    Cosying up a light and minimalist room without compromising the clutter-free feel can be a challenge when winter rolls around.

Before you know it, you’ll have created a snug retreat and an inviting space for entertaining family and friends.

    This is a Marie Claire Advertorial Cosying up a light and minimalist room without compromising the clutter-free feel can be a challenge when winter rolls around. But with carefully chosen accessories you can introduce colour and texture to warm up a modern, cool interior. Before you know it, you'll have created a snug retreat and an inviting space for entertaining family and friends.

    The Winter's Tale collection from Sainsbury's is a brilliant place to start. It's packed with accessories that will give your home a designer feel at high street prices - think sumptuous faux fur, gorgeous glassware, a sophisticated palette of blue, white and silver tones and an Aladdin's cave of textures.

    Turn a minimalist sofa into a cosy focal point by piling on cushions and throws, varying between silks, faux fur, knits and woven cottons. Accessorise with textured naturals – take your pick from rustic baskets, wicker lampshades, bamboo tables and crisp white ceramic pots. Use displays of plants to add sculptural detail and create a variety of heights within your room.

    Funky glassware will inject a cool, sophisticated edge and reflect soft, low lighting from lamps and super-sized candles. Now all you need is a good book to hunker down with for cosy nights in – and good company to share your space when you're in the mood for conviviality.

    The new Winter's Tale homewares collection is available at selected Sainsbury's stores from 25th October. To find your nearest store and discover the other collections, visit sainsburyshome.co.uk.
