HERE IS FAYE’ S ADVICE FOR STYLING NEUTRAL HOMES THIS WINTER:
LAYER TEXTURES FOR WARMTH
As well as adding visual appeal, layering textures transforms a home into a warm, inviting sanctuary as temperatures dip.
Faye said:“ Mixing materials adds depth, comfort, and character, creating cosy spaces that feel both stylish and welcoming. Think soft velvets, woven rugs, natural materials and textile fabrics.”
INTERIORS & INTERIOR DESIGN
INTRODUCE TONAL CONTRAST
Introducing tonal contrasts elevates any space with subtle drama and balance.

Faye said:“ Pair light and dark shades within the same palette to create depth and visual interest. This harmonious play of tones brings sophistication, dimension, and timeless style to your home.”
FOCUS ON LIGHTING & SHADOW
According to Faye, playing with light and shadows adds mood, movement, and intrigue to a home.
She said:“ Natural sunlight, layered lighting, and thoughtful placement of objects create dynamic contrasts that shift throughout the day, enhancing the home’ s ambience while highlighting a room’ s textures, shapes, and character.”
ADD ACCENT COLOURS SPARINGLY
Want to add impact? A single coloured cushion in an accent shade can transform a space. But, Faye warns, use accent hues sparingly.
Faye said:“ Choose an accent colour and echo its tone in small details, like artwork, vases, or throws. This will create harmony and focus, adding personality without overwhelming the room’ s overall palette.
BALANCE SCALE AND PROPORTION

Want to make a space feel roomier this winter? A large mirror instantly enhances balance, scale, and proportion within a room.
Faye said:“ A mirror’ s reflective surface amplifies light and space, while its size anchors the design, creating harmony between furnishings and adding a striking focal point with effortless elegance.”
