Stoke up the hibernating warmth with dramatic contrasts of black and gold – think coals and flame, or even butter on toast. We’re talking vivid winter sun shades infused with burnished metallics and charcoal embers to deliver smouldering richness to any nest. Take the look lighter or darker, depending on lighting and silhouettes.
