Get cosy: the soft furnishings that will update your home this winter
Discover the luxurious bedding and ready-made curtains that UK family business Julian Charles has to offer
It’s been more than 70 years since Julian Greibach opened his first textile manufacturers in Lancashire, signalling the start of a journey that would see a humble curtain company evolve into a multifaceted homeware brand. Though its name has changed from Rectella to Julian Charles, after father and son, its family roots remain, with the company’s legacy passing through the second and third generations.
At its heart is a passion for luxurious products which are also affordable. Online and in 186 stores across the UK, Julian Charles offers a host of interior products – from bedding and duvets, to cushions, ready-made curtains, towels and throws.
Whatever your style, here’s how to cosify your home this winter. It is the season for nesting, after all.
Bedding essentials
Comfort is king, and with Julian Charles’ bedding options, you'll find it even more difficult to get up in the morning. Inject subtle extravagance into your sleeping quarters with this soft, cotton-rich jacquard duvet set, below. Complete with tassels and a timeless paisley design, it's available in a selection of calming tones. Buy it now from £25.
Alternatively, enjoy indulgent hotel chic with the satin stripe white cover, a delicately stylish piece with woven stripes to add a touch of understated glamour to your home (buy it now from £25).

A geometric edge
But it's not just through bedding that you can update your home furnishings, as the right ready-made curtains can transform a space, too. The above contemporary design in grey and yellow tones, which you can buy now from £25, can be used to make a cool, Scandi-inspired statement or to add a loft apartment feel to a room.
The Allure set, in deep silver crushed velvet, pictured below and available with both eyelet and pencil headers, will lend a modern touch to any scheme. Or, if it's something more unassuming you're after, Luna ready-made curtains, with blackout and thermal qualities, are likely to complement all decorating styles.
