Wool Rug by Urban Fabric Rugs
Many of us like technology for many reasons. It increases our efficiency, gives us access to new experiences and frees our time.
Because of this, for some of you, with the arrival of Christmas, technology stars in the wish list of things you desire.
In Britain Christmas is deeply linked to winter, the cold season where we tend to spend more time at home, warm and safe from cold and snow.
So now it is the perfect time for giving presents to yourself that make the connection you have with your home stronger, enjoying it and pampering your guests in a way that none of them will forget.
A WARNING:
NONE of them are technology related gadgets…
No panic… I assure you: You will survive and even enjoy them.
Wood Burning Stoves
Wood burning stove “Elements” by Skantherm
There is something primeval in the fact of creating fire, somehow, in an unconscious way; it takes us back to the time when our lives would have depended on it.
The fact it forces us to sit very close together so all around can benefit of its warmth and embracing heat makes people share more time together talking about their lives, stories, adventures and misadventures.
So…now and then… Turn your central heating off and allow the wood burning stove to mark the pace of these magic nights in company of friends and hot mulled wine.
Thick, soft area Rugs
Wool Rug by Mourne Textiles
Did you walk barefoot on grass in summer? If yes, do you remember the extreme pleasure of it?
Who has told you that you can’t experience this feeling at this time of the year?
Believe me they are wrong.
In winter pamper yourself and get an area rug for your living room that makes you experience that forgotten pleasure again…the thickness and warmth of the wool will do the magic.
Fluffy and caring Cushions
Cushions at Liberty
An accessory that is present in our homes throughout the year can play a special role during these long winter nights.
Either just for making you feel more comfortable on the sofa or for hugging when watching that scary movie so you don’t show your friends or partner you have been frightened to death. Cushions are a wonderful resource.
Table Games
Come on guys video games are not the only option when thinking of entertaining your friends.
Table games have the wonderful advantage of connecting you with them at another level.
The proximity generated by eye contact and the continuous study of their movements increases the knowledge you have of them and them of you creating, hopefully (if you don’t win all the games) stronger and longer lasting relationships.
Of course I have mentioned all these options trusting that you are going to choose stylish and beautiful items that will make of your home an exquisite and cosy one for Christmas.
