8 Cosy Home Buys That Are Perfect For Nesting Season
By Sarah Macken
As the temperature dips, our focus returns indoors. Add a sense of luxury to your home with these cosy buys from Hedgeroe Home, Nordic Elements and new Irish brand Stór …
When it comes to cosying up, a pure cashmere blanket with Aran stitching is the zenith of luxury. Madigan Cashmere’s throw is named suaimhneas, from the Irish word for tranquility, or rest. Toast Suaimhneas cashmere Aran throw blanket, €1,995; www.madigancashmere.com.
Having just opened a British outpost on Chiltern Street, US label Loeffler Randall is the brand on everyone’s lips. We’re earmarking it for a visit next time we’re in London and, in the meantime, these ruffled slippers are simply too sweet to pass up. Brown Vichy check slippers, $75; www.loefflerrandall.com.
Now’s the time to layer rugs in your home. This scallop-trim doormat instantly injects a room with a playful spirit. Natural scallop doormat, Broste Copenhagen, €56, at Nordic Elements.
A glossy favourite, lifestyle brand Stable of Ireland has just launched a bed linen collection, made for cosy evenings and early nights. Consider it an investment in your sleep quality (and your bedroom aesthetic). Beige linen double duvet set, from €390, at Stable of Ireland.
We’re suckers for a ruffled lampshade. Even better if it’s in a warming ochre tone that’s perfect for autumn. (Plus, this one is rechargeable, so it doesn’t require wiring.) Orange Babington striped wall light, €135, at Hedgeroe Home.
Speaking of light fixtures, this woven lamp, new to the Considered by Helen James range at Dunnes Stores, looks far more expensive than its €60 price tag. Natural wavy lampshade, Considered by Helen James, €60, at Dunnes Stores.
Nesting season starts with a bougie candle. New Irish brand Stór curates homewares and gifting, all with a focus on luxury. Think: natural wools, hand-finished ceramics and fine cashmere. Green oud and bergamot candle, €75; www.storatelier.com.
Lastly, if your idea of nesting involves catching up on some much needed shut-eye, then make Seabody’s Sleep Body Balm a go-to. The velvety formula is enriched with ocean-sourced magnesium, squalane, avocado oil and marine actives derived from Atlantic seaweed, and is perfect for dabbing on pressure points as a pre-bed ritual, or as an overall body balm. (If you’re feeling bougie, Seabody also offers a Sleep Massage ritual at Anantara Spa at The Marker which takes things further by combining massage with calming breath work to promote restorative rest; www.anatara.com.) Sleep Body Balm, €42; www.seabody.com.
