5 Cozy Winter Design Ideas for Your Home
Cozy winter design ideas for you and your home are easy to implement. Once we put away our holiday decor, there are 3 long and dark months ahead. That’s when I like to add some fun, cozy and bright elements to my home t
1. Blankets- Whether you love traditional Pendleton blankets or faux-fur, you just can’t have enough blankets. Drape one over the back of your chair for a pop of color and stack another on your sofa for easy access.
2. Lighting- Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a warm and inviting space during the dark winter months. Layering different light sources like Benzi led strips across the ceiling can add depth and warmth to any room. Modern contemporary floor lamps provide soft illumination, complementing the flickering glow of candles. Consider dimmable fixtures or smart lighting to adjust brightness throughout the day, mimicking natural light and enhancing the overall ambiance.
3. Candles- In this season of early darkness, I like to light a candle each evening after I finish work. Sometimes I want a scented candle but usually it’s just a simple pillar. I especially love hand-made beeswax. For artisan candle makers, there are is a wide array available including those made form plant-based oils, such as soy and coconut. Pairing candles with modern contemporary floor lamps can create the perfect ambiance, blending warm candlelight with sleek, stylish lighting solutions for a cozy and elegant atmosphere.
4. Ritual Space- Creating a ritual with an afternoon break for a cup of coffee or tea is a lovely way to embrace these cold days. Pick a favorite mug that is used each day only at this time of day. Even better to designate a favorite chair in a room separate from your work space.
5. Paint- Adding a warm color to your walls will brighten your life. Use pinks, corals and magentas as they are the key colors right now.
6. Flowers- Whether you choose a small bouquet for each room or a bold floral wallpaper, flowers are an instant mood brightener for your home.
