Cosy Interiors: let’s stay inside

A British winter can seem never-ending; the season dampened by drizzly weather, cold winds and dark nights. But this is the perfect season for a cosy home that can be your sanctuary while the winter rages on outside. Taking pleasure and contentment from a cosy environment is known in Danish culture as ‘hygge’. In the quest for creating a more hygge home, why not start with your walls? So here's our advice: hunker down with a hot cup of cocoa and read on for our cosy interior inspiration and the best wallpapers to backdrop the room you never want to leave.
