Creating a Cosy Home with Avoca: Embrace Comfort and Elegance

As the seasons shift and the days grow shorter, our homes become a sanctuary - a place to unwind, reflect, and surround ourselves with warmth and comfort. At Avoca, we believe that creating a cosy home is an art form, a delicate balance of textures, scents, and soft lighting that brings a space to life. Whether you're settling in with a good book or hosting a gathering of friends, our collection of luxurious wool throws and blankets, cushions, and scented candles and diffusers will help you craft a haven of comfort and style.

The Embrace of an Avoca Throw:

Few things compare to the cosy feeling of an Avoca throw draped across your lap or wrapped around your shoulders on a chilly evening. Woven with care at our mill in County Wicklow, each throw carries the legacy of Irish craftsmanship. The rich heritage of our weaving process is reflected in every thread, offering both timeless elegance and exceptional quality.

Our collection of throws and blankets are all produced from our little mill in County Wicklow, Ireland. We offer a wide range of styles to choose from our most popular Lambswool Throws, soft & lofty Mohair Blend Throws, luxurious Cashmere Blend Throws and our beloved Donegal Tweed Throws

Simple Tips for a Warm, Inviting Space

There is no substitute for being enveloped by a space that feels lived in, warm, and utterly inviting. While many homes are beautifully designed with stylish furniture and décor, true cosiness is about more than just aesthetics. It’s about creating a space that feels comfy, welcoming, and filled with good vibes - a place where you can truly relax and unwind.

Creating that kind of warmth in your home is easier than you might think. You don’t need a complete overhaul - just a few key pieces thoughtfully arranged can transform any corner into a cosy retreat. Here are some of our favourite tips for adding that extra layer of warmth to your home:

Tips:

  • Layer Up with Throws, Throws are one of the simplest ways to add texture and warmth to a space. Drape them over your sofa, armchair, or bed to instantly make the room feel more inviting.
  • Pile on the Cushions, Cushions are like the cherry on top of your cosy home sundae. They add comfort and style, and can easily be switched out to reflect the changing seasons or your current mood.
  • Set the Mood with Scented Candles and Diffusers, The right scent can change everything. Scented candles and diffusers do more than just smell good - they create an atmosphere that’s calming and inviting.
  • Create a Nook, Carve out a little haven just for you. It could be a corner of your living room, a window seat, or even a spot by the fire.
  • Let There Be Light, Instead of relying on harsh overhead lights, opt for soft, ambient lighting. Lamps, fairy lights, and, of course, candles, can all help to create a warm, welcoming glow.

Creating a cosy home doesn’t require a lot of effort - just a few thoughtful touches here and there.

Heartwarming pleasures of a cosy night in

Once you’ve created your perfect cosy space, there’s just one thing left to make it complete - a warm cuppa to settle in with. There’s something undeniably comforting about wrapping your hands around a steaming mug of tea, the gentle warmth seeping into your fingers as the soothing aroma fills the room. It’s a simple pleasure, but one that brings an added layer of comfort to your cosy retreat.

At Avoca, we believe that every detail counts when it comes to crafting the perfect night in, and our charming mugs and carefully selected teas are the ideal companions for such moments. Each mug in our collection is thoughtfully designed to be both beautiful and functional, with delicate patterns and a sturdy feel that makes them a joy to use. Whether you prefer a classic cup of Irish breakfast tea or something a little more adventurous, like our herbal blends, there’s a tea to suit every taste and mood.

Cleaning your Avoca wool throw and blanket at home is a simple and rewarding process that ensures your cherished piece retains its beauty and softness. However, it's important to note that this process can be time-consuming and involves a great deal of attention and care to ensure your throw returns to its original state, just cleaner. If your care instructions advise dry cleaning only, we highly recommend following that option for the best results in maintaining the quality of your Avoca wool blanket. As always, enjoy the ongoing warmth and comfort of your Avoca wool throw and blanket, and embrace the cosiness it brings to your home!
