Why, hello there autumn, we’ve been expecting you! After an unusually hot summer, we’re glad to see the cooler weather as it gives us a chance to catch up with our favourite autumn trend, the chunky knit. Endlessly comforting and cosy, the chunky knit never seems to go out of style and this year it’s popping up in more places than ever.

There’s such a luxury to having a nice long 90″ sofa upstairs, a big 72″ table that seats up to 8 people in the kitchen, and truly, it has been glorious to have such a giant bed.
