• Neptune - We loved the fabric choices available from Neptune, especially the peachy herringbone wool and tweed fabrics, perfect for recovering a footstool. 

• Orac Decor - Use this 3d wall covering to add character and warmth to any wall. A simple addition to use in a draughty room or a modern house with no period features. It can also be easily painted, and many other shapes and finishes are available.

• Cork - A sustainable and durable flooring option that is soft and warm underfoot.

• Engineered Oak - Oak flooring company. Great to use over underfloor heating to keep a room warmer for longer.

• A warm colour palette with greens, rust, and apricots.

Lola Swift, curator of Home Interiors Club shares her recently updated living room, using new paint colours and furnishings. Sharing that “It doesn't have to be a complete overhaul to make a difference. The paint for the walls I used is Old Ochre by Fired Earth. The colour is a soft apricot, and all my paintings, furniture and ornaments sit perfectly with it. As the room is north-facing, it has a cold light, so the warm tones in the paint warm up the room."
