Cosy Up This Autumn

Is there anything better than snuggly under a cosy blanket? I think not!
Oh, how I love autumn! The weather cools, the heater is on, the candles are lit, and with a cup of tea in hand, it's time to snuggle into some colour on the couch! A throw can provide warmth and comfort during this change of seasons; it can also add a stylish change as your home moves through the seasons. My new faux mohair throw and cushions for Harris Scarfe are just that and more! In a fun palette of tangerine, watermelon and cream, these cushions and throws are an affordable way to bring your home into a new season. Restyling our home for each season can provide a fresh and updated look, but it doesn't need to cost a fortune! Simple additions like a cushion or a throw can really lift a room and create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere, almost matching the season's mood. For example, warm colours and cozy textures may be more appropriate for winter, while bright colours and floral patterns may be more suitable for spring.

Creative Ideas with Throw Rugs
Layering: Layering rugs is a great way to add depth and texture to a room. Try layering a small throw rug over a larger area rug for a chic and cozy look.
Statement Piece: Make a bold statement using a bright and patterned throw as the focal point in the room. Keep the rest of the decor neutral to let the blanket stand out.
Mix and Match: Have some fun and mix and match patterns and textures. Choose a throw with a busy pattern and pair it with a solid-coloured blanket for a unique and eclectic look.
Wall Art: Use a rug as a piece of wall art. Hang a rug on the wall as a tapestry, or use a small rug as a base for a gallery wall.
Repurpose: Repurpose an old throw rug as a table runner or cover up an unsightly piece of furniture.
Remember, there are no hard and fast rules for styling a throw rug. Be creative and have fun with it!
