Designing and decorating your
home does not have to end once the Christmas season ends. You still have
something to celebrate and that is the winter season. So here are a few design
and decorating ideas for your home this winter.
In
the midst of the chilly winter air, the ideal home design and décor for this
season should emphasize two things: warmth and comfort. Color is still
essential since this adds life to the room. Typical home design favorites for
winter include winter berry wreaths, cut out or ornamental snowflakes, dried
twigs and branches, berries, pine cones of all sizes, poinsettias, fruit and
nut combinations, and candles. When designing, consider greens and reds or
white and silver. Christmas lights also add sparkle and add a magnificent
appearance to your home design whether indoors or outdoors.
When
creating a table centerpiece for your family dinner or when you have guests
over, buy amaryllis flowers and place them in tall bosphorus vases. This
creates a wonderful aura to your dining table and makes it colorful and lively
as well. You can also add pine cones of all shapes and sizes to your table
setting as well as candles that are placed on candle holders of varying heights
or candles placed on a cake stand.
To
make the room feel warm and cozy, replace your thin curtains with heavy
draperies. Make the room as comfortable as possible by adding a carpet or a
rug. Decorate your tables, consoles, and bookcases with items that suggest a
winter theme. This can be figurines, paintings, childhood pictures that have
snow, skiing or skating, and other memorabilia. You can make the room more
interesting by including wall art and wall décor that signifies the winter
season.
Since
we want to emphasize warmth and comfort, use dark tones and warm colors from
your rugs to your sofas and your bed covers. Add extra warmth to anyone
lounging around the living room by providing throws and large, fluffy pillows. And
to add more life into the room, have green plants around, be it a topiary, a
small potted plant or anything that grows. This will surely remind you of the
beauty of nature and the seasons.
So
for this winter season, there are plenty of reasons to feel the warmth and
comfort. You don’t need tons of hot chocolate or several warm cups of coffee.
All you need to do is to gather your family around, change your home design and
get into decorating, even in the winter season.
