How Do I...?

How Do I … Decorate for Winter?

As the days progressively shorten and the nights become long and cold, home becomes increasingly important as we long to cocoon in cozy interior spaces. And though it can be a bittersweet time, if we make the inside of our home inviting and more comfortable, the wait for spring becomes easier .

Consider adding full length draperies over blinds for drama and insulation.

Large, framed mirrors enlarge the space, and reflect candle light. We all look better by candle light!

Bring out your velvet and dark coloured cushions. Every season change offers an new opportunity to add in a gorgeous new colour accent.

Lay area rugs to define seating areas, even over wall to wall carpet.

Warm up the bedrooms - add a velvet bed skirt and silk shams and throw cushions.

For a quick and inexpensive welcome to winter visitors, hang a natural berry wreath on your front door.
