta Wiley Living The Dream Print – There is something amazingly relaxing and peaceful about this picture. It evokes warmness and I love it.
4. Geometric Luxe Throw – This gorgeous throw is not only an amazing centre piece but it’s soft, a little stretchy and oh so comfortable. It’s one of those smooth type throws that makes you want to snuggle up with a hot chocolate. How do I know… because I already have it but it HAD to be included in this list. It’s so sumptuous you won’t leave it alone. 100% cotton and machine washable, it’s my new best friend.
5. Wood ‘Smile’ Sign – I’m a fan of quirky wall plaques and little hanging things. Sometimes sayings and quotes can give you a little perk when you need it. Especially if it’s something that really rings true. This Smile sign says it all.
6. 2 Black Wood Lanterns – How cosy are these? Just amazing. Big, chunky and cosy. They can go anyway from on the floor, table, and window ledge. What a real master piece for Christmas or any time of year.
