As we head towards winter in the UK, it felt fitting that I should write about the subject of heating and its role in interior design.

Thanks to Julia for sending in photos of her in-progress living room (above). This is a 1905, Edwardian home and Julia wants to create a 'cosy, timeless room that celebrates craftsmanship, light and everyday comfort'. She has been restoring it with an Arts and Crafts influence (as you can see in the beautiful ceiling rose).
