Winters are truly magical as it brings along the joy of sipping a hot cup of tea, the ease of snuggling in your blanket, and the charm of basking in the afternoon sun. While it is the season of lounging around in the house wearing your comfy pyjamas and working from your bed, this season also brings along the lazy mood swings.
So, how about we prep-up our space? Some like it to be warm, some vibrant, and some look for the best of both worlds. This year, beat the winter gloominess by tweaking your home décor and relish the cold season thoughtfully with these simple yet effective ideas.
Embracing vibrant nooks
When the winters hit, your mood can take a backseat due to the sombre skies outside. This is where a bright shade can instantly make your space feel upbeat and energetic. So, for your warm and comforting nooks in your house, go for a dark green colour for your walls which come out as pleasing to the senses yet radiating vibrancy.
While nooks are great spaces to enjoy various activities, it can also be just a pretty customised corner area in your house.
Lastly, to make your nook cosier and warmer, layer your cabinet with a thick cloth and mini pinecone plants.
The reading shenanigans
The only thing better than curling up with a good book is having a perfect spot to cosy-up with it! This space has to feel like you and to make that happen, think about the things that make you feel happy and soothed, and bring those elements into your reading area.
Start with placing a soft chair and plush throw pillow – this is all you would require for seating arrangements. To ditch the bookshelves, instead, go for ancient trunks or an ottoman for stacking your novels. You can also re-create a coffee bar on a stool with a coffee machine and your favourite mug.
A fur rug in beige or cream colour will further accentuate the entire set-up. Place some scented candles, and you are ready to unwind with books amidst a peaceful abode.
Sleep, work, binge-watch, repeat!
With everyone working from home and now with the onset of the winter season, the bedroom has become quite a multi-purpose area. Your bedroom provides a private sanctuary where you unwind, relax, and get ready for the day ahead – basically live your daily moments.
Opt for a timeless monochrome palette of black and white which brings alive emotions of peace as well as warmth. You can use black as your luxe statement shade by incorporating it in your furniture like bed, armless chair, and a floor lamp.
Further, bring out your crisp white blankets and grey pillows as they are perfect for the cold season. The beauty of indoor planters lies in its ability to instantly brighten your house and add freshness and bring life to the place. Here you can place tall sea-green ceramic planters to add that inviting essence to your bedroom.
Needless to say, we all need a space that resonates with us and makes us feel comfortable as we go about the day. Don’t you already feel like trying these inspiring and distinct home décor themes?
