Changing your home’s design style and decor items is a great way to infuse a new feeling into the space. As winter approaches, it’s a perfect time to make changes that help the home reflect the season and the coming of the new year. Here are some of the top winter design trends that you might want to incorporate into your space.
While all metallics are always popular around the holiday season, gold in particular is seeing a resurgence in home decor, especially in places you may not expect to see it. Floor coverings in gold shades, like rugs and tiles, help to highlight the natural light that comes in on winter days. With rich undertones, even a small splash of gold in a key place can make any room look richer and more vibrant. if you are afraid of going overboard with gold tones, try making them a compliment to a more neutral color that acts as the primary shade in the room.
Bold floral prints are back in a major way, with retro style couches, curtains and rugs that pay homage to the sixties and seventies appearing in decor stores and interior design magazines. Don’t be afraid of oversized floral prints in your living room or bedroom. While they may seem feminine at first, florals that incorporate dark colors can have a more masculine feeling suitable for use in any room of the home. If you prefer a more subtle look or aren’t quite sure yet if floral prints are for you, try incorporating floral patterns into decor accents, like curtains or pillows, as an accent to your main color scheme.
The simple, clean lines of Scandinavian design are perfect for small spaces, like a kitchen nook, home office or foyer. Even if your home is done in a more ornate style, a room done with Danish minimalism can be like a breath of fresh air. With neutral colors and solid craftsmanship, these pieces can easily become family heirlooms that any of your children or grandchildren can easily incorporate into their homes down the line. Adding soft textiles, like blankets and pillows, to one of these simple pieces can help evoke a cozy feeling.
Textiles that look handmade can add a touch of global flair to your design style. From crochet wall hangings to woven baskets and small pieces of artwork inspired by other cultures, these pieces are whimsical and interesting enough to spark questions and conversation with any visitors to your home.
