3 SECRETS TO THIS SCHEME

SET THE TONE

Mulled wine is a gorgeously moody shade with its purple-red undertones perfect for creating a cocooning feel. Use it as your hero colour and contrast with pops of hot pink, burnt orange and dusky rose for balance. Dark blue accents will add elegance.

PLAY WITH PATTERN

Look for bold floral designs with a base tone that matches your hero shade and use them to add interest and depth. Pick one print or pattern clash – stripes work brilliantly in any scheme.

LAYER UP ON TEXTURE

A luxe feel is key to making this scheme feel warm and cosy rather than dark and cold. Think velvet, corduroy and woven finishes and look out for embroidery, appliqué and fringing.
