“Add layers to your bed with fluffy, heavyweight throws in red, purple, silver or gold, and team up with faux fur cushions and a rug to create a warm retreat for you and a good book on wintery evenings.”

"By choosing different shades of a single colour and focusing on a variety of textures, you can easily create a sumptuous and cosy feel. Add delicate laser-cut design lampshades to bring another dimension to this dreamy scheme."
