Whether it’s the pre-Easter time or chilly days of the ho-ho-ho season, refreshing your home with some décor is always a good idea. With a handmade wreath, decorative world map, and some other ‘ingredients’ that we have listed for you exclusively, you’re sure to create a welcoming and cozy atmosphere that has it all: sunny kisses of the summer, charm of winter days, freshness of spring, or spooky autumn time.
Cozy Textiles Are a Must-Have
When it comes to setting the right mood for every season, textiles rock. As winter kicks in, homeowners are welcome to switch to warmer and heavier fabrics, such as thick knit, wool, and faux fur throws. Say goodbye to the lightweight linen and replace it with chenille or velvet covers for pillows. We strongly recommend using plush rugs that will add a touch of an absolutely comfortable home to any setting.
Add New Scents Every Season
One of the most effective tools to change the ambiance in a room instantly is the right scent. Let’s face it, when it comes to the summertime, floral and citrus fragrances are the best. For the winter wonderland, we recommend choosing warm scents like pine, vanilla, clove, or cinnamon. Browse scented diffusers and candles online or at the local store. They are excellent helpers when you need to fill your room with this or that aroma typical to the season.
Let Mother Nature Do the Job
As the snow falls, do not hesitate to bring in some natural seasonal elements. They’ll transform your place and help you embrace the beauty of the white kingdom. As for the summer flowers, they can be easily replaced with eucalyptus, holly, pine branches, or/and various dried arrangements. For a more festive and organic look, it’s recommended to use winter wreaths, wooden accents, pinecones, etc.
Do the Outdoor Makeover
Just like the rooms in your house or apartment, your outdoor space needs some update too. For instance, you can purchase weather-resistant winter patio cushions as an alternative to summer items. Add some lanterns, string lights, and evergreen garlands to the balcony or porch. A cute seasonal Welcome! mat in tandem with a decorative wreath can turn your doorstep into a festive bag of joy.
Speaking of Festive Touches…
Nothing can become better décor than winter figurines, decorative stockings, holiday centerpieces, and other elements that we all are getting out of our closets as the jingle bells season approaches. First, we recommend keeping things minimal and step by step bring more and more items as the season joy kicks in more intensely. This will enable you to maintain a well-balanced look that is not messy.
So, what does it mean when we switch our home décor from summer to winter time? From everything discussed above, you can conclude that the process is about embracing the current season’s beauty and adding a pinch of comfort and warmth to where you live. And the best part is that you can make just a couple of simple changes, like improving your lighting, adding cozy textures, and switching some colors. It is up to you to decide if you want a 100% seasonal transformation or just a few subtle details added here and there. As a result, you’ll have a home that feels like…home!
