The Edit | A cosy night in

October 22, 2021

Hygge at home in a calming grey and beige living room | The Edit - everything you need for a cosy night in | These Four Walls blog

As the weather gets colder and the nights grow longer, there’s nothing better than curling up on the sofa for a cosy night in. So, that’s the focus of this latest instalment of ‘The Edit’ – my ongoing series sharing curated selections to help you make the most of simple, relaxed moments at home and beyond.

Just scroll down for my pick of timeless, considered buys for hunkering down and unwinding in style and comfort. You’ll find relaxed loungewear, snuggly blankets and slippers, beautiful vessels for hot drinks (or even a cheeky glass of wine!), the perfect takeaway tray, and possibly the world’s most elegant version of Scrabble. Just add softly flickering candles, your nearest and dearest and, in my case, a gently snoring cat and voilà – the perfect autumn-winter evening awaits.

A few snaps from the gorgeous @gubiofficial showro A few snaps from the gorgeous @gubiofficial showroom in London, which I visited during @clerkenwelldesignweek earlier this week. I missed the opening event for this last year, so it was great to finally have a look around in person. The light is stunning, as is GUBI's selection of contemporary and classic designs - including the sculptural and futuristic F300 lounge  chair, first designed by Pierre Paulin in the 1960s and recently relaunched. 

Which room or corner is your favourite...?

Eight years ago today. Carousel posts didn't exist Eight years ago today. Carousel posts didn't exist then so I'm using our anniversary as an excuse to share some of my favourite wedding photos.

I have so many happy memories from the day, but what I remember the most is all the laughter. And the funniest best men's (Chris had four!) speech I've ever heard. I wish we'd had a videographer just to capture that.

Anyway, thanks @small_round_things for the last eight years - and for the 13 before we actually got around to tying the knot!

8 & 9.  Wisteria at @ntbarringtoncourt in Somerset 
10.  Brunch at the always-wonderful @lunitapasteleria

I now have this design in three different colourways around the house, and this is definitely my favourite to date!
