When a recession starts really biting interior design trends often turn to the homespun. Not necessarily because we are all creating and making our own cushions and candlesticks but because in tough times, the instinct is to curl up and nest. This season has certainly seen its fair share of cosy accessories and Mad About The House brings some some of the best – perfect to hide away from the autumnal chill and dream of good times coming.

I love the tactile nature of knit and covert the Holly House poufs. I am a pattern designer and printer – clearly I chose the wrong discipline!
love all these knitted items!
Gorgeous aren’t they? I can cope with the thought of autumn and winter now!
