You don’t have to allow the cold weather and gloomy clouds to get the better of you. Cozy up in style this winter with these modest additions to your living area.

COLOR PALETTE

Consider your color scheme first and foremost. As a rule, it’s best to go with bright, colorful hues in the spring/summer and switch to muted or richer shades for the winter. Fall is my favorite season because of the rich, warm colors, and winter is my favorite season because of the soft, muted tones. To celebrate Christmas, I used blush pink and grey to decorate my home, but I’ve kept the color scheme going as I transition into the new year.

USE TEXTURE TO ADD WARMTH AND COZINESS.

Throw cushions and blankets are a must-have right now! Faux fur, velvet, chenille, and other textures you might not normally choose aren’t as scary as they seem.

Use CANDLES AND FAIRY LIGHTS TO ENHANCE THE TEMPERATURE

If you’re a candle lover, now is the time to get into the spirit of things truly. You’ll also awaken your senses if you choose your perfume carefully! Using fairy lights is another fantastic method to achieve this soft lighting effect, and it’s the perfect way to light up a room with these beautiful flowers.

INSERT YOURSELF INTO THE NATURE YOU LOVE

Bring some greenery into your living room this winter, whether in the form of flowers, plants, or tree cuttings. In addition to grounding your area, the addition of greenery creates a pleasing visual contrast.

REDUCE THE EXPECTATIONS AND KEEP IT SIMPLE

Most of us feel a strong impulse to declutter, organize, and clean our homes at the beginning of a new year. So why not similarly decorate your home? Stick to a few key pieces to create beautiful vignettes with an uncluttered appearance. This appearance can also be achieved by using a simple color palette.
