We feel compelled to cocoon and snuggle up in the warm once we get home sweet home, so how about giving your place a mini make-over for winter? You don't need to do anything drastic, but a few little changes can brighten up your interior and your mood. 

23. "I put strings of lights everywhere." Catherine, 46

24. "As soon as it starts to get cold, I change my curtains, bedclothes, armchair covers and cushion covers and use the brightest, most cheerful shades I own." Isobel, 49

25. "I get bored of my interiors really quickly. In winter I put coloured decorating stickers up everywhere and take them down again in the spring." Jenny, 20 

26. "I buy flowers from the local market once a week. I live in a studio flat and it completely changes the feel of the little place." Anna, 25
