I feel like the house always feels so bare once all the
Christmas glam is gone. What’s a girl to do? My mantle still needs a little
love. It’s time to do a little decorating for winter. Here’s what I did to keep it feeling winter-y and not Christmas-y.
I removed all the
ornaments and left the pinecones in the candle holder, the birch logs in the
centre of the mantle and just moved vases with greenery from the built-in
shelves in the breakfast room to their new home on the mantle. Easy peasy. This
way, it still feels like winter but allows the space to breathe after all the
Christmas décor the mantle receives.
Here are a few other ways to cozy up your home for the
winter season:
- Layers – swap out your lighter throws for something warm and tactile. Or switch up your throw pillows with something knitted. I picked up this throw at Homesense. My kids call it the “cozy wozy” blankie.
- Texture – baskets, pinecones, extra blankets and sheepskins at the foot of the beds and more area rugs. I added these pinecones and piece of birch in my silver tray that sits on the coffee table.
-
Candles – you can’t have enough of these babies
in the winter. Line them up along your mantle or group 6-8 pillars together in
the middle of your coffee or dining table.
Keep it Beautiful
That looks amazing. I love the wood. Totally not painted right...?
