As the weather turns dark and dreary, a lot of us are transitioning into time spent largely indoors. Having a space that surrounds you in warmth—literally and aesthetically—is one way to combat the winter blues. Here’s what we’re coveting for our caves.
Coco Republic
In a season spent cosying up on couches, a plush throw takes things to the next level. This one is from Coco Republic, woven from 100% cotton with a tonal fringe and soft, structured drape. Its deep red colour adds a literal and visual warmth to any sofa, chair or ottoman. Tuck up underneath with a mug or wineglass in hand. Plus, you can pair it with cushions in the same colourway to complete the look.
Elan & Earth
Handmade, designed to last and constructed from natural materials? Elan & Earth are a rug-maker than need to be on your wishlist. The Australian brand favours traditional techniques and responsibly sourced materials, like New Zealand wool, resulting in thoughtful, timeless designs that bring proportion and balance to the home. Their Pure Wool Rug is handloomed in a single, rich colour to ground your space—in this case, in the deep calm of dense forests. Whether you’re shuffling around in slippers or plodding in bare feet, comfort and coziness await. The variation of colours can slot in easily to your current scheme or provide the perfect base for building something new. Either way, this could be the winter refresh your space is begging for.
Special Studio
Special Studio live up to the name; our friends across the pond are crafting modern homewares using local manufacturing in New Zealand and 100% recycled plastic. If you’re after a versatile piece that can accommodate a cup of tea, a stack of books or a last-minute dinner party guest, their Lulu Stool is the ideal multi-purpose piece for your home. Available in a variety of sizes and colours, the portable design is sleek yet textured, adding interest without pulling focus. Styled here as an umbrella stand, the possibilities and uses for Lulu are endless.
