Have you noticed how the light starts to change just a little bit in February? It’s that odd time of year where one moment the sun is peeking through the clouds, and the next, we’re watching a heavy downpour from the comfort of the sofa. While the garden might still be looking a bit sleepy and grey, this is actually the perfect moment to start bringing a little bit of that summer feeling back into our living spaces.
The power of a little bit of colour
When the sky is overcast, our indoor environments can start to feel a bit flat. We’ve long since packed away the festive decorations, and the vibrant greens of spring haven't quite arrived yet. Adding a splash of colour—like a warm, soft peach—is a simple way to lift the mood of a room. It mimics the glow of a sunset and adds a sense of warmth to a space without needing to repaint the walls.
Using textiles to refresh your home is one of the easiest tricks in the book. You don't need a complete overhaul to make a room feel new again. Simply swapping out a few tired accessories for something bright and fresh can make your morning tea feel that bit more cheerful.
Practical comfort for busy homes
One thing we often forget during these colder months is that our homes have to work quite hard for us. Between muddy paws, spilled cocoa, and damp coats, our indoor fabrics take a bit of a beating. This is why looking for materials that are both beautiful and durable is a bit of a game-changer. We often think of water-resistant fabrics as something strictly for the patio, but they are incredibly useful inside the house too.
Our Pack of 2 Page Outdoor/Indoor Cushion Covers (£17.00) is a great example of this. Part of our vibrant peach collection, these 45cm x 45cm square covers are crafted from 100% polyester. While they are designed to be UV-resistant and water-resistant for the garden, those same properties make them wonderfully worry-free for your indoor lounge or kitchen nook. If there’s a spill or a bit of a mess, a simple sponge clean is all they need to look as good as new.
A smooth transition to sunshine
The best part about choosing versatile pieces now is that they’ll be ready to move outside as soon as the weather breaks. These covers feature a hidden zipper for a clean, seamless look, making them feel just as much at home on an armchair as they do on a garden bench. By introducing them to your decor now, you’re essentially getting a head start on your summer garden glow.
Whether you’re looking to create a cosy corner by the window to watch the rain or you’re already planning your first balcony breakfast of the year, adding these durable, peach-toned accents will help bridge the gap between the seasons. Why wait for the sun to come out when you can bring a bit of that sunshine indoors today? Feel free to take a look at our collection and find the perfect fit for your favourite spot.
