Chic Accessories, Fragrances, and Sensory delights for a Winter Home.

When it comes to the frosty dry air of South Africa's mid-year season, winter fragrances, sensory delights and cosy luxuries are your secret weapon for defining a home interior which matches the ambience of the frigid environment.

Interior designers understand that the changing seasons often offer the perfect opportunity to revamp your home's look and allow you to emotionally connect with your surroundings in a personal way. We offer our key thoughts on how to create a fragrant and aesthetically pleasing journey through your winter home.

Fleece knits and chunky mohairs

First and foremost, it's essential to keep warm! And nothing quite holds on to warmth like a luxurious mohair blanket, wrap, or shawl. Local is Lekker is an exceptional online homeware store that pays special attention to seasons and offers incredible specials on their more sophisticated lines of materials.

• Mohair - Local is Lekker

If genuine furs leave you feeling a little cold in spirit, faux fur is your next best bet. @Home is perhaps South Africa's premier homeware store with a sophisticated selection of some of the best handmade faux furs at incredibly reasonable prices for the season.

• Faux Fur - @Home

However, as plush as Faux Fur can be, not everyone finds this fuzzy material as appealing as say chunky hand-stitched wool or knitted fleece pieces that you can wear. As South Africa's number one retail store for quality, Woolworths continues to keep abreast of all the latest fashions while incorporating the chosen materials of your choice.

Fragrances, candles and diffusers

Right! So, we're all warmed up and ready for the frigid months ahead. Now it's time to make the most out of the frosty aesthetic and include a few sentiments. From scented candles, incense and tropical fragrances to the natural appeal of diffusers basked in essential oil, here's the download on the best stores to find them.

The first thing you have to consider is the sort of fragrances that speak to you. Just like your taste in interior design, your fragrance preference is always unique. For winter, warm fragrances such as wood scents, pine, or earthy spices such as cinnamon or ginger work exceptionally well for this time of the year. Hygge is a Danish online retail store that is all about warm and inviting fragrances. Take a look at their various fragrances.

• Special winter fragrances - Hygge

Air diffusers are plain, simple, and used to fill your room with tiny particles of essential oils that have a variety of health benefits. Not only do they create a pleasant smelling fragrance, but they also provide a calming and mood-balancing effect on the psyche. Swanthetic is a local online retail store that stocks exceptional pieces.

• Mini Diffuser and Succulent Set - Swanthetic

Warm, rich in fragrance, and sometimes even bearing a woody undertone, scented candles are both aesthetically pleasing, and define a winter look and feel. Africology is a local online and retail store with a special focus on the family. From essential oils, incense and scented candles of extraordinary value, you'll be spoiled for choice and well-priced goods.
