Since lockdown, our homes have increasingly become our sanctuary and with home working and cost of living making it more expensive to go out, our focus on home decor has skyrocketed and continues to for the foreseeable! So as we head into Santa season, here are some top tips for making your home a winter wonderland of cosyness…
Tactile textiles
Create a cosy winter vibe with the addition of huggable textiles and understated xmas accents. If you are keeping the heating to a minimum then soft textiles, in the form of blankets, rugs and pillows are an absolute must to give a warm visual feeling to the interior. And if you want to slowly introduce some xmas vibes without going fully in with a bauble laden tree, a well placed xmas themed cushion is the perfect subtle touch. If you need some cushion inspo, here are some rather lovely options…
That Warm Glow
When planning any kitchen renovation, lighting should never be an afterthought. Instead, carefully consider and plan to perfection, as it really can make or break any room in your house. Giving yourself options for how you want to light your space for different tasks and occasions allows you to change the feel of the room at any time and for winter, low level lighting is a big win for that super cosy feeling. Just add in some beautifully scented candlelight and an LED star and you won’t want to leave the house after dark!
Festive centrepiece
If your dining table sits in the centre of your space, its in the perfect place to create a focal point for your winter themed decor. If you are looking for an instagram picture perfect display then it’s definitely worth putting some thought into it.
For the run up to xmas day, it is best to keep the table decor simple, easy to maintain and robust enough for little hands to touch! But for the big day, you can go all out and create something really special that can be laid the night before. Candles are the absolute go to for any table decor and this gorgeous gold centrepiece ticks all the boxes as it can be left to stand alone with a few tea lights lit or you can go for the whole set and add in fairy lights, foliage and yet more decorative candles to really make the table glow!
Winter warmer drinks station
Not just for the kids! Create a cosy corner in your kitchen with some hot chocolate treats (and maybe a cheeky baileys too!) for those winter evenings in front of the fire. Words aren’t needed here… the picture says it all 🙂
