Journal

One of my favourite takeaways from lockdown (don’t shudder as I mention that word) was making everything an occasion. We celebrated the small things, had time to flex our creativity and thought outside the box. It also really taught us all to appreciate the act of sharing. All of these things inspired today’s seasonal make; an easter grazing plate, just in time for next weekend!

Beautiful beds are kind of our thing. Our sumptuous Liberty fabric bedding is a guaranteed step in the right direction to creating a show-stopping and inviting pièce de résistance, but what if something still feels like it’s missing? And what if that something is a statement headboard? Look no further! Introducing our latest collaboration with the self-proclaimed queen of vintage glamour, Pearl Lowe.

Easter is such a special time of the year. There’s an air of optimism as we celebrate the season of new beginnings and there are few tasks as joyful as planning pretty tables for lunches and teas and excitement-filled Easter egg hunts. Every home will have its own Easter traditions but thankfully these seem to come with minimal pressure when compared to Christmas which is certainly part of the reason that Easter is so universally enjoyed. One of our favourite traditions is gathering our favourite people around a spring table and we'd love to share our tips for creating something special.

We’re in that beautiful primaveral season, sitting right on the cusp of winter and spring, where the feeling of sun on our faces is juxtaposed by the lingering chill in the air. And while it feels we’re teetering on the edge of something glorious in nature, the best of the season has already arrived at Coco & Wolf with our latest collection, An Artful Utopia. 

This season's prints are an unapologetic celebration of spring. Curated to add textural depth and visual vibrance to any scheme, the Liberty fabrics are the star of the show, given space to shine by simple, pared back styling. Sleek and modern interiors are softened by light-bouncing fabrics and ruffle edges across cushions and bedding while modern colour blocks are created using pops of citrus and blue. 

All of us here at Coco & Wolf are unashamedly longing for spring. It may be colourful and spring-like in the studio but the season’s cold spells have kept us firmly in winter’s embrace and now? We’re over it. It is time to awaken from the season of hibernation, I'm sure you will agree. With spring comes the glamourising of being overtly productive and spring cleaning everything within an inch of its life, but what about easing into the new season by doing something just for you? 

There isn’t a day that goes by during which we aren’t thankful to work with the design institution that is Liberty fabrics. These sumptuous and tactile cottons and silks are part of Coco & Wolf’s brand DNA and making our products as accessible as possible, all across the world, means, quite simply, sharing the love of Liberty. We hope Coco & Wolf also empowers people to introduce print to their homes, be it alone as hero pieces such as cushions or bedding, or collectively to create maximalist vignettes. To reach even more new-found Liberty lovers working with well-aligned stockists is imperative, and we select only the very best who deliver a wonderful customer experience and value the artisanal craftsmanship behind all of our made in England products. It is, therefore, incredibly exciting, to announce we are now working with one of Britain’s best-loved retail brands, John Lewis. 

Here at Coco & Wolf we believe breakfast is underrated and breakfast in bed even more so! The fact it is so seldom enjoyed adds to its charming appeal. What could be better than being snuggled up under sumptuous, luxuriously soft to touch bedding, morning sunshine pouring through the curtains and enjoying a leisurely and delicious breakfast. Heavenly! Whether it is indulged in as part of a special occasion or just a weekend treat we ae encouraging you to revel in breakfast in bed as soon as possible. 

Ever since our first ever Liberty fabric pillowcase hit the shelves Coco & Wolf have declared a pillowcase a design statement; a decorative element which will elevate your bed from spiritless to spectacular, effortlessly. Whether it’s combined with a contrasting duvet set for maximalist magnificence or sitting pretty atop a straight-out-of-a-hotel pristine white duvet, our signature pillowcases are iconic. A bright beginning every day. With varying styles of pillowcases, knowing your Oxford from your housewife and your scallop from your silk can feel a bit of a minefield so let Coco & Wolf show you the way with our pillowcase style guide. 

