Layer throws and cushions for an instant cosy update

There is nothing we like more than having a snoop around other people’s houses, especially when it is as pretty as this one.

We love all things Scandi, so stumbling across interior stylist Jesper Laursen of 'Scandinavian Homes' on Instagram was serendipitous.

His style is typically Swedish; creating contemporary, clean spaces with memorable details. In this flat they have added lots of textiles and candles for warmth and texture, with plants and ornaments creating a stylish finish.

It is hard to resist this home’s autumnal feel, created by the dark colour pallette on the walls and the layered textiles.

With the season well and truly upon us, now is the time to create your own cosy retreat from the cold.

For a quick and easy Scandi Autumnal update, simply add a sheepskin rug to your floor, some extra throws to your sofa and light a few candles. Believe us, it’ll create the perfect ‘Hygge’ (Danish for cosy) look.
