As winter approaches, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in the home becomes a top priority for many. Here, property stylist Justine Wilson shares her expert tips on how to infuse warmth into living spaces with carefully curated accessories and without breaking the bank.
Warm lighting: Opt for warm, ambient lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere. Consider using table lamps with soft, diffused light or adding candles and lanterns for a cosy glow during the evenings.
Earthy tones: Incorporate earthy tones such as deep browns, rich rusts, and warm neutrals into your decor palette. These colours evoke a sense of warmth and comfort, perfect for the winter season.
Natural elements: Bring the outdoors in by incorporating natural elements like wood, stone, and dried botanicals into your decor. Wooden accents, such as rustic bowls or vases, add warmth and a touch of organic charm to any room.
Personal touches: Display cherished mementos, family photos, and personal artwork to add character and warmth to your home. These personal touches not only tell your story but also create a sense of intimacy and nostalgia.
Cosy throws and blankets: Invest in soft, cosy throws and blankets to keep you warm during chilly evenings. Drape them over furniture or fold them neatly for easy access and added comfort.
Warm flooring: Consider adding rugs or carpets to your floors to provide warmth and insulation. Opt for plush, thick rugs in natural fibres like wool or cotton to create an inviting atmosphere.
Scented candles and diffusers: Infuse your home with inviting scents like vanilla, cinnamon, or cedarwood using scented candles or essential oil diffusers. The warm, comforting aromas will enhance the warmth of your space.
Layered curtains: Install layered curtains or drapes to add an extra layer of insulation and warmth to your windows. Choose heavy fabrics like velvet or thermal-lined curtains to block out cold drafts and retain heat.
Cosy reading nooks: Create inviting reading nooks with plush armchairs, soft cushions, and warm throws. Add a side table with a warm beverage and a good book for the perfect winter retreat.
