The New Year is here, you've got the Christmas Decorations put away, your home is feeling clean and refreshed....... but how do you decorate it? It’s still winter outside, snow on the ground, but it's not quite time to pull out the daisies and sunflowers yet so what do you do?
Well, I'm here to help you out with just this problem! Winter is its own long season, more than just Christmas decor.
This week I've got several tips to help you Decorate for Winter After Christmas. I've also got my 'Top 10 Winter Décor' items for the week. Enjoy!
“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.”
How to Decorate for Winter After Christmas
-Get rid of any red accents and the ornaments. Use neutral soft colors such as white, cream, tan, blue, silver.
-Use natural elements like wood and spruce accents. Small alpine trees and wood bowls are awesome. Pinecones work great for bowl or tray fillers.
-Rustic ribbons and lace work great for accents in the space. Jute and burlap for table runners bring in that winter feel too.
-Cozy warm blankets and sweater pillows. These create a feeling of warmth and coziness. Don't forget to add these to the bedroom décor as well!
-Snowman & snowflakes are fun little accents to use. Make sure they are in blue, gray, and white tones. We don't want there to be a Christmas vibe by using the red and green!
-Candles are so fun to use to set that cozy mood. I recommend battery operated candles that have a timer... they are a huge time saver!
-Speaking of lights, try changing out your table lamps to something that is a little shiny or iridescent. They catch the light and add a little sparkle.
-Lighted metal signs are a great way to add some fun on mantles or open shelves and blend in great with the Winter theme.
-Little Christmas villages are obviously associated with Christmas, but you can find the cutest all white ceramic or metal houses to accent your winter decor.
-Table décor, mantle décor, and wreaths should all follow the guidelines above to create a fun winter feel and avoid the Christmas vibe.
