When frost glistens in the winter sunshine and our countryside adorns a wonderful white blanket of soft snow with the smooth lines of snowdrifts, we’re often inspired to bring this winter wonderland into our homes.
Interior design expert from Betta Living, Jamie Dean explains why sales of white fitted furniture increase in the winter.

“Whatever the season, the great British public’s love affair with white furniture remained steadfast in 2012. In fact, 70% of all Betta Living’s kitchens sold in the UK this year were white or cream – that’s 3,200 white rooms!
"In addition to being a design classic that offers unrivalled flexibility in terms of accessorising, a major draw of white surfaces is their light reflecting properties -which in a kitchen can make a small room look larger. And through winter, with shorter days, the extra light created is of great value to many people, especially those who suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
“It's undeniable that white looks great. A crisp white finish is so chic and timeless, and the perfect blank canvas to which you can add touches of colour through splash backs, walls and tiles, appliances or work surfaces."
