Five simple design tips to keep you cosy this winter
As the nights get longer and the days cooler our clothing transitions, so why not our interiors. We have five seasonal decorating tips that will show you the silver-lining to the colder weather and give you the inspiration to transform your house from cool to cosy this winter.
Bring the outside in with a touch of timber
Become inspired by nature and introduce a natural timber element to your home to create an instant sense of warmth. During winter we spend an increasing amount of time indoors, but you can bring a bright and inviting sense of the outside in by featuring timber accessories throughout your home.
Use cosy colouring
Seasonal colours are the perfect way to liven up your home. Romantic tones are trending this winter, featuring colours like Cobalt Blue, Sangria and Aurora Red. Home wares are an eye catching, inexpensive and interchangeable way to introduce a splash of colour into any room in your house, leaving you feeling brighter on cold days.
Make an impact with luxury fabric
Throws and rugs are not only practical they also add style, colour and warmth to your home. Wool, cashmere and chenille are the fabrics to feature in your home this season for a soft, tactile touch that the whole family and your guests won’t be able to resist.
Enjoy winter by candle light
Candles are an interior design staple that will give your home the essence of a glowing fire when the night is closing in. Choose winter aromas, like pine needle, cinnamon or fig, for a natural, cosy ambience.
Create your own cosy nook
On a cold winters morning there’s no better feeling then snuggling up in a cosy nook of your home with a coffee and book to read. Find a comfortable, occasional chair that you can place in a quiet space beside a sunny window that gives you a comfortable serenity and the opportunity to appreciate the little things life has to offer.
At McDonald Jones, we understand the need to wind down at the end of the day, so our home designs feature spaces that allow you to design your own tranquil haven in your new home.
