Home is where the heart is, as they say. And if, like me, you come to life as soon as pumpkin spice season rolls around then odds are you will also have a running wish list of cosy interiors that you can’t wait to get your hands on. If so, you are in the right place.

For lie-in enthusiasts whose response to the phrase ‘go big or go home,’ is always ‘OK I will simply go home,’ having a cosy space where you hibernate and rest your head will likely be essential. And as the nights draw in and the winter chill begins to pick up, there really is no reason why you should feel guilty about this mindset (nor should you at any point in the year, FYI). In fact, it’s time to embrace the cosy ethos.

Autumn’s arrival means the perfect excuse to cancel all plans, start a Netflix marathon, and hibernate under all the cosy blankets, cushions, and duvets you can find. If that all sounds great to you, these 25 items will help you achieve your cosy goal, so keep reading, and find your ultimate hygge in no time.

We only include products that have been independently selected by Bustle's editorial team. However, we may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.

Blankets

Linnea Andersson Blanket

Made in collaboration with Swedish artist and illustrator Linnéa Andersson, this Arket blanket is made from super soft lambswool. It is ultra cosy and warm, but still lightweight, meaning you won't get overheated.

African print throw - Yellow Red Bird Throw

Love a bright and bold throw to add some colour to your sofa or simple bedding? Bespoke Binny has the best options, all of which are super soft and fleecy, and will look great too.

ANYDAY Fleece Throw

With ten different colours ranging from mustard to pink, this £12 fleece throw is an easy way to add colour to your home in a cosy way. Plus, it’s machine washable, which makes it practical too.

Pure New Wool Blanket

Yes, this blanket is a major splurge, but Tekla is the place to be for quality, keep-forever fabrics for the home and one of their throws is a must for cosy winter months.

Calhoun & Co. Good at Naps Woven Throw Blanket

Urban Outfitters

If the soft, dotted cotton, reversible finish, and contrast fringe doesn’t do it for you, the sleepy slogan certainly will.

Bedding

Cotton flannel double duvet cover set

This stylish bedding set is made from soft, herringbone-patterned cotton flannel making it extra cosy to the touch. Plus, because it’s super neutral, you can add any throw and cushions on top.

Mela Weighted Blanket

Really committed to being cosy all season long? Invest in a weighted blanket, which is not only warm and soft, but can also help you to feel calmer and less anxious.

Teddy Fleece Duvet Cover And Pillowcase Set

Three words: Fleece Teddy Bedding. Doesn’t that just soothe your soul straight away? Available in six neutral tones, it is the perfect base layer for winter months.

Cushions

Teddy Fleece Medium V-Shaped Pillow

Marks & Spencer

Technically a pillow and therefore not a cushion, a V-shape pillow is an absolute must for bed-based cosying. Offering medium support to your back and neck, the removable cover makes it a pragmatic purchase.

Off White Spot Staying In Bed Today Logo Cushion

Some days you just need to stay in bed and watch an entire season of Gilmore Girls. This pom-pom-trimmed cushion will do the explaining for you.

Ari Cushion With Tassels

Designed by maximalist Home Interiors icon Justina Blakeney, this cushion is made from 100% wool, making it soft and super cosy to lay your head on while watching TV.

Haddie Mongolian Fur Cushion

Texture is key to achieving cosy vibes, so get your fill with this shaggy MADE sale buy. A treat for any sofa, bed or accent chair.

Chunky Knit Wool Pillow

Rectangular pillows are far more versatile than their rectangular sisters, so cosy up with Anthropologie’s chunky knitted takes in red or blue.

White Light Up Cloud Cushion

OK, it is meant for children, but studies show that soft lights can have a calming effect on your mood. So for that reason (and just how cute it is, generally) this Light Up Cloud Cushion is now at the top of my wishlist.

£9

Extras

Love Row Home ‘Five More Minutes’ Wall Art Print

What’s more cosy than a lie in? This print embodies all the best factors of a cosy morning: sleeping in, drinking coffee in bed, and staying inside!

Interlude Candles Pumpkin Spice Scented Candle

Name me a better scent than pumpkin spice. I’ll wait. With a top note of ginger and nutmeg, this soy wax candle is the perfect blend of spicy pumpkin and sweet vanilla buttermilk.

Glittery garland

There is something inherently cosy about the festive season, isn’t there? And this glittery garland is a rather sophisticated way to bring a spot of holiday cheer to your home.

Custom Neon Sign

Still thinking about the Love Island neon signs? The soft glow of this design is more appropriate for the winter months, though.

Velor touch 100% cotton bathrobe

This may not be a piece for the home, technically, but what is more cosy than a bathrobe you can wrap up tight in? Mango’s cotton version is so soft to the touch that you will want to live in it.

Rugs & Furniture

Polar Shaggy Rug

Back on the texture trail, this soft, fluffy rug is just the ticket. It one comes in a range of sizes and absolutely purrs of 'hygge'.

Sandared Grey Pouffe

Ideal as a footstool or as an extra seat, this soft pouffe is as cosy as it is practical.

Shearling Boo Pillow

Urban Outfitters

This shearling pillow is worth every penny. I bought my mum one for Christmas and we’ve been obsessed ever since.

Welsh Mountain Brown Sheepskin Rug

This super snuggly rug will keep your feet warm and look excellent by a warm fire during a cosy night in.
