Seasonal Decorating: Changing Your Room for Winter
Winter is a time when you want to curl up in front of a fire in your favourite cozy, snug room - preferably wrapped in some sort of furry blanket. Even if you usually channel minimalistic chic when it comes to interior design and accessorising, winter is a time for soft textiles, warm lighting and roaring fires.
In the run up to Christmas many people already have hectic schedules, with Christmas shopping, present wrapping and turkey buying duties all to attend to. This means that for some people the idea of redecorating their homes sounds like a nightmare - and something that should be avoided at all costs. However, doing some seasonal sprucing in your home ready for winter doesn’t have to be quite as stressful as you may think, with many decorative touches taking very little effort.
Accessorise your home
Decorative accessories are a great way to change the look of a room without breaking the bank or taking up all of your spare time, meaning they can be changed regularly to suit the seasons. Investing in some new cushions is a great way to change the feel of a room, and can add some seasonal festive cheer in the run up to Christmas. Candles and lamp shades are also inexpensive, easy changes that still have great impact.
Shut out the winter
Drawing the curtains and shutting out the cold, grey evenings is one of the many little pleasures of winter, and it is even more enjoyable when you have beautiful curtains. Soft furnishings can make or break the decor of a room, and this becomes even more prominent during the winter months when you spend more and more time with the curtains closed.
Deep, rich colours in thick, luxe fabrics are a welcome choice to keep out the cold, or warm taupes and browns are consistently versatile tones that work well with many colour palettes. Once you have chosen your custom-made curtains from Lukehurst, our professional fitting team will come to your home to put them up. All of the style, none of the hassle.
Don’t forget your dining room
If you're thinking ahead to Christmas then a beautiful large dining table is the ultimate focal point for your home. We have a wide range of dining table and chair sets in a variety of different finishes and woods, with one to suit every home. Upholstered dining room chairs are a great way to tie in the colours of your room, and we are able to order chairs with custom fabrics to ensure that they’re a perfect fit. Although a beautiful dining table is a great addition to your room all year round, they’re a must-have when it comes to the festive season. A true winter staple.
Even if you loathe winter, changing your decor for the season can create a cosy space in your home that you can escape to.- 3rd December 2014
