|---|---|
| Colour | Warm neutrals and earthy tones |
| Seating | Deep, soft and generous |
| Texture | Knits, boucle, wool and wood |
| Light | Several low lamps, not one ceiling light |

Tip: Keep throws, curtains and plants a safe distance from fireplaces and candles, use a fireguard, secure rug edges with grippers to prevent trips, and never leave candles burning unattended.
