Winterize Your Home Decor

It’s January. The Holidays are over. We are all trying to start a fresh new year. But….does putting up the Christmas decorations make you a little sad? It’s all so pretty and magical and then you take it all down and you home suddenly feels empty. Even though our house is like this 11 months out of the year, once you pack it full of sparkly decorations, it tends to be a feel a bit bare once they are all packed away. It’s also still a little too early to decorate for Easter or even Valentine’s day.

Today, I am going to show you how to “Winterize Your Home”. Now, I am not talking about wrapping pipes and sealing windows. I actually mean how to decorate for this cold season we are in. Let’s be honest, when the weather gets cold, we don’t want to leave the house much. See below for steps to help you decorate for winter that will make you never want to leave the house.

There is seriously nothing better than curling up on a cold winter day with a cozy blanket and Netflix….Or if you are like me and have small children – Disney Plus.

STEP 2: Add Rich Textures

Heavy Fabrics and textures are perfect for winter. They just seem cozier and warmer. Throw in some Velvet Pillows or a Flannel Bedspread to freshen up your space. Or, switch out some stools or benches with faux fur ones. It will feel new and fresh, but still winter-y and cozy.

STEP 3: Candles

Stock up on candles. The days are shorter during the winter months and candlelight just brings a romance to dinners or movie night. While they may not provide a ton of actual warmth, the smells you choose can really set a mood, and just gives the illusion of warmth. Break out those candles you got as Christmas gifts or see below for some other great ones that I love.

STEP 4: Fireplace Accessories

Now for something that will actually keep you warm…build a fire! Make sure you are stocked up on fireplace accessories. See below for some beautiful, yet functional things that can not only decorate your home and be pretty (who doesn’t love to look at pretty things), but can actually come in handy when the mood for a fire strikes you.

Winter calls for ALL the hot drinks. Whether you are drinking a latte, hot chocolate or hot tea, who doesn’t love a pretty mug to drink it out of. Make sure to stock up for all the hot drinks you plan to partake in during these cold days.

STEP 6: Indoor Plants

Winter has us staying indoors more often, but some of us are really craving the outdoors. Sometimes, you just need some fresh air. Make sure to fill you home with lots of indoor plants that can thrive with low light. They will be sure to liven up the space and get us through until spring. See below for some of my favorite:

Peace Lily – Lulu & Georgia ($82)
VERY low maintenance and actually needs to dry out, so forgetting to water is no big deal.
