Shorter days mean more hours spent at home so why not make it magical and glamorous.

Lighting and oodles of it is the easiest way to create a sultrey hang out - lots of low level lighting, coupled with fairy lights and candles, shout park avenue fabulousness like nothing else I know. Texture and whoomping up high voltage contrasts of skiny, smooth and slubby surfaces also ups the style ratings.

If you want a space that tantalises, seduces and thrills then layer different textures together. Imagine slubby throws juxtaposed with metallic cushions sitting alongside a softly woven rug. Heaven!
