As the nights draw in, we naturally require more cosy and comfortable qualities from our interior design at home. Here are some easy tips to help you ring the seasonal changes in your home. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the nights draw in and the weather cools down, we\nnaturally start behaving a little differently. Cooling showers are quickly\nreplaced with long hot soaks in the bath, fresh zesty cold salads are replaced\nwith hot filling stews and soups, and we start spending a lot more time inside\nthe home for cosy nights in on the sofa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of this, the light, airy decor we adored in summer\nsimply doesn’t work anymore, as we desire soft, tactile materials, warm tones\nand comfort to match the change in season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re feeling the need to nest and turn your home into a\ncosy retreat to enjoy while the weather continues to go downhill outside, these\neasy tips should give you some inspiration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Tartan & Plaid<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Tartan and plaid have been big news with hight street fashion\nover the last few winters, and their appearance doesn’t just stop at clothes.\nPlaid cushions, throws, laminate floor tiles and even stuffed toys and\nChristmas decorations have happily formed part of key winter interior design\ntrends in some shape or form, several seasons in a row. If you want to\ninstantly add warmth to your house, add some plaid and tartan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Signature Quilts\n& Throws<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To keep your heating bill down, and to instantly cosy up\nyour bedroom, add a quilt or throw to your bed. With throws, opt for chunky\nknits or luxury faux fur in a neutral colour that will go with most of your\nbedding. With quilts, consider investing in a high quality patchwork or unique\nprint that will last you for years, or even consider making your own. If you’re\na bit crafty, this could be a great project to enjoy enabling you to make\nsomething that will look fabulous on your bed every winter that can be passed\ndown through the generations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Smells<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The way your home feels isn’t just about how it looks, its\nalso a lot to do with how it smells. Ever walked into a home that smells of\nfreshly baked bread and instantly warmed to your surroundings? Or walked into a\nkitchen or bathroom with a strong pine or bleach scent and instantly identified\nit as being clean? Smells are incredibly powerful, and could be just what you\nneed to add cosiness to your home. Cranberry, oranges and spices like cinnamon\nall add a warming winter smell to your home. There are plug-ins and air\nfresheners available, but where possible natural smells are the best. Try\npiercing oranges with cloves and putting them in a bowl, or adding pine cones\nto your fire when you’re burning wood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Textures Matter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    During summer, we tend to strip materials back to thin cottons and linens that are cooling on the skin. During winter, it’s all about layering up and playing with thicker, warmer textures. Wool, chunky knits, velvet, faux fur cushions<\/a>, and also opulent looking and feeling fabrics like silks all add to a warmer feel. Try to layer up areas like sofas and beds from the sheets up, putting different textures on top of each other. For example your duvet cover is cotton, and you place a fine knit hanging throw over the top, followed by a thick faux fur throw and a combination of velvet and silk cushions. It is also important to remember this rule with all surfaces. For example; a cold floor tile could benefit from a beautiful chunky rug, or a raw brick or plain wall tile could look great with some 3D art added to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Don’t be afraid to play with texture to add depth to your\ninterior design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remember, interior design is as much about colour schemes and trends<\/a> as it is about imagination, creativity and having an open mind. Have fun, experiment and enjoy online image sharing sites as sources of inspiration. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
