There’s something about a Bank Holiday that invites a little reset — whether it’s pottering in the garden, tackling the jobs we’ve been putting off, or simply enjoying a slower pace with a cup of tea in hand. With the Late May Bank Holiday just around the corner, it’s the perfect excuse to give your home a light seasonal refresh — nothing drastic, just thoughtful little touches that make everyday living feel a bit more special.
Here are a few simple ways to enjoy your space this long weekend:
1. Switch Things Up with Soft Furnishings
Sometimes all it takes is a new cushion on the sofa or a re-styled corner to change the whole feel of a room. Our Harris Tweed cushions and wool throws are perfect for adding texture, colour and that warm, quietly luxurious feel. Whether you’re going bold or neutral, a few considered pieces can breathe new life into a space without redecorating.
2. Embrace the Season
Bring the outside in with garden-gathered greenery or a jug of seasonal flowers from your local market (or hedgerow). Pair them with natural textures — wool, linen, wood — for a timeless, grounded look that feels right at home in both town and country.
3. Tidy, Don’t Overhaul
If you’re feeling the urge to organise, keep it gentle. A few hours spent sorting a cupboard or clearing a surface can do wonders. Set a timer, pop the kettle on, and make it feel less like a task and more like a ritual.
4. Shop Mindfully
Bank Holiday sales can be tempting, but we always champion thoughtful purchasing — pieces you’ll love and use for years to come. Every item in our collection is made to last, with craftsmanship and sustainability at its heart. Choose once, buy well, and enjoy it every day.
5. Make Time to Do Nothing
Finally, remember you don’t have to be productive. This weekend is just as much about rest as it is about doing. Curl up with a book, take a slow walk, or simply sit in your favourite chair and do absolutely nothing at all. That’s what long weekends are made for.
