Skandi-Welsh is the latest Winter interiors look

Looking for that blend of rustic, cosy Welsh interiors with clean and simple Scandinavian functionality this winter? A Llandeilo-based family-run business is showcasing the latest trend to hit home interiors.

Welsh Skandi is a fusion between a modern look with the traditional farmhouse interior, creating a snug, relaxed feel.

Llandeilo-based, family-run interiors business Welsh Otter say the look is about taking inspiration from nature, accessorising with natural materials, and adding a hint of vintage or heritage.

Kim Otterburn, Founder of Welsh Otter said: “In 2017 I set about slowly restoring our 1800s farmhouse in a manner that was sympathetic to Welsh traditions and style. During this time I re-discovered an amazing world of Welsh design and craft, and wonderful old traditions still thriving in the hills, towns and valleys of Wales. From this, Welsh Otter was born.

“At Welsh Otter we specialise in all things Welsh Scandi – designing and manufacturing our own woollen blanket range based on traditional patterns; sourcing heritage items in our monthly vintage drops, and working with artisans in Wales to bring beautiful designs to life.

“So enjoy the perfect antedote to a harsh winter – cosy up, light a candle, remember the heritage, and continue the traditions of the past.”

Lambswool Hot Water Bottles
Our cosy and soft hot water bottles have been delicately knitted in our ‘Caernarfon’ and ‘Llandeilo’ designs.

Each features a lovely geometric pattern in beautiful bold colours- a wonderful present for a loved one. Available in three beautiful designs to warm up in any chilly weather. 

‘Ivy’ Welsh Throw
Bring nature inside – be inspired by the natural world and bring green tones indoors for a sense of freshness and atmosphere.

Our ‘Ivy’ blanket is knitted from deep forest green yarn that looks great with  evergreen leaves and seasonal foliage. 

Lambswool Blankets
We design our lambswool blanket collection from the Welsh Otter studio just outside Llandeilo in South Wales, and each piece is carefully made by artisans in the UK. 

To us, heritage is at the core of our designs – but with a modern twist for the contemporary home. 

We are inspired by vintage carthen and Welsh tapestry patterns, as well as traditional materials and techniques. The tones are inspired by Welsh nature, landscape and weather. Each blanket is a piece of heritage, designed to last a lifetime.
