It’s not just the trees that are changing as the cooler air descends. Interiors are being influenced by a host of styles from fairy tale traditional to modern and minimalistic. Here, we reveal the coolest seasonal secrets to help you get your home décor wrapped up for Winter.

Scandinavian style

Scandinavians get it right by letting in the light. Natural daylight, though less of it in Winter, can improve your mood so windows should be large and uncluttered. If you are a lover of this style you’ll need to commit to getting rid of those heavy curtains and consider natural wood shutters, open fire places and a minimalist approach.

This type of home wouldn’t be complete without injecting natural materials, beautiful backdrops of twinkling lights and traditional red, white and green pops of colour. This Pinterest board has it in abundance.

Parisian Glamour 

Don’t feel like you have to hibernate, create a sophisticated entertaining area over the Winter months with glass, brass, velvets and opulent lighting instead. This growing trend exudes a blend of luxurious materials with shiny accessories, such as plush upholstered chairs, glass tables and lavish vases.

In terms of colour, punctuate light shades and neutrals with purple, dark blue and gold. To really add that ‘je ne sais quoi’ pull the style together by book-ending curved sofas or a chaise longue with glass and bronze tables. We adore this puzzle coffee table from designer Tom Faulkner.

Wild and wonderful

Be inspired by wild animals and their purity. This growing theme derives from furry throws, neutral animal print cushions and an abundance of white. Clear the mantle piece and add a canvas of a white horse, polar bear or deer to accentuate the fire place. In terms of finishing with accessories use feathers sparingly, add dark green foliage to bring the outside in and add small ornaments such as winter snow globes.

Traditional tartan

Tartan has the power to add warmth and allow the family to take centre stage. Whether you prefer berry and reds or navy and green, used effectively tartan, plaid and patterned fabrics can ooze Scottish charm. Team upholstered furniture and luxurious curtains with a roaring fire and you will instantly create a cosy living space primed for gift unwrapping this Christmas.

To allow the look to flow in to your dining room use solid wood dining tables and antler decorative accessories with wrought iron lighting fixtures. A neutral colour palette in creams and beige can marry with classic plaid serviettes for a subtle but spectacular styled room.
