With the weather turning cold and even more wet, we know it’s hard not to feel glum that Summer is a thing of the past. However, at Willow & Hall, we’ve decided to take a different outlook on Autumn/Winter and in fact, we can’t wait to avoid the hustle and bustle to stay inside and snuggle up!
Read on for our perfect excuses to stay in and get cosy…
1. A good book and a blanket…
Autumn is the perfect excuse for some serious lounging. So why not give yourself time to do nothing but spend a few hours catching up on your favourite book/magazine? After all, when was the last time you had a chance to relax on your sofa with a blanket, a hot cuppa and your favourite cosy slippers? Below: NEW! The Hamptworth Sofa/Sofa Bed in Cotton Pale Grey, from £932. Click the image to find out more.
2. A well-deserved glass in front of the telly…
We know it’s too early for mulled wine, but another given for a cold and wet evening inside is a glass of your favourite wine. Catch up on your favourite shows that you’ve been too busy to watch or have a flick through the new Winter television schedule. You could even add some small canapés to the mix to make for your own little happy hour! Below: The Everleigh Ottoman in House Linen Argent, from £356. Click the image to find out more.
3. A long-overdue cuppa with friends…
We understand that when it’s pouring and windy outside, the last thing you want to do is go outside. So why not bring your friends and family to you and have your own tea party at home? Dust off your nice china, make little sandwiches and if you have time, get baking a British classic (check out our Victoria Sponge recipe here!). This is also a fun activity for children on a wet weekend, substituting tea for a mug of hot chocolate. Below: NEW! The Chilmark Sofa/Sofa Bed in Textured Chenille Pavilion Grey, from £1,053.

4. Be idle in fabulous comfort…
And lastly, at Willow & Hall, we’ll take any excuse to move around interiors to refresh a space. If you feel like your home needs cosying up, try adding some more photographs to the wall, rearranging your furniture, or adding some cosy throws in the living room. Alternatively, if you need a new purchase to achieve the look, we recommend our fabulous ottomans for storing all your Autumn/Winter essentials!

Best wishes,
The Willow & Hall team
