WARM UP ACT

Warm colours impart a sense of cosy pleasure even on the greyest of days. Piling up layers of wool rugs in winter was a device used by generations who lived without central heating. This gorgeous thing is a hand-woven Native American Navajo rug dating to the 1900s, which we certainly wouldn’t be prepared to layer rugs on top of.

Dazzler £3,112, wildeones.com
