We visited Cath (and her dog Gracie) in her home in Stroud to chat about all her favourite ways to unwind, what her perfect week ..read more

Twixmas derives from the old English phrase ‘betwixt’ which means ‘between’. Those lazy days between Christmas and New Year when outfit changes involve getting into a clean set of PJs, breakfast, lunch and dinner merge into one sizeable feast of festive leftovers, and you've got a bit of extra down time to start on those books that have been sat on your shelf all year.
If you're not sure where to start and looking for some inspiration, the Bedfolk team share how they plan to wind down and what they'll be reading before the start of the new year.

We spoke to Freelance Stylist and Art Director, Hattie Lowers, who shares her tips on how to style your wind down space this season.
What colour palettes do you tend to go for in the autumn? Which ones work well together?
