‘Tis the season for cozy decor – even after the holidays have passed! Winter can feel like a lull for many, so might as well keep up a little whimsy through the cold and gloomy days. But, how to do so without feeling like the holidays overstayed their welcome?
Follow our five tips for creating chic winter decor:
Keep Any Evergreen Items Up
If you have garland wrapped around your railings or hung upon your mailbox, even perfectly potted pine trees – leave them! Whether faux or real, these nature pieces will add a sense of comfort that fits precisely for the winter season.
Remove Any Holiday-Themed Decorations
Any festive-looking bulbs, ribbons or wreaths can be taken down post-holidays. Doing so will ensure your winter decor remains relevant and stylish opposed to cheesy and forgotten about.
Swap Colorful Lights For White Lights
Who doesn’t love the glow of warm lights on a cold winter day? Lights have a way of setting the mood, but when the lights are colored, they inevitably scream the holidays! So, switching out any colored lights for white ones will ensure you are creating a cheery vibe without the festive spirit.
Add Rustic Pieces
Make your space even more homey with some classic rustic pieces. Think, chopped firewood in a basket, big lanterns, antique sleds, skis or ice skates. This nostalgic look will radiate a sense of welcome and warmth.
Place in Solar-Powered Walkway Lighting
With how early it gets dark in the winter, you may want to add in a few solar-powered lights along your walkway. This will not only help you and your guests see slippery spots more easily while approaching your house, but these lights will also add an extra twinkle to your curb.
