With the darker days of winter approaching, what better time to set the scene by adding extra layers of warmth and luxury in your home.
Different textures of fabric such as velvet, cashmere, and wool create the perfect setting for cozy yet stylish evenings and relaxing weekends. Tufted wool rugs are luxurious underfoot and a wonderful way to add warmth to your room, whilst you can never go wrong with a cashmere throw to wrap up in or drape across the sofa.

Let the details play their part with patterned curtains, blinds or cushions with subtle metallic touches that will reflect candlelight beautifully.
Changing these elements alone will transform your home into a sophisticated retreat from the dark evening. The layering of curtains made from heavy fabrics with blinds will also help to keep out the wintry drafts.
Aikyo fabric by Scion, at Style Library.
When you are deciding on colour, it really helps to create a mood board to see how everything will come together.
Collecting samples of wallpaper, paint, and fabrics will let you see how the textures and tonality of the colours will blend to create a harmonious scene. You’ll find, as things come together, it can create a completely new perspective on what you first thought would work in your space.
Lineate fabric by Harlequin at Style Library.
In the winter months, deep, rich, cozy colours combined with soothing neutrals will allow your changing colour palette to flow seamlessly with the rest of your interior. This season we have seen inky blues, charcoals, and russets contrasted with soft greys, pinks, and caramels.
In the living room, a darker shade painted on the walls and skirting boards makes the room look larger, and works as an exquisite backdrop to textured upholstery and brass accessories. These moodier shades also work particularly well in a dining room or bedroom when combined with jewel tones and golds.
