Prepare your house for a cosy Autumn…..

It’s that time of year again, the orange season is upon us where you dig out your woolly jumpers, take a stroll through a gorgeous leafy park and order yourself a ginger spiced latte – delightful. But of course as much as it’s important to get yourselves ready for the winter months and give your coats a purpose again, it’s crucial to get your home all prepped and ready so you can get the best out of those wonderfully cosy months ahead. Here we’ve put together 5 tips on how to prepare your home ….

1. Enjoy the warming tones of Autumn in your home by getting in a seasonal flower display. A simple arrangement of gorgeous orange, yellow and red tones will really warm up your kitchen, dining room or lounge.
2. Keep your home toasty and make sure you have enough firewood ready for the season, and order it in advance. If you don’t have a fireplace, invest in some candles, its surprising how much heat, comfort and cosiness they can bring in to a home, especially when its chilly outside.
3. Get yourself a nice big chunky blanket for the sofa, or just layer up if you’ve had extra’s tucked away in the cupboard. It’s a good idea to get some more cushions as well to make movie nights that extra bit more comfortable.
4. As we can pretty much always depend on our English wet weather for the coming months, it’s a good idea to invest in a sturdy big door matt to wipe shoes off without it getting in to the house. Making more room for outerwear in general for all those coats and boots – a shoe rack, umbrella holder and some strong hooks are a great way to do so.
5. Why not make the most out of your garden furniture and create a cosy corner outside. Set up some cushions, a nice thick blanket and enjoy watching the stars with a nice cup of hot chocolate. Better yet, set yourself up some outdoor tea lights and it will make your garden look magical!
