As the weather finally brings a cool change to Perth, it’s time to make sure your home is ready for the winter months.

Put those fans back in storage for next year and bring out the comfy throws and cushions, the flannelette sheets and the deep winter hues. If your home is in need of a bit of interior décor TLC then check out this list of Perth’s best retail outlets for refreshing your style this season.

Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids

PotterybarnIf you haven’t already heard Pottery Barn landed in Perth mid-last year. The American upscale home furnishings store is known to many as featuring humorously in the Friends episode The One with the Apothecary Table, where Rachel secretly furnishes Phoebe’s entire apartment to look like a Pottery Barn catalogue.

But, whether you’re after an apothecary table or not, there is a stack of home décor perfect for turning your home into a cosy winter retreat.

Their new Dale Leather Armchair with sweeping arms and exposed wood is a gorgeous winter piece. Add some plump cushions for a comfy place to escape to on a rainy day.

If you have tiles, laminate or wooden floors you’ll want to make them more welcoming on your feet in winter. Pottery Barn carries a selection of printed rugs to add some comfort and colour to your place.

Location: 630, Hay Street, Perth

Their sister store specifically for children’s furnishings, Pottery Barn Kids, has you covered for winter duvets, children’s sized rugs, desks and gorgeous rocking chairs for nurseries.

West Elm

Westelm1Also part of the Pottery Barn family and adjoining the store on Hay Street mall is West Elm, a modern furniture and home décor delight.

One of the store’s latest editions for winter – the Mid-Century Pop-Up Storage Coffee Table (pictured) – is sure to turn heads when you uncover the nifty fold out storage compartment inside. The walnut veneer finish and marble leaf top bring the retro look back in a refreshed modern way.

Westelm2The Urban Sofa has been a recent popular customer purchase in store. The heathered tweed and down-wrapped cushions make it easy to sink into and stay a while. Pair it with a knit throw rug and a faux fur cushion or two for a winter cabin feel.

Location: 635 Hay Street, Perth 

Adairs

Adairs1Located on the first floor of the retail outlet shopping centre Watertown, Adairs has got you and your bed covered this season.

Stay snuggly during the cold winter nights with an Australian wool quilt.

The Mini Jumback is a cosy 95 per cent wool and 5 per cent cashmere option or opt for the Gainsborough 100 per cent wool quilt, made from all Australian wool but manufactured in China for a cheaper alternative.

Adairs2They also have a range of flannelette sheets and chunky throws to make your bed the ultimate Sunday morning sleep in luxury.

Bed Bath N’ Table

Bedbathntable1It looks as if stone is going to be the go-to colour this season for your bathroom accessories. Bed Bath N’ Table offer a range of practical and sweet vintage storage containers for the laundry and bathroom in stone, brown, grey and a vibrant red for those who want to add a splash of colour to their home for those overcast days.

Bedbathntable2They have a large range of Morgan and Finch throws including the cosy and extremely luxurious Arctic Faux Fur Throw in variations of browns and greys for $129.95. Pair one with a couple of matching cushions for $49.95 each and you won’t ever want to leave your couch or bed.

Bed Bath N’ Table has two stores in Perth City, with one in Forrest Chase and another at WaterTown.

For a full catalogue visit: bedbathntable.com.au.

Locations: Forrest Chase, 200 Murray Street, Perth & WaterTown, 840 Wellington Street, Perth

Myer

Myer1Always a useful go-to for everything from updating your winter wardrobe to finding a new living room statement piece, Myer in Forrest Chase is sure to offer something to suit any home.

Myer2Like a number of other stores, Myer is showcasing the magic of metallics this winter. Using white, light grey, dark grey or black as your backdrop consider adding some metallic highlights to your home this winter in subtle ways such as on cushions, lamp stands, clocks, photo frames or vases. This adds a bit of much-needed excitement during the more dreary months. But be sure to not over do it, you want your pieces to be subtle statements, rather than making the whole room scream bling!

Check out myer.com.au for more inspiration.

Location: Forrest Chase, 200 Murray Street, Perth

Sheridan

SheridanIf there’s one thing you want to get winter ready, it’s your bed. As ironic as it may seem everyone still wants a bed that’s so comfy you never want to get out of it in the morning.

Sheridan at Watertown carries an extensive range of sheets, quilts and blankets to make your bed the perfect getaway.

Being a retail outlet, the Watertown store offers great discounts on the much-loved Australian brand.

You will also find an entire wall dedicated to carrying a large selection of bathroom towels in a wide range of colours. So if you’re looking to replace those light and bright summer towels, it shouldn’t be too hard to find the exact winter hue you’re after.

Location: WaterTown, 840 Wellington Street, West Perth

David Jones

DavidjonesMuch like Myer, David Jones also offers a one-stop-shop for home necessities. Grab your cosy throws and flannelette sheets, as well as new bathroom towels in refreshed winter shades.

They carry an extensive range of Le Creuset cast-iron cookware, so you can find the perfect dish you need to create that hearty winter stew. The dishes look gorgeous in plain white or deep red, so don’t shut it away in a cupboard, but keep it on display in your kitchen to bring a hearty warmth into the heart of your home.

Here, you’ll find many unique minimalist pieces for your home like the classic Hunter Grand Floor Lamp, made of simple lines and material to fit into any home.

While the Uchiwa Lounge Chair makes for the perfect winter reading nook and its dramatic shell shape will really grab attention.
