Look out for the latest faux fur styles which are soothingly tactile and a great way to keep warm.<br /><br />Use your usual duvet covers sets and as they name suggests, simply throw an additional layer over the top. Opt for extra large bed throws, one size bigger than your bed , for example if you have a standard 4' 6” double bed then use a king size bed throw. This will allow for plenty of overspill with the throw and help stop cool areas arising – this idea is also great for those who have to fight for their fair share of the duvet each night!<br /><br />Many bed throws are available in a wide range of sizes, so there's no need to scrimp on size to get the style, pattern and colour you want. Look out for coordinating scatter cushions in faux fur to give your bed a very warm and inviting look this winter. If your feet are always cold neatly fold a bedding blanket across the foot of your bed or resort to the humble hot water bottle to keep your feet toasty warm!<br /><br />Image: Decorology

A Brief Look at Feng Shui Interior Design 3: In the Bedroom

Use <a href="http://www.terrysfabrics.co.uk/cat/bedding/printed-duvet-covers/">double duvet covers</a> in white to compliment the wooden bed frame. A creamy coloured shag pile rug placed on the floor (where else!) two thirds of the way down from the top of the bed to give a modern look.<br /><br />Remember to keep your bedroom clutter free and don't go hiding things under the bed as you'll interfere and block the positive energy flow in your bedroom.<br />Solid wood furniture and shelves will keep a positive balanced presence in the room. Never place shelves directly over a bed. But this bed's canopy will be okay as there is nothing to fall onto you while you sleep.<br /><br />If you want to have a clock, make sure that it is small and battery operated. Keep closet/wardrobe doors and dresser drawers free from clutter to prevent opening and make sure your traffic pattern is open and flowing.<br /><br />Sounds and scents can be used but very minimal. Light sounding wind chimes of tin or crystal will produce a twinkling sound and the mild scents of vanilla, rose or lavender will bring pleasant dreams.<br /><br />Image: Angela Heart
