Wrap up your family in warmth
Winter encourages intimacy and togetherness, and what better way to bring your family closer than to provide a warm, cosy environment for everyone to share. Your choice of building materials, textures and finishes for your home can help to create a welcome retreat during the colder months.
Fireplaces have made a strong comeback as the design centerpiece of a home for their warmth in winter and good looks all year round. This winter, consider placing your lounge and armchairs closer to the fireplace for even greater intimacy and warmth.
As we spend more time indoors in the winter months, let it be a place you enjoy. Simple rituals can be established within families such as gathering around a toasty fire sipping hot chocolate, telling stories or playing boardgames. Perhaps you could entertain with a Christmas in July theme and all the festive trimmings.
In this issue we identify many ways to add beauty and warmth to your home with natural timbers, gorgeous pendant lights and under-floor heating. We profile the latest in energy efficient gas fireplaces and provide tips for adding colour to your winter garden.
We also feature the latest products for kitchens and bathrooms and explain the many ways Home Option Gallery can assist you to make your dream home a reality.
So just like a piece of warm apple pie, we hope you enjoy this issue of Gallery bite by desirable bite!
