The cold winter months are just around the corner, and that means it's time to get your home ready for winter. A winter-proof interior not only provides more comfort, but also makes your home cozier and more atmospheric. Here are some practical tips to get your interior ready for winter and choose the best winter decorations.

1. Add warm textures and materials

A warm interior starts with the right textures and materials.

• Warm blankets and throws : Place soft throws and blankets on the couch or your bed. Choose materials such as wool, fleece or faux fur.

• Rich rugs : A rug provides warmth underfoot and gives your room a cozy look.

• Decorative cushions : Add extra cushions in warm colours and soft fabrics to make your interior inviting.

  

2. Play with lighting

The right lighting can make a big difference in the dark winter months.

• Mood lighting : Use dimmable bulbs to create a warm glow.

• Candles and candlesticks : Place candles or LED candles in stylish candlesticks in strategic places for an intimate atmosphere.

• String Lights : Add string lights for a festive and cozy look. They make a perfect winter decoration.

3. Create a winter color palette

Colors have a great influence on the atmosphere of your interior.

• Warm tones : Choose earth tones such as brown, orange, and burgundy.

• Neutral base : Combine warm tones with a neutral base such as beige or gray.

• Accent Colors : Use accents like gold or dark blue to give a luxurious look.

4. Use natural and decorative elements

Bring nature and stylish decoration indoors to give your interior a warm and rustic look.

• Evergreens or artificial plants : Place hardy houseplants such as a Christmas cactus or choose low-maintenance artificial plants. They are ideal as winter decoration.

• Wooden accessories and decorative bowls : Use wooden bowls, candlesticks or furniture to create a warm atmosphere. Fill decorative bowls with seasonal elements such as pine cones or dried flowers.

• Vases and decoration on a stand : Place a beautiful vase with branches or dried flowers, or use decoration on a stand for a stylish accent.

Comfort is essential in winter.

• Cozy sitting areas : Set up a corner with a comfortable chair, a blanket and a reading lamp.
