The decorations have come down, the nights are still dark and your resolutions may be already frayed at the edges.

 

However, while January is often regarded as one of the most depressing months of the year, it needn’t be. One great way to beat the New Year blues is by updating your interiors – and you don’t need to spend a fortune.

 

Whether you want to splash out on a new sofa or just want to invest in some simple soft furnishings, there is currently a fabulous section of colour popping pieces and these are some of our favourites.
