How to Prepare Your Home For Winter
SEP 04|5 min read
Can you feel it? The cooler months are fast approaching. Time to turn your home into a cosy winter retreat before temperatures really drop.
Layer up in the bedroom
When it’s dark and drizzly outside we want nothing more than to stay tucked up in bed. But first, your bedroom needs to feel like an inviting haven. Hello, layers! A winter quilt made from Australian wool will keep you warm, but not hot, while you sleep. Pair with a premium cotton flannelette quilt cover and sheet set for the softest base layer. The texture of a sherpa blanket or faux fur throw adds warmth both physically and visually, while a weighted blanket can help you relax into a comfortable sleep. A bundle of plush cushions and a spritz of linen spray and you’ll have the ultimate comfort zone.
Insider Tip:
On those frosty nights when an extra throw or blanket just won't suffice, turn up the heat with an electric blanket! Fire up your blanket before hopping into bed to keep toasty warm all night long.
Create a cosy living room
Cold weather is for lounging on the couch ─ when you’re not in bed, of course. If there’s one thing you need it’s a warm winter blanket. Curl up with faux fur, a chunky knit throw or ultra-soft sherpa. Pile on cushions in a range of textures and fabrics and you’ll never want to move. A soft and shaggy floor rug is an easy way to add warmth underfoot, even in carpeted areas. For the final touch, offset the winter blues with mood lighting. Turn off the harsh overheads and instead light a candle or switch on a lamp for a soft, warm glow.
Keep your bathroom warm
Bathrooms aren’t traditionally the warmest spaces in your home. But with a few simple updates, you can dial up the cosiness without cranking the heat. Splash out on plush, extra absorbent towels to help you dry faster. An ultra-soft bathmat will keep your toes toasty and warm, because no one likes stepping out of the shower onto ice-cold tiles. Be sure you have a pair of fluffy slippers and a bath robe at the ready.

Prepare your kids’ bedroom for winter
Their sleep is precious ─ and so is yours! Jack Frost can wreak havoc with your little one’s sleeping patterns if you’re not prepared for cold snaps. Keep them warm on the coldest winter nights with our Australian wool quilts, specially designed for children. Swap to kids’ flannelette sheets, which are not only snuggly but also come in all manner of cutesy prints and colours they’ll love. A fleecy blanket or throw is the final step to their winter bedtime routine.
