Winter Decoration

Brrrrrrrrrr, winter's here and it's time for some steaming hot soup. As you are finishing off the warm soup, you realize that you are still feeling cold, a lot colder than you would like to feel. Taking a closer look about your home, you realize your home decor needs some renovation for the winter, or else you might just freeze to death! Decking up your home for winter will give it a very warm and welcoming feel. Also, following seasonal decor is a good way to keep your house from looking outdated. Seasonal decor during the winter can be a tricky one because it's not just about looks, but also functionality. How do you give your home that warm and inviting touch and yet make sure it sure it looks aesthetically pleasing during winters? Here are some ideas for changing a few items in your room during winter, and transforming the look of your home.

Use Sweater Material
Try saving old wool sweaters. They can come in handy for craft projects. The material of the sweater gives your room a handsome feel and makes it more warm and comforting. Use sweater material for stitching throw pillow covers or blankets, or dining room chair cushions.

Fire-Like Colors For Winter
Painting your home every season might not really be practical.Instead, accessorize your home with those colors you wanted to paint your home with. Accentuate the room with bright orange, flaming red or burgundy colors, mainly the shades of fire. Use these colors on accessories.

Fabrics For Winter
Fabrics make a room feel richer and warmer.Velvet drapes and faux fur on your sofa not only gives your room a luxurious feel, but also helps in keeping you warm and comfortable during harsh winters.

Artwork For Winter
Remove cheerful prints and floral paintings. These tend to make your room seem too bright for winter. Instead, you can use a few black-and-white photographs of nature. This fits the winter decor very well.

Decoration For Winter
If it is not the festive season, then don't use all of your holiday decorations. You better store away any items that are used for Christmas; this includes ornaments and the trees. However, you can use those neutral winter decorations, such as silver candlesticks or a berry wreath. Add wooden lampshades and bright antique pieces in the drawing room. Handmade paintings and other intricate pieces of art can be used to advantage. If you are fond of pottery, then, this is the time to show-off your skills.

Bonfire In Winter
You may create a bonfire in a corner. The colors of fire look simply mind-blowing and also help boost moods for romance. Of course, it goes without saying that it keeps you warm too. Also, place the furniture in your room, use the fireplace as the focal point and ensure that all pieces of furniture are kept close to each other. This will make the room look really cozy.

Remember, earthy accessories and colors are the best for winter decor. They you're your room a much wanted warm and cozy ambience.
