Make it a white winter

You don't have to give up your favourite colour just because it's cold outside - use the right tones and textures to make white the perfect decorating choice all year long

To make a neutral scheme warmer, combine bright woodwork and off-white walls, or contrast pale carpet and curtains with dark wood details. Add texture whenever you can - think grainy woods, tufted rugs, plush throws and baskets - to make the room feel more snug and inviting.
