Lazy Sunday luxuries Author: Style At Home
It’s been a long week. A week where you’ve counted down the days to Sunday, the one day you can totally unwind in your own home and forget about the stresses of the workweek. Lazy Sundays have long been considered one of life’s simplest luxuries, but they’re even more enjoyable during the cold Canadian winters. Wrapping yourself up in a warm wooly blanket, lighting candles, cooking up a tasty treat and throwing on your favourite feel-good movie – there’s nothing like a lazy day spent at home.
Read on for 10 luxuries that will help you to achieve the perfect Lazy Sunday this winter, from the essentials like your favourite magazines and music to creature comforts like relaxing room spray and cashmere socks.
The must-have essential for the ultimate cold-weather Sunday is a soft throw. Whether you’re tucked up in bed or curled up on the sofa, a luxurious throw like this faux fur blanket will keep you warm from head to toe. Exotic faux fur throw in Siberian Fox, Restoration Hardware, $115.
Recreate a serene spa environment in your home with a collection of aromatherapy candles. Canadian candlemakers Woodlot are masters of eco-friendly coconut wax candles, including Rekindle, a warm and relaxing blend of vanilla and sandalwood. Rekindle coconut wax candle, Woodlot, $29.
Unwind with your favourite fragrance in the air, like Illume’s Desert Tulip room spray with notes of white tea, mandarin, tulips and musk. Alternatively, spray on your favourite throw to catch the scent as you curl up with your latest read. Desert Tulip Essential Room and Linen Spray, Illume, $20.
For the full spa experience, load your favourite movie on the laptop, run a hot bath and dip in for a serene afternoon soak. These all-natural coconut and basil bath salts will nourish your skin as you fall deep into relaxation mode. Enliven bath salts, Brika, $55 for a pack of five test tubes.
Luxury comes in many forms, but there are few simple luxuries more pleasurable than toasty warm tootsies. Treat your feet to soft cashmere socks made in Scotland. Cashmere bed socks, The White Company, $50 a pair.
Whether your ultimate Sunday at home includes the high-energy soul of Motown or the laid-back chill of Bon Iver, a good sound system is the only way to pump out the tunes. Hook up the small-yet-powerful Sonos speaker and control your favourite tracks wirelessly from anywhere in your home using the handy iPhone app. Play:3 speaker, Sonos, $329.
If you’re without a fireplace this winter, cozy up with a hot water bottle instead. For that extra dash of luxury, opt for one with a soft cashmere cover. Cashmere hot water bottle, Restoration Hardware, $50.
