Changing the color of some walls or even decor items can be a practical way to change the atmosphere, but without investing in major renovations. To do this, replace cold, vibrant colors with warmer, earthier tones.

Use curtains, cushion covers, throws or rugs in colors such as brown, beige, burgundy, orange or earthy tones to create a cozy feel.

According to Matheus Ximenes PinhoCEO yes Mom, marketplace for furniture and signed design pieces from Brazil, earthy tones are trends for winter, the main colors are orange, red, yellow and green. “A strong global trend is people’s desire for earthier, more natural environments, with lots of wood and prioritizing coziness”, he defines.

6) Decorate with natural elements

Bring elements of nature indoors, such as dry twigs, pine cones, dried leaves or seasonal flower arrangements. This brings a sense of connection with nature and complements the winter atmosphere.

7) Thermal mats

Consider investing in heat mats for the coldest areas of the house, such as the bathroom. These rugs provide a surface that is warm to the touch, making the environment more comfortable.

8) Heavier curtains

Swap lightweight curtains for heavier models, such as velvet curtains or thicker fabrics. They help block cold air currents and keep the heat inside.

9) Take advantage of natural light

During the winter, the days are shorter, but make the most of the natural light by opening the curtains during the day to let the sunlight in and warm the rooms.

Although thick fabrics help to cope with low temperatures, don’t forget to allow light to enter the spaces of the house.

10) Opt for warm textile elements

Add warm textures and fabrics throughout the home. Use cushion covers, curtains, rugs and even tablecloths made from fabrics such as velvet, wool, tricot or flannel. These materials feel pleasant to the touch and help create a welcoming atmosphere.

In addition, according to the CEO of Muma, handcrafted pieces refer to the trend of the season. Therefore, it is worth investing in embroidery, handmade fabrics and, in particular, ceramics. “What have gained prominence are rugs and blankets in natural fibers”, he adds.
