Everyone knows mums enjoy being cosy, as well as taking pride in how beautiful and organised their home looks at all times!

One way to make a room appear cosier, as well as making it look nice is to add texture, and throw blankets do just that! A throw blanket helps to add pattern, colour and warmth to any room it’s placed in! You can even bring in more than one throw blanket as each one can help to bring a new look. This works particularly well when matched to other accessories such as decorative cushions. Throws are an inexpensive way to change a room’s appeal and flavour as well as making a room more homely.

Scented Candles

If your mum is anything like my mum, then it’s more than likely that she has an unhealthy obsession with candles. There are few Mums who don’t enjoy the warm glow of a candle on a breezy night. With a little bit of persistence, it’s easy to find a candle that matches perfectly the personality of the individual you’re gifting.

With so many different candles being available, it can often be hard to decide on just one. There are many different candles, but the best are scented candles.

The best-scented candles are known across the world as they have so many different scents. Yankee Candles have a vast range of scented candles and even have one made especially for Mother’s Day! To see what scents your mum prefers is by taking her shopping and asking which scented candles she likes!

This is a good way to gauge which scents she does (and doesn’t) enjoy. Candles are also an excellent way to incorporate colour into a room. Remember to be careful with what colours you choose this Mother’s Day!

Scatter Cushions

If your mum loves curling up on the couch and watching TV but she already has a blanket, what else can you get her? Decorative cushions/pillows! Decorative scatter cushions are an excellent way to make a living room more exciting as well as increasing comfort.

These scatter cushions have become a common sight throughout British homes since the 80s. However, this age-old interior design trend is still proving popular among mothers that are looking for a unique twist! This makes scatter cushions the perfect gift for your Mum this Mother’s Day!

You could even go the extra mile and make your mum a personalised cushion! Whether it’s a quote that your mother uses often, one of her favourite song lyrics or even just a message written by you straight from the heart, your mum would be reminded of you every time she sits down! A perfect Mother’s Day gift!

Your mother may even take inspiration from your gift and turn her home into a leafy oasis!  Some of the best plants to incorporate into your home are the Spider Plant, Peace Lily, and a mixture of different cacti.

Decorative Rugs

Rugs often help to complete the look of a room and help to add colour and character. While they may cost more than a bottle of wine from the corner shop, they’re more than worth the investment! Even if she already has one, it may well be time for an upgrade. With rugs lasting so long, it makes for a perfect long-term gift!

Whether it be a plush shaggy rug or floral-patterned rug, there are few mothers who don’t love the warm, cushy feeling of a rug underfoot. If you look hard enough, you can find a rug that matches perfectly your mother’s personality and style!

As well as adding a burst of colour to a room, rugs can also be used to increase warmth whether underfoot or just in general.

Shaggy rugs are the perfect type of rug to incorporate a little extra warmth into a room and certainly help to add a bit of comfort! Whether a rug is going to brighten up a dark room or help to change up an entire colour scheme, they should not be overlooked as a gift! Treat your Mum this Mother’s Day!
