We
may not particularly like the cold temperatures, shoveling snow, and bundling
up (okay, so maybe “hate” is a better word) – but you have to admit, wintertime
can be so beautiful. If you’re a fan of cozying up from November to April, here
are some design ideas for your home to make the most of the season.
DIY Sweater Pillows. They may sound silly, but in the
right room, they’re perfect. Check out these
chic, preppy pillows from HGTV. All you need are unused sweaters or flannel
shirts, an old pillow, and a needle and thread. Super easy.
Metallic Paint. Metallic is one of this year’s most
popular color schemes, and happens to replicate ice quite well. Some are even
taking it to the extreme with metallic accent walls. If that’s a little too
bold for your taste, we’d recommend picking up metallic silver curtains,
perhaps metallic lampshades or even metallic wall decorations. The hints silver
will remind you of the season while still remaining appropriate for all
seasons.
Fluffy Stuff. Who doesn’t love a fluffy accent pillow
or cozy throw blanket? Choose colors like light grey, white, and light blue to
bring the colors of winter inside. We wouldn’t blame you if you felt obligated
to sit by the fire with some hot chocolate.
Crystal. Need we say more? Grab some faux crystal
candle sticks or shelf accents and watch them reflect the sunlight, just like
those beautiful icicles do. Pair them with white, silver, or blue candles and
you’re good to go.
Distressed Furniture. If you’re a fan of thrift
stores and antique stores, this will be a fun project for you. Grab a coffee
table, side table, or even a smaller dresser and turn it into a distressed
piece that will bring your entire winter-inspired room together. Keep it light
blue or off white, and it will remind you of that first beautiful dusting of
snow.
