Single-glazed windows, no central heating system or stingy housemates; there's a whole host of reasons why you might be struggling to get warm in your own home.

The truth of the matter is, we can't convince your landlord that a house without radiators should basically be illegal in 2017, or bully your flatmate into letting you keep the heating on for more than 20 minutes in the morning. What we can do, though, is give you a list of the cosiest of cosy homeware bits currently on the market so you can make yourself into a human blanket burrito until the sun comes out again in, oh, April.

Click through to find out how to make your house cosy.

Red Wine Decanter

Nothing warms the heart like a big glass of red wine and no two warmer colours exist together than red and gold, so put your hands together and fill this rather handsome decanter with the most originally-expensive-but-now-on-offer red wine your local supermarket has to offer.

Boja Gold Foil Decanter, £26, available at Oliver Bonas

Sheepskin Throw

Just in case whatever surface you're sitting on isn't cosy enough, add layers and warmth between it and your bum with this sheepskin throw, perfect for transforming wood or metal seated chairs into something a little more comfortable.

Genuine New Zealand Long Wool Curly Sheepskin, £75, available at Rockett St. George

Teapot

Fill with whatever tea you please, just don't be foolish enough to let it go cold.

Castell Orange Teapot, £35, available at Habitat

Lantern

This lantern is specifically designed to fulfil the definition of cosy – it's got "hygge" right there in the name.

Wall Hanging

If you've got a wall in your bedroom that faces the outside of the house, chances are your room can get a little cold. Block out the chill and make your walls look dreamy with this thick wool wall hanging.
