The freezing temperature of the winter season makes the prospect of stepping foot outside the home uninviting. This is why it is important to decorate the home in such a way that it provides the lasting warmth and comfort lacking in the snowy streets.
Luckily, a vast number of ideas exist for winter decoration, and we hope some of the ones mentioned here inspire you.
1. An elegant wreath hanging on the front door
We imagine that the most pleasant thing as you rush home from a blizzard would be the sight of your front door. It represents every comfort within that is open to you once you go through it.
You can add even more allure to your front door by hanging a beautiful wreath from a decorations store. Alternatively, you can make one for yourself following DIY guides on the internet.
2. Light up your space with beautiful light pieces
Floor lamps, table-top lamps, and decorative ceiling or wall lighting all do well in providing lighting to lift off the dreary darkness that descends on the house. As you have fewer daylight hours during winter, this lighting also provides utility aside from its aesthetic purpose.
3. Jazz up your windows and sliding doors
Add some excitement to your windows using quality and visually appealing treatments.
There are also window coverings for sliding doors, and they come in many variants, such as vertical cellular shades, sheer vertical shades, sliding shutter panels, vertical blinds, drapes and curtains, and sliding panels.
The world looks more exciting when you are viewing it through beautifully draped windows and doors!
4. Decorate your mantel
It goes without saying that the fireplace becomes the focal point of the home during winter, making it a good time to add a decorative touch to your mantel. Potted plants, figurines, candles, and even a mirror are all bright ideas for enhancing the look of your fireplace.
5. Play with colours
Escape the dourness of the atmosphere by making your home pop with lively colours.
A colourful photo or decoration hanging on the wall, big, bright and bold-patterned throw pillows, a colourful blanket thrown casually over your chaise are a few ideas for adding extra brightness and liveliness to your home.
6. Decorate with greenery
Nature is life. Enliven your room by incorporating plants in your winter decor. You can also add some cheer to your ordinary-looking staircase by lining the handrail or wrapping the balustrade with creeping plants.
Decorate your accent shelf with natural flowers, and sculptural plants like the fiddle-leaf fig.
7. Add softness and warmth with rugs
Rugs provide a comfortable softness to your steps. Throw some in high-traffic areas within your home. Sheepskin rugs are perfect for your bedside or front of your favourite chair in the living room, for sinking in and rubbing numb feet.
Aside from the comfort they provide, rugs also a great way to accentuate your living space. A beautiful tug thrown in the middle of the seating area sets it apart, providing greater visual appeal.
