If you’re feeling creative and in the right frame of mind to visualise your space as a canvas, introducing winter brights is the easiest way to radiate some happiness – and a sense of wellbeing.
Especially if you’re patting yourself on the back for getting through the gloomiest month of the year, and looking forward to longer, lighter days and the feel-good vibes which come with colourful accents.
Here’s what’s caught our eye and is putting us in a joyous mood…
1. Sophie Robinson Dining Chairs in Amaranth Wiggle Dot Fabric, £169 each; Sophie Robinson 8 Light Adjustable Chandelier, £279, Dunelm
Dubbed the ‘Queen of Colour,’ when it comes to interior designer Sophie Robinson’s furnishings, we’re thinking the bolder the better. Perfectly placed to put the wow factor into your dining area, these vivid dining chairs and jewel of a chandelier with its sapphire droplets are bang-up-to-date.
2. Bright Green Glass Table Lamp, £95, Click Style

When it comes to trimmings and texture, these playful pom poms have just the right measure of whimsy – and will breathe new life into a pair of curtains (use as tiebacks); or hang from an ornate handle on a pre-loved chest.

A prize pick for updating a kitchen corner or hallway, this versatile velvet shade comes with reversible gimble; enabling it to be hung from the ceiling or switched to a table lamp shade.

A funky rug makes for an easy update – and this striking floral print imbibes thoughts of a tropical hideaway and sunny outlook.
6. Orla Kiely Linear Stem Tomato Roman Blind, from £47.92, English Blinds
Orla Kiely’s iconic stem print makes any homeware the perfect focal point… and we particularly love this tomato red leaf motif for window dressing, and co-ordinating furnishings in a similar rich shade.

Habitat have teamed up with British design brand Scion – known for their bold motifs and Scandi-style influence – to create a curated collection of colourful cushions, tableware and furnishings.
