It's cold outside so it's time to get nice and snugly inside. Soft, warm sheepskins look great and are a lovely warm addition to a cosy, wintery interior.

As the weather changes, so do our interiors. It's time to start thinking about how to warm up our living spaces to create cosy living rooms for all purposes - whether your living room is a place for family, for entertaining guests or simply for curling up and watching tv, the key this season is to keep it cosy.

We're already more than halfway through October, believe it or not! Autumn is well and truly here and I think it might be time to start turning the heating on and 'cosifying' our homes in preparation for winter. Swap those thin summer duvets for warm winter ones and the light cotton curtains for lovely, warm wooly ones and pack your sofa with a gorgeous collection of textured throws. Does it feel warmer yet?

It's that time of year again when the cool linen and cotton throws aren't enough and we want something truly warm and cosy to adorn our sofas with. Fur throws are very popular at the moment, either as faux-fur luxury throws or real hide accessories, such as sheepskins or reindeer hides that can be draped over chairs or the backs of sofas for that cabin, rural look. I feel warmer already.

There's minimal and then there's too minimal. The key is to know when you are doing too little or too much when achieving the perfect minimal interior. We feel that the below images demonstrate a good balance of enough and not too much - there is something that the eye is drawn to, either a texture or a colour or an item... but the interior is still MINIMAL. On the other hand, there is enough interest that the interior does not appear cold or bland, either by being too white or lacking in warm lighting.
