At this point of the year, you want your home to be a snug retreat where you can relax and hide away from the cold.
So why not give your style a bit of a seasonal shake-up and splurge on some new bit for your home that will help expel that winter blues and create a comfy haven to rest up.

Borrow colours from natures palette
The warmth of the autumn colour pallet can provide a great remedy to chill in the air. Rich reds and tawny browns are the stars of the show and using these hues with and in your accessories will give the same effect in a room.
Light it up
Lighting is always a must, but even more so in the seemingly perpetual darkness of the wintertime. Introduce more table lamps which can be used to illuminate and focal points you want to highlight to make a room more inviting and of more interest to guests. Even get a little playful with your lights add at this time of year, led lighting is very cheap and can turn a surface that would normally be ignored into a feature of the room.
