Rainy Day Essentials to Feel Cosy at Home

Category: home and DIY

A lot of the time bad weather can mean a bad mood as well. Bucketing rain and grey skies can notably affect a joyful disposition, especially if plans have to be cancelled and you have to wait out the storm inside. However, a day inside can definitely be to your benefit. When it’s chilly outside, rugging up for a little pampering will make you feel invigorated and restored for when the sun is out again.

Alternatively, a day inside is the perfect occasion to accomplish those neglected house projects you’ve been meaning to get around to. Whether it’s getting snuggled up in your fluffy socks with your favourite movie, revamping your abode or getting inventive in the kitchen, Stockland Wetherill Park has all the rainy-day inspiration you’ll need.

 Rainy Day Essentials Bath and Body

Most of us don’t feel up to busy meetings or public outings when the weather is unfavourable. Instead, we want to cosy up in our favourite pyjamas, binge watch our favourite show and enjoy some self-care pampering! And who says your PJs have to be any less sophisticated than your daywear? We’re loving the sleepwear range from Cotton On Body. Terracotta tones and floral prints make for a refined and comforting combination.

After all, when you work hard, you deserve to rest hard as well. Use a rainy day to indulge in that mid-afternoon nap or hour-long bubble bath, and when it’s cold outside, a hot bath or an at home facial is just the thing to get you refreshed for the days ahead. Come into Priceline today to check out their wide range of bath and beauty products perfect for creating your own serene spa experience. And if life’s stresses are taking their toll, we recommend the Tonic Revive Heat Pillow from Sussan to relax tense muscles and relieve aches.

Rainy Day Cosy Living Essentials 

Spending the day indoors is the perfect time to have a look at refreshing your interior design. The right furnishings and styles can make your home the paradise you won’t want to leave on a cloudy day. If you’re in the mood to update your décor, opt for a monochromatic colour palette for timeless style and effortless flair. Our suggestion would be a cool grey to get you through season to season with elegance. Add some warmth to the room with metallic features such as this detailed wall hanging or geometric light feature from Big W. Texture is a brilliant interior design technique that excellently combines luxury and cosiness. Opt for furnishings featuring tassels, fringe or tactile fabrics to master this look.

Swap out the rainbow colours for copper and gold for a contemporary version. One of the biggest interior design movements is filling your house with plants, plants and more plants!

Rainy Day Essentials Kitchen Goodies 

If you’re a connoisseur in the kitchen, a rainy day is the ideal chance to turn on the oven and whip up something scrumptious to enjoy while the weather is bad. Dreary days gives you the chance to stock up the freezer, or try that new dinner recipe you’ve had tucked away. However, we think the best way to lighten up a cloudy day is to gather the baking gear and create some sweet treats to enjoy over a warming cup of tea!
