Winteriors: Design Ideas for the Winter

Time flies really fast. Before you know it, summer’s over and in comes the fall. Then winter sets in. It’s pretty easy to design the inside of a house. It’s another thing however, to come up with designs for the different seasons. Let’s skip forward a few months and see what kind of winter design ideas are good for a house.

Palette
Spring colors are mostly pastel – green and blue. Summer is also blue to cool down the scene. Fall would be yellow and red to match the leaves. Winter though, is predominantly white with a bit of gray. These colors blend well with the exterior of a house in a snowy region. But some houses though opt for red or yellow to give it a “cozier” feel.
Rugs
It’s always a good idea to roll out the plush rugs during the winter since wood and tile floorings can be too cold to the touch. Not only does a beautiful rug provide an aesthetic advantage, it also has practical uses, warming up residents.
Fire
Romantic candlelight fire in lamps can change the mood of a winter home if you don’t have a (or make use of your) fireplace. As long as every safety precaution is observed, fire serves both an aesthetic as well as practical design.
