January is the perfect time to refresh your home's interiors with a wow-factor design piece. Whether it's a fancy coffee table, eye-catching artwork or a a show-stopping sofa, good design can transform a space - without a ladder, colour chart or paintbrush in sight.

British auction house Christie's South Kensington has teamed up with luxury interior designer Nicky Dobree to create a cosy ski chalet-style space ahead of the house's interior sale on January 11.

Dobree, perhaps best known for designing luxury ski chalets and once converting a 300-year-old alpine farmhouse described by Kevin McCloud as the "ultimate James Bond pad", has combined furniture, artwork and ski posters for sale in the upcoming monthly auction - as well as her own pieces - in the stunning gallery space.

Designed by Dobree: the space showcases artwork by Paul Flanning, which has an estimated sale price of between £1,000 and £2,000
