The days are short, the nights are long and the mercury is dropping. Chilly autumnal evenings are officially here, so it only seems fair to treat ourselves to a cosy new purchase – after all, we’ll be spending much more time indoors now.
You can add a sense of warmth to your home without spending a fortune, from fluffy teddy blankets and wintery scents to small rugs (the perfect way to add colour and cosiness to a room, especially in homes with tiled or wooden floors).
Here are eight affordable picks to get you started.

This throw will help you achieve maximum levels of cosiness as the nights draw in. Team with a takeaway and a good film and you’ve got yourself a recipe for the perfect evening in.

Candles can cost anywhere up to £50 (and the rest), so this pretty little number from Anthropologie is more than reasonable. It comes in a cute ceramic pot and the candle itself is made from hand-poured natural soy wax, with a cotton wick. It’ll burn for eight hours – the perfect gift for yourself.
