Top 5 Style Tips for the Chilly Winter Months

June 07, 2017

Winter has officially begun and we are feeling the chilly weather (even here in Brisbane!)

Create your own cosy haven at home to truly enjoy the frostiest season of the year.

We tend to spend a lot more time indoors during winter, so it's important to make your home feel inviting and comfortable.

Here are our top 5 tips to keep the warmth & style turned up in your pad!

1. Create luxe layers with blankets, throws & cushions

It's all about comfort & warmth in the cool months, so get layering with plenty of throws, pillows and blankets in a variety of textures and patterns. This will instantly warm up the room and create that cosy vibe. For a glam winter look add in a sheepskin throw, in a fun colour like taupe or pink!

2. Use metallic accessories & decor

Gold, Copper & Silver foil accents will bring a pop of colour and richness to the space. A perfect way to do this is to frame a foil print, use one of our current designs or have something customised especially for you!

3. Bring the outdoors in with lush plants and greenery

Plants help breathe life into a space, improve air quality and look stunning! Style them in a seagrass basket, or pretty pot to accessorise any space in your home.

4. Bring mood lighting & scents into each zone

Candles & diffusers are a perfect way to create that cosy, warm feeling. When you get home, light a beautifully scented candle to add an ambient glow, and add fragrant bliss to your space. Rich scents such as vanilla & jasmine work especially well in the cold months.

5. Jewel toned colours add warmth to your interior

Changing a few cushions can completely transform the look of your sofa or bed. Using rich jewel tones works perfectly for winter months and adds a dramatic, moody look. Create a visually warm colour palette with indigo, emerald and copper tones.
