Every year when the cold sets in, I promise myself I’ll make the house feel like a cosy retreat — full of warmth, softness, and a bit of personality. This year, I decided to skip the usual neutrals and lean into fun, character-filled pieces that make us smile every day. The new Winter Warmers collection couldn’t have come at a better time — it’s full of those playful, affordable finds that bring joy back into the home.
When you’ve got kids, a partner, and a house that never seems to stay tidy for long, winter décor has to work hard — it needs to be practical and cheerful. I realised I didn’t just want cosy; I wanted comfort with a bit of whimsy. The kind that makes the kids giggle, the dog curl up contentedly, and me feel like I’ve added a little charm without blowing the budget.
Our living room has become the heart of winter evenings. Between homework, cartoons, and my attempts to get five quiet minutes with a cuppa, it’s where we all gather. At my home, we have incorporated Doughnut Cuddle Cushion and Watermelon Cuddle Cushion to the sofa, and honestly — they’ve transformed the space. The kids argue over who gets which one, and I’ve noticed they somehow make the room look brighter even on gloomy afternoons. I like mixing these fun shapes with plain, soft cushions — it keeps the room feeling playful without turning it into a playroom.
Later in the evening, once the kids are tucked up and the house finally goes quiet, I reach for my Sausage Dog Microwaveable Hottie. It’s become my little ritual — pop it in the microwave while the kettle’s boiling, then curl up with it and my favourite blanket. It’s cute, cosy, and just the right kind of comforting after a long day.
My eldest has claimed a pair of the Stitch Fluffy Socks, and I’ve kept the Monochrome Bows Set for myself. I keep a little basket of socks and hotties by the sofa — a tiny touch that makes the space feel welcoming for whoever’s home first.
If your family’s anything like mine, Sunday mornings are half chaos, half cuddles. We all pile into the living room and it’s our little tradition to wear matching pyjamas for breakfast and film time. The Bow Print Button Through Pyjama Sets are perfect for that. They’re soft, flattering, and the Mini Me version makes my youngest feel like she’s part of the “grown-up club.”
And because no family cuddle pile is complete without the dog, he’s got his Dog Hoodie Blanket too. He might not say much about style, but he hasn’t taken it off since it arrived.
I’ve realised that winter decorating isn’t just about warmth — it’s about making your home feel happy. Little details, like a novelty cushion or matching pyjamas, can make ordinary days feel special. And that’s the beauty of the Winter Warmers collection — you don’t have to spend a fortune to make your space feel loved and lived-in.
So, if you’re ready to cosy up with a bit more character this winter, start small. Add one thing that makes you smile — a funny cushion, a soft pair of socks, or even a snuggly hoodie for the dog. Before you know it, you’ll have a home full of warmth, laughter, and those little moments that matter most.
