Home Decor brings a sense of newness and change whether it’s rearranging what you already have or buying something new to add to your personalized touch. The winter, for those of that live where it does get cold during these months, can be a daunting time. You don’t want to go outside in the freezing cold so you want your space inside to be as cozy and comfortable as possible. But where do you start? I have a few great winter home decoration ideas to help get you in the mood to decorate your home during the winter months.
1. Cozy Blankets
Typically when you’ve just come from outside, if you’ve shoveled the driveway for the millionth time, built a snowman with your kids or had a long commute from the office, you want to snuggle up with something cozy. Think extremely soft blankets to warm you up which I usually leave near my couch or the fireplace in an extra large basket. Back by popular demand are blanket ladders which are easy to grab and display as a fun little piece near your couch as well.
2. Twinkle Lights
Don’t put away those lights just yet just because Christmas is over. I like to add some of the lights to small mason jars around our fireplace area or even in the room at night so we can watch them glow. The magic and joy it brings is priceless. Plus, it’s extremely inexpensive to make and you can even have your children help you design the outside of the mason jar to make it their own. It could be a fun family project!
3. Decorating Your Roof
When it comes to decorating your home, some of us might not think about our roof but there are many who enjoy putting decorations on the tip top of our home. One thing you’ll want to be mindful of is making sure that your roof is sturdy enough for not only your decor but also allowing you to put it up yourself. If you’ve been noticing some repairs are needed, it might be time to call in a professional. Peter’s Roofing is a reliable company to help you during the holiday season. This Warren County roofing repair is key to helping you repair your roof, to stay warm and keep your family safe. Once your roof is to your satisfaction, you’re able to add all the blow up Santa and reindeer, Christmas lights and more for the neighborhood to enjoy!
4. Snowflakes
Now I think we all think of paper snowflakes when we want to decorate our home but I want to encourage you to think outside the box a bit and think of snowflakes as a fun accent piece to decorate not just the inside but outside of your home as well. You can add a fun little spot on your porch with a few cute snowflakes made out of wood or even popsicle sticks your kids have made to put on the windows. These also give off a cozy feel when looking around your home ( the kids are always so proud of their own artwork that they’ve made). You can also purchase snowflake window decals and place them on your windows and doors! Window decals are perfect for those living in apartments, condos or townhouses. They can make your home look and feel festive from the inside and outside.
5. Color Tones
When you think of winter you think of cooler tones such as red, blues, whites, beiges, and greys. Use these colors around your home by adding pops of them with decorative pillows, blankets, rugs and more. I like to add a few red roses in rooms with a few twinkling candles and a cozy blanket to enjoy when they visit my home. I also add a few mugs of hot cocoa and peppermint sticks out for guests to enjoy to keep the cozy feel going in the kitchen or our dining area.
6. Relaxation Corner
I designed a small spot in our living room area for relaxing and reading when it’s super chilly outside. This area is perfect for relaxing after a long day. Having a small corner where there isn’t a lot of distraction is key. There I added a fluffy rug and an accent chair with an ottoman. It is right next to a window so the natural lighting helps when reading. When it is snowing, it is a perfect area to relax and watch the snow fall down.
There are several more ways to decorate your home for the winter but these six are easy to do right this very minute. By adding a few of these touches to your home, you’ll probably never want to leave the house which is perfectly fine. Your home is a place you want to enjoy both inside and outside so while we are waiting for Spring to come, cozy up with your blanket, grab a book to read and get excited for quality time with friends and family in the warmth of your home.
