Winter brings crisp air, bare trees, foggy mornings, and an array of peppermint-flavored treats. Although it’s a subtle shift for those of us who live in Southern California, the winter season always signifies a time of change and renewal. If you’re looking to freshen up your home decor during the upcoming months, try implementing these trends to revitalize your living space.
Metallics
Provide an elegant touch to any space this season by using metallics, which can be mixed and matched with an endless variety of design elements. Antiques, brass, and copper will all add warmth to a room. Additionally, gold, bronze, rose gold, and silver are all popular choices this season, and if you wish to tone down the metallic’s shine, then try a rustic or matte finish.
Bold Patterns
Find inspiration during the colder months by introducing bold patterns into your living space. Colorful new pillows and throws can easily transform a living room, while new window treatments in a bedroom can provide a fresh, modern approach. Another design idea is to try adding a vibrant kitchen accent wall. Even using bold patterns in small ways can rejuvenate your interior space.
Matte Black
Sleek and sophisticated, matte black is becoming another major design trend this season. Try adding a few matte black finishes to your home decor, or mix matte blacks with bold colors for another stunning look. Shown below, one of our agent’s properties (not currently on the market) styled the kitchen perfectly with chic, matte black accents.
Vintage Pieces
Incorporate a few vintage furniture pieces or accessories into your existing decor for a refreshing look. Search for vintage treasures at flea markets, estate sales, and second-hand shops. You can also repurpose a vintage piece to suit your individual style. Take a traditional approach to tableware this season, too. Use vintage plates, bowls, platters, and other pieces to create beautiful and unique place settings.
Neutral Colors
If you prefer a more subtle approach in home decor, then use neutral and earthy colors for a comforting ambiance. Browns, grays, and creams are all popular hues this season, and you can mix tones, textures, and shapes to bring contrast and dimension to more muted colors. The color of warm gray will especially anchor any space and create a cozy atmosphere for the chilly winter months.
