Soul Revival
Winter’s end is the time to pep up your decor.
There may still be a chill in the air, so your feet will appreciate sinking into the hand-knotted Afghan wool of Armadillo’s ‘Odessa’ rug. Arborio, shown here, is one of four available colourways.
Hunkering down through the final weeks of winter calls for interior inspiration to lift the spirits – after all, spring is within sight. cashmere-soft textures in calming, neutral colours will cocoon you through the cold and take you seamlessly into the coming seasons. embrace a delicious sense of warmth with underfloor heating (if you’re building or renovating) or opt for a beautiful new area rug or runner to transform the aesthetic and everyday experience of a space. investing in good-quality fixtures – like window treatments and statement lighting – will deliver you beauty and comfort daily.
