As the season changes, make your home as warm and comforting as possible says editor Lynn Stewart
Fed up with your bedroom? The easiest way to banish boredom is a quick bedding update. We love the slightly retro look of this pink and black dotty set – perfect for those who want to move away from block colour but aren’t quite ready for full-on pattern. A timeless look to brighten winter nights.

Sometimes you just need to add a little bit of fun to interiors, which is why we couldn’t resist this Golden Perching Parrot Mirror. It may not be a minimalist’s dream, but our decadent-looking, non-feathered friend makes us smile: the perfect pick-me-up for woeful walls.

We fell instantly in love with the classic shape of this elegant wingback dining chair. Guaranteed to glam up everything from brunch to celebratory suppers, the Elisa chair features gold legs, velvet seating and comes in a range of mouth-watering colours. Chic and contemporary with a nod to mid-century style, your dining-room will thank you.
The cubed design of this versatile bookcase offers a sleek storage solution. When filling the shelves, line your books up, some vertically and some horizontally, and place other items, such as plants, photos or ceramics, between them, which stops shelves looking too busy but still creates an eye-catching focal point, as well as keeping things tidy.

You don’t need green fingers to fill your home with lush leaves when you can find faux foliage that looks as good as this. This pretty string of pearls plant looks great on a kitchen shelf, trailing down a bookcase or brightening hallways. It comes in a rustic cement holder with a faux moss topping to help bring the outside in all year round.

Turn everything from morning coffee to cocktail evenings into super-glam affairs with an art deco-inspired drinks trolley. This marble and glass piece will up the style ante for any social occasion. It can be easily wheeled into position when needed and tucked stylishly away to store bottles and glasses when not in use. We’re smitten.
