Calling all Southern-Hemisphere-Dwellers!
Pull out your ugg boots, dust off your beanie and stock up on Paw-Paw… winter is just around the corner. A change of season calls for us to rearrange our wardrobe by pulling our winter woolies to the front and stocking our swimmers and maxi-dresses at the back. And, perhaps making a few necessary purchases – new leather boots anyone?
But how often do we think about giving our bed a seasonal make-over? It makes sense doesn’t it? We ensure that our bodies are snug and warm during the day while still looking stylish… so why not make sure the same applies at night? Manchester Warehouse offers stylish and affordable options for a winter bed makeover this year
1. Underlay
An underlay not only gives extra warmth during the winter months, its comfy cushioning is a great way to relieve aches and pains from an uncomfortable or poor-quality mattress.
2. Bedspread
A new bedspread can be as good as a holiday. It will give your entire bedroom a new look and feel while not breaking the bank. I love dark colours for winter – navy blues, dark reds and browns are my favs.
3. Throw Rug
You may think a throw rug is only for keeping your tootsies cold when snuggling on the couch. But a throw rug looks gorgeous draped over a bedspread and adds that special touch of warmth and sweetness to a bed.
4. Woolen Blanket
If you think that cotton blanket you’ve been using all summer is going to cut the mustard this winter, you are wrong. But fear not, a pure Australian woolen blanket from Manchester Warehouse is cheaper than you think. For $189.95 you can experience the luxury and warmth of these beautiful blankets for many winters to come.
5. The Electric Blanket
Sooner or later, us Aussies need to come to the realisation that winter in Australia can be bloody cold. It’s not all beaches and Bubble-O-Bills. For those frigid nights, one can always rely on a trusty electric blanket.
6. Throw Pillows
I live my life by this one philosophy – ‘You Can Never Have Enough Throw Cushions On Your Bed’. And that’s all I have to say about the matter.
I will be making a trip home to Australian in June this year, so I expect all my friends to have their guest beds winter-ready! ?
