Look out for the latest faux fur styles which are soothingly tactile and a great way to keep warm.<br /><br />Use your usual duvet covers sets and as they name suggests, simply throw an additional layer over the top. Opt for extra large bed throws, one size bigger than your bed , for example if you have a standard 4' 6” double bed then use a king size bed throw. This will allow for plenty of overspill with the throw and help stop cool areas arising – this idea is also great for those who have to fight for their fair share of the duvet each night!<br /><br />Many bed throws are available in a wide range of sizes, so there's no need to scrimp on size to get the style, pattern and colour you want. Look out for coordinating scatter cushions in faux fur to give your bed a very warm and inviting look this winter. If your feet are always cold neatly fold a bedding blanket across the foot of your bed or resort to the humble hot water bottle to keep your feet toasty warm!<br /><br />Image: Decorology

With Scandinavian interiors being used to create warm and cosy home designers have turned to the use of chunky knits for <a href="http://www.terrysfabrics.co.uk/cat/bedding/type/bed-throws/">bed throws</a> and cushions, along with flocked fabrics and felts for upholstery and soft furnishings.<br /><br />Hand-crafted soft furnishings are a great way to make your money go further, look for curtain fabrics online to find the latest colours and patterns to make cheap cushion covers, patchwork throws and window dressings. Opt for rich, warm autumnal colours or keep with the Scandinavian theme and use white and pale blues to create a beautifully designed interior which will keep you warm throughout winter and see you right through to spring. You can even add lace to pillow slips or cushion covers to bring yet another texture into your home.<br /><br />The use of wood, metal and ceramics are also being widely seen this winter. Wooden blinds offer a natural warmth to rooms and coordinate wonderfully with wood flooring, as well as adding an additional layer at your windows to help keep the cold out and the heat in.<br /><br />Image: Design is Mine

Take advantage of the upcoming season and dress your table with centre pieces that celebrate the holiday.<br /><br />Natural dressings of leaves, pumpkins, holly, or fresh flowers of the season are examples of how to bring a festive appeal to a wonderful gathering. Placing items such as nature prints in picture frames and gold plated candlesticks will bring out the harmony of the dining experience when used in pairs. Try and refrain from using antiques or anything of remembrance of relatives long gone.<br /><br />You could also use curtain fabrics online with a festive print or colour to make place settings and table clothes. If you opt for plain fabrics you'll be able to use them time and time again simply by adding natural items appropriate for each celebration or festive occasion.<br /><br />With winter approaching your spirits may be dampened and you may experience the 'winter blues', rather than letting this happen introduce the colour purple into your home to stimulate chi flow. Simple soft furnishings such cheap rugs or purple <a href="http://www.terrysfabrics.co.uk/cat/bedding/type/bed-throws/">bed throws</a> can bring a sense of harmony to your home especially during a busy festive season.<br /><br />Image: Distinct.Style.Innovation
