And spending most of your time at home is worth redecorating your space to cozy up your home for the cold months. With these decorating ideas for winter, you can easily style your home into a warm area to spend the wintertime cheerfully!
7 interior designing tips to re-decorate your house for a cozy winter:
1. Use warm lighting
Winter days are usually short, and the sun sets earlier than usual. To make up for this, incorporate warm lighting in your house. Create a cozy ambiance with warm lamps and bulbs with a soft glow. Switch to copper-colored lights to add depth to your existing color palette in your house. The decor for winter should warm up your space, and create a deeper ambiance. For this, you can either go for darker, richer colors or deeper versions of the colors you already have in the rooms that you're spicing up your winter season decor. You can also use decorative light strands, string lights, or fairy lights to add drama to your interiors.
2. Add rugs and carpets to your floors
Nothing beats waking up to a warm floor! Besides fuzzy slippers and socks, rugs and carpets are the best options to escape cold tiles. While they also keep your feet and toes warm, carpets and rugs also help insulate the place and act as a piece of decor for your home. If your carpet doesn't match your house's color scheme, you can also go for a rug in a deeper color for the winter. Rugs and carpets can be quite expensive, especially if they are made of sheepskin or wool, since they're one of the most sought-after winter-season decor items. However, you can thrift them at many markets in Gurgaon or Delhi.
3. Accessorize with fragrances
Winters almost rhyme perfectly with cozy scents. Candles, scented or not, are the perfect way to cozy up a space. Candles add warmth to the place and brightness while adding a warm fragrance that fills a room with a pleasant feeling. Go for solid winter scents such as vanilla, pumpkin spice, sandalwood, cinnamon, mahogany, and more. Having candles on dining tables, bookshelves, bathrooms, or even coffee tables can make your home feel inviting and add a cozier feel to your space.
4. Add more throw blankets, pillows
Throw blankets made of knits are ideal throughout winter. They are affordable, easily accessible, and compatible, and you can add them anywhere in the house. You can layer throws over chairs, benches, beds, and sofas to help you snuggle in. Choose throw blankets in dark and warm colors in seasonal patterns that are swappable and don't stain easily. This way, you can easily change them and wash them whenever necessary. You can add fluffy pillows around the house for a snugglier feel as cozy winter decor to make the home more welcoming and inviting.
5. Add a cozy reading nook
Cold weather seems the perfect time to pull out your favorite book and dive into it for hours. For this, create a cozy reading nook in your house with whatever resources you have at home. Pick a well-lit corner with abundant natural light or a reading lamp, and add an armchair. Layer your chair with a throw blanket, add your favorite book rack or a shelf, and voila! You have yourself a cozy reading nook. You can also add a table, a charging station if you read on a Kindle, a laptop, or a tablet, and a few decor items like plants and candles to add warmth to your nook. This station is not just perfect for winter but for all seasons, which is why it's one of our top 5 home decorating tips.
6. Update your bedding
While the summers in NCR call for crisp linen-cotton bedsheets, winters call for the opposite. Update your bedding for cozy layered blankets, soft pillows, quilts, and comforters that will allow you to stay warm all night. Fold your quilt and covering over the foot of your bed for the coldest nights to have that extra layer of warmth - this way, the heat gets trapped inside. To add more decor to your cozy winter home, you can add fleece blankets - they're both practical and stylish, and you can pick them out in multiple patterns to stay trendy.
7. Pick out more house plants
You can add houseplants that do not require much maintenance to bring more nature into your home. Adding plants instantly livens up any space. Plants like snake plants, petunia, aloe vera, and cactuses need minimal light and can grow throughout the year. These plants are perfect for the winters, and you will look perfect on your bookshelf, coffee table, or cabinets to recreate the feeling of being outdoors while also creating an added layer of a natural texture.
In conclusion, there are many affordable, easy ways to decorate your indoors with the items you have at your home. But dont forget, the summers are just around the corner. If you're thinking of calling one of the top interior decorators in Gurgaon today, simply give us a call.
