6 Interior Design Tips to Warm Your St. Louis Home This Winter
Winter can be a magical season in a lot of ways, but eventually we can experience, well, too much of a good thing. Those cozy days begin to feel drab, chilly, dreary, and gray, and you may find yourself craving some change long before spring rolls around. For others, this can be even more serious, with the winter blues taking a massive toll on your mood, productivity, and overall mental wellbeing. The good news is that the color and design choices you employ in your home can have a powerful, positive impact. And, we’re ready to share a little inspiration.Beat the Winter Blues with Strategic Color and Decor
#1: Heat Things Up a Bit
Bold colors can be a little intimidating, so try adding them in small doses. A throw blanket, a couple pillows, a rug... Step outside your comfort zone and pick warmer, even hot, colors like red, pink, or bright green. In this case, however, less is more. Don’t make colors compete for your attention, but rather let specific colors shine as the lone focal point.#2: Maximize Your Interior Light
Most of winter’s threat is found in the colder, darker, shorter days. To combat this, make the most of the light in your home. No need to run up your electricity bill, though... Use high-efficiency, warm LED lighting, and then use plenty of reflective decorations to bounce that light around your room. Mirrors, for example, not only make the most of light, but also can create the illusion of more space and depth within a room.#3: Warm Things Up with Fresh Interior Paint
There is really no better, or more cost-effective, way to transform and brighten your home than with fresh interior paint. Take a look here at a few trending interior colors for 2019 to get inspired! Warmer colors are definitely “in,” and are perfect for winter.
#4: Warm Materials and Textiles
As beautiful as paint is, freshly-stained wood also emits its own unique, and unparalleled, brand of warmth. Try adding some more natural touches to your home’s interior, maybe as an accent wall or a way to accentuate a cool architectural element. Cozy textiles like deeper rugs or shaggier pillows also add warmth and comfort to a room, especially in bolder, zestiest colors like we mentioned above.#5: Try an Accent Wall!
If you’d like to give a bolder color a test run, try painting an accent wall. It can lend a stylish look to your room, and also add that extra depth and warmth you’re craving.#6: Talk To a Professional Color Consultant
