As we daily peruse Instagram, Pinterest and various interior magazines we've seen one particular colour taking over the interior world this season - ruby red.

This sumptuous rich tone looks great in both modern sleek homes as well as more bohemian or eccentric spaces. This bold and opulent shade is perfect for creating a cosy and warm home this winter.

Opt for pieces that won't just add a splash of colour, but also add a cosy texture to your space, such as luxe velvets and faux furs. Don't be afraid to go for larger items to create a focal point with pieces like art, light fittings or perhaps even a sofa or armchair
