The colours of the season have arrived. This autumn/winter, we're embracing richer, more saturated shades - think plum, teal, deep red, burgundy and berry tones - to bring warmth and depth to the bedroom.

"You don't have to go all in, though: introduce deeper tones through pillowcases, then layer in throws and cushions in different prints and textures alongside your lighter summer bedding."

Start with your bedding as the foundation, then build up with two or three throws in different sizes, textures and complementary colours. Use your headboard or wall colour as a guide for the tones you pull through the rest of the bed.

Our formula: two largest cushions at the back in a maximalist print, two smaller cushions in front for a complementary colour, and one bolster in the centre to bring it all together.

"One of our favourite winter bedding tricks is to size up your duvet. A king-size duvet on a double bed or a super king on a king gives you that extra drape and means there's much less chance of fighting over the covers in the middle of the night."

As the evenings draw in, let your bedroom lighting do some of the cosying up - think pleated lampshades, softly glowing bedside lamps and cosy brass wall lights.

"Then comes the finishing touch: candlelight and scent. Style your candles alongside your favourite books, ceramics and little treasures, and light a familiar, comforting scent as part of your evening ritual."
