transformations for the colder months
aristocratic touches - the winter season is the perfect time to add a touch of opulent textures to your home and your wardrobe ... imagine draping yourselves in bold fabrics, rich opulent colours or warm neutrals, toning textures, patterns and translating this mood into our town or country homes with a lavish touch, maybe influenced by Ralph Lauren
tartan and tweed - just as tweed and tartan seems to undergo seasonal style
rejuvenation, what’s to say our furniture and furnishings can’t too?
Long gone are the prudish stigmas traditionally associated with these
Highland patterns, now they offer a touch of sophistication and/or
homeliness in a room. The choice is yours to go for dark colours for a
bolder statement, or to keep it light with neutral tones.
do you know? tartans are plaids with a name to identify a community;
plaids are any crisscross patterns of two or more colours;

the scotland shop
offer traditional tartan blankets and much more in the way of home accessories that feel good all year round, especially during the
'hibernation' season when there's nothing better to wrap up in a
deliciously soft woolly blanket woven in Scotland in your favourite tartan the tartan blanket co also have real wool
and recycled wool rugs in plains, checks and herringbone too and house of tartan sell ribbons in any tartan.
a touch of sparkle should be a necessity in every home as the days grow
shorter and the dark nights longer. Rich gold hues can turn your humble
abode into a palace fit for a queen. Don’t go overboard with metallic
montages, gaudy is not chic. Instead mix with neutral toning and earthly
textures.
and what’s winter without fur? It is the ultimate decorative protection from
Baltic climates in our igloos - snuggling up with a gloriously decadent Oka fake fur throw and enjoying a little 'me or us' time, reading, watching a film, or simply relaxing ... whether you opt for shearling, faux or real in the form of throws, cushions or rugs, make sure it’s soft, thick and well-groomed!
and animal print cushions or more are luxuriously fun and a perfect finishing touch when creating winter warm feelings.
