Welcoming Winter into Your Home for Seasonal Joy
Welcoming winter into your home signals the end of autumn and the beginning of a new season. But it's nothing to shy away from. With winter comes the new year and the chance to begin anew. From lighting to soft seating, here are some tips to cozy up your home this year.
Make Some Fresh Changes
It's nice to make some changes now and then, and a new season is the perfect opportunity. All seasons bring their bounties, and you can decorate the home to reflect the mood of the changes. Whether it's hanging up seasonal artwork, changing up the bedroom with sheets from Bedding Co., or even scattering some cushions, there's a lot you can do to welcome the season. If you are unsure, check out Pinterest and interior design websites for inspiration.
Get Creative with Lighting
Who doesn't love a warming lighting theme? With the shorter days and longer nights, winter is the perfect time to get creative with your home illumination. Aside from the Christmas lights, there are tons of ideas you can try. A home can feel warmer and inviting with layered lighting. A single main light can be accented with lots of smaller lights that give off just enough for a room. You can complement this with LEDs around the home such as up the stairs and around frames.
Welcoming Winter with Natural Decor
Any interior designer will tell you that seasonal decor is enhanced when you bring the outside inside. For winter, this could mean decorating mirror frames with twigs. You can even preserve leaves and make artwork from them. Berries and pine cones can also be turned into coffee table centerpieces for home design on a budget. In the UK alone, millions of people get the winter blues. Creative inspiration from the season will put a smile on your face and warm your heart!
Tushy-Soft Seating for Max Comfort
If there's one thing we look forward to in winter, it's being cozy. And the cold outside gives us the perfect excuse to curl up like a bear for hibernation. There are tons of ways you can make your home as cozy as possible. One of the easiest is with soft seating. Now is the perfect time to dig out your knitted blankets and fleece throws. Go ahead and make your couch the warmest place in the house, and don't forget to scatter as many cushions as it takes to please that tush!
Soothing Seasonal Cooking
Is there anything like a warming stew on a cold winter's night? If you enjoy cooking, then you probably understand that seasonal food is the best way to use what we have at its best times. Winter vegetables like carrots, potatoes and cabbages can go a long way when it comes to feeding your family. A relatively cheap winter stew, simmered for hours and filling the home with remarkable aromas, can feed a couple for days and a family of six with no issues at all!
Summary
Some small changes, such as bedding that reflects the season, help when welcoming winter into the home. Natural decor from the outside, such as plants and twigs, provides that cozy winter feeling. However, there's nothing quite like winter seasonal cooking to warm the family.
