Here’s all you need to know about buying a new duvet:

What duvet filling should you choose
Natural fillings offer more warmth and are more breathable than synthetic fibres. Natural fillings consist of duck or goose feathers or down, down being softer and lighter than normal feathers, while still offering loads of warmth.

They’re also much more durable than synthetic fillings, but are more difficult to clean and care for, so keep this in mind before purchasing.

When it comes to synthetic fillings, hollow fibre is one of the most popular and is normally made from polyester and nylon. The hollow centre ensures fluffiness and the fabric is also extremely durable.

Tog ratings
The ratings range from 1 tog (being the coolest) to 15 tog (being the warmest).
A quick guide to which tog to use when:
For a summer duvet you’ll want anything between 4.5 and 7.5 tog.
For a winter duvet, opt for 13.5 tog and higher.

Duvet size
Although it might seem fairly obvious to buy a queen size duvet for a queen size mattress, experts advise that buying a duvet one size bigger than your bed is in fact more practical. You won’t be fighting your partner for covers and the bigger sized duvet will make your bed look puffier and more comfortable.
*Note that when it comes to buying duvets for young children, it’s best to stick to a smaller size (single) to prevent over heating.

Reduce, reuse, recycle.

If ever there was a snappy call to action, it’s this. We see the phrase everywhere but what does it actually mean and how can we actually ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’? And why should we?

Reduce…
Yes, it sounds like a cop out. But reducing your single use waste will make a huge difference.
Stop getting a takeaway coffee every day or take a travel mug with you.
Stop buying lunches in non-recyclable packaging, either make your own lunch or take a container with you to reuse.
Think about plastic cutlery, do you really need it? Maybe keep a set at your desk that you wash every day.
And, we know you know this one, but stop buying plastic bags. Plastic bags alone are the highest contributors to pollution. Buy a reusable shopping tote and actually use it.
And we’re pretty sure we don’t need to remind you to say no to the straw, as well as to plastic water bottles.
These simple changes mean you’re not throwing things away at every minute of the day.

Reuse…
If you must buy something in masses of plastic and packaging, then think of ways to reuse it. For example, yoghurt containers make for handy storage containers and glass jars are useful for around the house. The point here is, think about what you’re going to do with the waste of whatever you’ve just bought.

… Then recycle
Yes, recycling is great and you should already be doing it, but it should be the last resort for reducing your waste. If you’re mindful about how you consume, then you won’t end up with a load of trash that now needs to be recycled.
The best way to get into a recycling groove is to go out and buy a big recycling bin and get into the habit of washing out your recyclables and popping them in the separate bin.

5 common decor mistakes that make your home look cluttered

Mistake: Over-sized furniture
Solution: Save yourself a lot of money and headache by breaking out the tape measure and jotting down a room’s dimensions.

Mistake: Poor Bedroom Lighting
Solution: Reduce the clutter by investing in beautiful soft pendant lights that hang from the ceiling by the bed. Other than providing a nightlight for bookworms, they make a nice change from a stereotypical lamp. When choosing bulbs, opt for a warm white that creates an ambient light and a gorgeous glow.

Mistake: Someone else’s kitchen cupboards
Solution: Paint them. A fresh coat can easily update a tired look. With a little bit of elbow grease and the right primer, you’ll have a snazzy-looking kitchen in no time.

Mistake: Kids and their clutter
Solution: Don’t be afraid to want to keep your home as you like it. “Even as a mom, I’ve realised how important it is to have a beautiful trendy home that also offers the kids something they’ll enjoy.”

Mistake: The wrong rug
Solution: There’s no point in hiding your rug under a couch where no one can see it, so make sure the rug fits the space where your feet sit in the living room. Bigger is normally always better.
