Winter brights are uplifting and a breeze to style, according to interior expert Sam Wylie-Harris. If you are 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.
This approach is especially rewarding if you are patting yourself on the back for getting through the gloomiest month of the year and looking forward to longer, lighter days. The feel-good vibes that come with colourful accents can transform any room, making it a more joyful and inviting environment.
