Winter is in full swing in the Reno-Tahoe area, which means cooler temps are here, and your desire to hibernate has arrived. Cozy up and relax inside your home with these 4 winter design tips!
Focus On Earth Tones
Bring the outside indoors and focus on warm tones like greens, yellows, reds, and browns throughout your home. These colors radiate warmth, energy, and positivity as opposed to cool tones that promote more of a relaxing and calm vibe.
Warmer tones pair well with neutral tones like gray and white, which are very popular in most homes and make it easy to decorate.
Let There Be Light
Winter tends to bring a lack of natural lighting, which is important for your mental health. Incorporate warm lighting into your home to channel warmth and sunlight into your home. An easy way to do this is by adding lamps throughout the home or even lighting a candle for added ambiance and coziness.
Essential Oils
Essential oils are known to have many health benefits, and they make your home smell amazing! Embrace the holiday season with scents like cinnamon leaf, peppermint, and ginger.
-
Cinnamon Leaf: Enhances mood, boosts immunity, promotes stress relief, and improves brain function
-
Peppermint: Boosts attention and focus, reduces pain and stress, and helps treat cough and colds
-
Ginger: Helps fight fatigue, enhances concentration, reduces feelings of stress, and helps reduce nausea
Don't Forget To Accessorize!
The colder temperatures will make you want to wrap yourself up in blankets, so make them part of your decor! Thick curtains are helpful to keep any cold air out, and rugs are great for hardwood and tile floors that get cold in the winter.
The weather outside may be frightful, but your warm and cozy home will be delightful! If you need any help or recommendations, reach out to me! I'm always happy to help.
