Can’t make it to the slopes this ski season? No problem, we’ve found stylish homeware picks that will bring the après-ski vibe to you.
Whether you enjoy the thrill of hurtling down the side of mountains or not, it’s hard to deny that the ski chalet aesthetic is the ultimate in relaxing, cosy, wintry comfort.
It’s easy to recreate the style in your own home and increase its cosiness factor. Think natural materials in pale, neutral tones, plenty of wooden accents to replicate the pine of a ski lodge and faux fur and sheepskin cushions, blankets and throws artfully draped across sofas and chairs – perfect for snuggling under while watching Ski Sunday and consuming a warming bowl of tartiflette.
Even if you haven’t made it to the slopes this season, bring a taste of the Alps to you with our pick of the best alpine and Nordic-inspired homewares.
Zara long faux fur throw
The faux fur throw is a quintessential part of any ski lodge or chalet’s decor. Keep yours draped on the back of your sofa for easy access on chilly evenings. The irregular shape makes it look even more authentic.
Furn après ski tufted cushion
Bring the après-ski vibes to you with this fun tactile cushion. With embroidered and tufted textures on a snow-white background, it makes the perfect winter accessory, whether you’ve ever skied before or not!
Dunelm alpine boucle spindle wooden arm accent chair
Creamy-coloured boucle and a natural wooden frame in a Scandi design make this accent chair the ultimate choice for injecting chalet vibes into your home. Top it with a checked cushion to play up the winter lodge aesthetic.
Shop Dunelm alpine boucle spindle wooden arm accent chair, £199
Habitat fur-tipped throw
Since the ski chalet vibe is all about increasing a sense of comfort and cosiness, throws and blankets are an absolute must. This large faux fur blanket is perfect for getting underneath with a toasty hot chocolate or vin chaud. We love the soft taupe colour, but it also comes in a charcoal grey option.
M&S Nord side table
Pale wood accents are great for evoking a sense of the ski lodge, and the Nordic-inspired design of this M&S side table transports us to snowier climes. Small enough to be used around the home, either by a sofa or as a bedside table, we’d keep the styling minimal with one or two choice decorative items on top.
Postery Les Alpes poster
Missing the slopes? This poster will instantly transport you to the side of a mountain – you’ll practically be able to feel the rush of cool air against your face. We love the retro design.
Nkuku Malia mug, set of two
Just imagine having your hands wrapped around one of these gorgeous handcrafted mugs as you sip your chocolat chaud on a frosty winter’s morning. The imperfect finish and neutral-coloured glaze perfectly fit the alpine aesthetic, but they won’t look out of place in use all year round.
The White Company sheepskin draught excluder
This item does double duty – not only does sheepskin evoke the aesthetic of a cosy mountainside lodge, but it will keep your home warmer as it keeps chilly draughts out.
Lisa Angel irregular shape olive wood serving board
Another easy – and practical – way to bring wooden accents into your home is with natural wood serving boards. Made from sustainably sourced olive wood, keep a few of these on display in your kitchen and use them when serving cheese, biscuits, charcuterie, cakes and more.
Shop Lisa Angel irregular shape olive wood serving board, £26
Furbish Studio Après All Day needlepoint pillow
Not only do we love the fun slogan on this cushion, the tactile needlepoint texture and typically alpine colourway just sing ski chalet vibes. Throw this on your sofa, your bed or wherever you need to be reminded that it’s always après time somewhere.
Shop Furbish Studio apres ski needlepoint pillow at Maison Flaneur, £69.20
