What are your plans this weekend? 🎃

We are going to a Halloween Disco and then we will give out sweeties to the trick or treaters who pop by. We really decorate the outside of our house … Orange lights, arms and bones coming out of the lawn and we even have a smoke machine!

Pop in and see us Friday-Monday for last minute decor (50% off all Halloween) and free treats for small people!

Christmas starts on Sunday 🤣🎄 xx

Does your home feel a little less cosy now that autumn is here? 🍂🤎

As the evenings get darker and the temperature drops, there’s nothing better than making home feel like the cosiest place to be.

Think warm lighting, beautiful autumnal scents, flickering candles, soft wool blankets, tapestry cushions and all the little details that make staying in feel extra special.

You don’t need to completely redecorate or spend a fortune, sometimes it’s the smallest changes that make the biggest difference.

Here are 7 simple ways to make your home feel warmer, cosier and ready for the season ahead.

Which one are you trying first?

As the mornings become mistier and the evenings draw in, it’s the perfect time to slow down and introduce layers of texture that make every room feel welcoming.

Autumn encourages us to appreciate the simple pleasures of home. Gathering around the dinner table or curling up beside the fire with a book.

The most memorable interiors are those that feel comfortable and authentic.

Five years in 10 seconds! Made me a bit dizzy.

There were lots more photos that I wanted to add but here are a few of lovely Emma who is beautiful inside and out!

Best of luck in your new role at the Deli, you’re going to smash it ☺️🥰
