For the IMAGE Interiors team the colder months means turning to cosy shades with touches of organic texture, providing the warmth that may be lacking outside. We also love the transformative power of switching up just a few key pieces in a room.
An eye-catching vase here or colourful print there can introduce colour or texture where it had been lacking. Our picks from the Homesense collection are all guaranteed to help refresh your space, ready for the new season.
