During these winter months, you might be spending more time in your bedroom than usual, cozying up in bed with a good book or your favorite TV show. If you're anything like us at Livingetc.com this will probably be inspiring you to think about which interior design trends you could start incorporating for a little refresh. A trend that lots of people dream about but sometimes feel apprehensive to try is introducing pattern into a room.

January can feel like the longest, darkest part of the winter, so you'd be forgiven for not prioritizing your backyard at the moment. Come spring and summer, though, you might regret not getting green-fingered earlier in the year when you realize you missed out on the perfect time to sow seeds that flourish in those sunnier months. If you're dreaming of serving home-grown salads to friends over long outdoor lunches this summer, you need to think about getting those seeds planted soon.