When you think of Liberty fabrics your mind may naturally wander to bold shades, conversational prints and eye-catching florals. And while thankfully there are plenty of these show stopping Liberty fabrics which we all know and love, we know there is also a special place in many of our hearts and homes for a luxurious and artful neutral. Over the past few years Coco & Wolf have been working closely with the Liberty fabrics team to develop and recolour many of the much-loved fabrics to create brand new colour ways, often reacting to customer’s desires. After the success of Michelle in Sand back in 2021 it was time to create another pale and interesting print and this time it was ever-favourite Betsy’s turn for a reimagining.

We’ve been easing ourselves quietly and gently into the new year, avoiding the “new year, new me” narrative which feels erroneous during this hibernation period. And while resolutions have been retired there has been an unhurried inclination to sort and organise. Thankfully, as the weather outside is so dreary, there is plenty of opportunity to pop on a calm playlist, light my favourite candles and have a clear out in preparation for the big spring clean which ebbs ever closer. 

Christmas may have been and gone but the weather outside is still pretty frightful! Thankfully, blustery winds and never-ending rain is the perfect excuse for staying at home but while we’re all trying to be more mindful before reaching for the thermostat it’s time to be a little more considered in how we create a warm and cosy homely space. 

Every December, while most of the world anticipates Christmas, the interiors world waits with bated breath for the announcement of the Colour of the Year. This influential colour often shapes many interior and product design decisions throughout the year and this year’s vivacious shade will be no different. Introducing, Pantone 18-1750 Viva Magenta. 

One of our favourite things about the time between Christmas and New Year is the celebratory and festive feel that hangs in the air. No one knows what day it is, long walks with friends end gathered round roaring fires and there’s cheese, chocolate and leftovers galore. During this time, when friends and family come and go, it feels extra special to punctuate their presence with a delicious, conversation starting cocktail. Our repertoire is fairly extensive but there were two standout recipes which we couldn’t wait share with you. Both are perfect for 'Twixtmas or New Years Eve and while the White Russian absolutely has to have some booze, the clementine mojito is just as delicious with or without. Get that shaker ready….

Coco & Wolf would like to wish all of our customers a wonderful Christmas and prosperous new year. In the year we all regained some sense of normality, more than ever we are so incredibly grateful for your continued support.

With only four more sleeps til the big day, the chances are you’ve turned your mind to the on the day details (or you’re still shopping and haven’t got anything wrapped but we’ll gloss over that). For us, one of the most memorable parts of Christmas Day and the days surrounding it are the conversation and laughter which take place around the table. It really does feel like the centre of celebrations so it’s only right that we offer the table a little extra attention. 

The gift of giving is impossible to ignore during this festive season. Psychologically proven to boost our own happiness, shopping for other people is undeniably the true spirit of Christmas. Thinking of things they will love, wrapping with care and writing a tag and then seeing them open your gift and hopefully love it is such a joyful experience.

At Coco & Wolf we have a theory about the very best Christmas gifts. They should fall into one of two categories; a luxury you may not treat yourself to, or something which adds pleasure or joy to your every day. If you manage to find something which ticks both boxes then you truly have struck gold. And in our opinion the most golden, universal Christmas gift from Coco & Wolf which everyone would be absolutely thrilled to receive is our classic silk pillowcase. 

Here at Coco & Wolf we have a plethora of beautiful Liberty fabric pieces which will be right at home on everybody’s Christmas wish list. From luxury nightwear and silk pillowcases for your favourite girlfriends to personalised quilts for first Christmases and beguiling table linen for the hostess. We're certain you'll find something for everyone! Shop early so you can spend the lead up to Christmas enjoying all of the festivities and traditions. Just click the products below to be taken to each category. Their wish is our command!

There is a worldwide collective of Liberty fabric lovers for a very good reason - once you discover the lustrous fabrics, there’s very little chance of you ever turning your back on them. The prints are impossible to resist and the fabrics are some of the most luxurious in the entire world. They are, to put it simply, perfection, and this perfection is what Coco & Wolf was built upon.
