Although it’s easy to think that decorating your home for winter is the same as decorating for Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, we don’t follow that mindset here at House Beautiful. The cold months that accompany the end and beginning of the year deserve their own interior design style that ensures a cozy, warm season. While we’re not saying you should rearrange everything about your home every season (after all, you didn’t pay off Serena & Lily’s furniture only to put it in storage after a few months), we are saying that with these winter decorating ideas you can keep a few aspects in mind Your home should change when the cold comes to make everyday life more beautiful.
As the temperature continues to drop – and hopefully some snow, if only for aesthetic reasons – there’s nothing better than coming home after a long day and immediately warming up, both from the heating and the coziness of your home . It’s the little things that make your home a winter sanctuary, like decorating your mantel or swapping out your lightweight blankets for heavier alternatives. And if you have a private outdoor area, you no longer have to worry about your patio freezing with stylish and functional patio heaters.
No matter where your home is, our list covers everything from winter decorating ideas for living rooms to powder rooms to the attic. Read below to find tons of ways to winterize your home’s aesthetic and make the cold months fly by.
