With winter season approaching, it is time to switch the ‘feel’ of your home in order to welcome it with your unique style


Winters take away all colours from nature. There is less sunlight, more grey sky, less leaves on tress and even lesser flowers. Outside becomes dreary, dull and unexciting. So winter is all about adding warmth and colours to your decor so that your home can still be spirited, stimulating inside. Don’t let the coolness intimidate you, rather pass on a new look to your home this winter season and the best way to do that is to change the decor.

So winterise your home with some cozy decorating ideas and electrifying decor tips that will help you add charisma into your home without digging too much on your pennies.

Go colourful


The mantra for winter is to ‘go colourful’. The warm side of the colour wheel is your ideal choice. Colours like orange, yellow, red and gold give an instant feeling of warmth and coziness. These colours can be added to soft furnishings, walls, ceiling, rugs, and accessories. An instant remedy to get warmth is to paint your walls in warm colours or just add wallpaper. Since walls occupy the maximum sq. ft. area, in any room; the effect of any colour applied is immediate.

Give accessory fix


Keeping the furniture or bulky items fixed, the feel of the whole room can be changed by clever change in w accessories. It is advisable to invest in 2-3 sets of accessories to enable you to change the overall theme easily. Accessories add a personal touch that give your house its character and turn it into a home. Accessories also allow us with the opportunity to have fun with new ideas and creativity and to add variety. Some home accessories that you can put to use to maximise the beauty of your nest are:

Candles and candle holders: Adding a few candles along with some natural elements to your tables will be a perfect accent to you holiday gatherings.

Wall interior, décor and mirrors: Change the art work displayed with deep warm colours to add zing to your room.

Show pieces, vases, pots and photo frames: These knick knacks can add a zing to your home by complementing your main décor.

Planters and flowers: Greenery in any form is always an ‘eye tonic’. It adds freshness and also keeps the energy level balanced in the house. Fresh cut flowers or potted plants add a hint of spring time to a room and lift the spirits. You can also add artificial flowers but they tend to get dirty soon and are not easily cleanable.

Fragrance: You can add fragrance with scented candles, fresh flowers, aroma oil burners or dispensers. Every fragrance has its effect on the mood of an individual. It is advisable to layer up the fragrance of your home by choosing the candles, oil burners and room fresheners of the same fragrance and using them together. Cinnamon and lemon grass both are wonderful aromas to be used in winters.

Fireplace: It is a great idea to sit near a real fireplace in a cozy chair and read a book through a weary winter evening. But building an original fireplace is a task, there are a lot of companies that offer ready-to-use fireplace that are low on smoke emission as well.


Ultimately it is your home and the decor should reflect the ambience, style and mood that you want to create for each room. The key is to avoid compromising functionality for décor. So, warm yourself up to give your home a unique and charming look in this deary season.
