Winter is a time to snuggle up, keep warm and cozy and enjoy the comforts of home.  And you don't have to totally redecorate your home to make it a haven.

• Cozy up a tiled floor with thick warm coloured rugs that can be rolled up and stored    away for summer. Choose reds and terracottas, or chocolate browns and neutrals
• Bring out the warm furry throws and pack away those summer cotton throws
• Have some seasonal cushions. Choose reds and oranges to put on a neutral sofa
• If you have a cold south facing room that never sees the sun, paint it a warm colour such as Porter's Butter and Sugar or if you like bold colours, try Dulux's Carmen Miranda for the whole room or for a feature wall with Dulux's Savannah on the other three walls
• Add some brightly coloured original art
• Use warm coloured tablecloths and contrasting coloured napkins to brighten up a winter dinner party
• Bring camellias indoors and float in glass bowls and grow hyacinths or other bulbs to bring the outdoors inside
• Candles with warm vanilla scents give the feeling of warmth
• Use soft lighting from lamps rather than having the main room lights on
