Rainy days getting you down? Colder weather can leave even the liveliest of households feeling drab and grey. The time is ripe for putting in a few fresh touches into your daily routine to avoid the winter blues. Here are 3 sure-fire ways to get your home feeling cosier.
1. Colourful accessories
We’ve all been there - made a hasty decision after falling in love with some bright furniture only to spend the next few years deeply regretting the decision to grace your lounge room with bright polka-dots or revolting floral patterns. Yet, colour and pattern are guaranteed ways to add personality to a space. So how to compromise? Stick to statement accessories, like rugs, cushions and vases. Smaller items can be shifted and hidden away with the season but even the slightest dab of colour can drastically alter the atmosphere of an interior.
2. Adjust your lighting
Sometimes the use of fluorescent lighting might be a conscious choice to reduce household environmental impact. Often, however, it’s merely the result of poor or imprudent decision-making - although natural light obviously takes the cake when it comes to brightening interiors, Winter can be a little light on that front and warm, yellow-based globes will ensure a homely feel overall. Try using lamps instead of overhead lighting, since this will partially distort the proportionality of the room, making it feel simultaneously more intimate and more spacious.
3. Indulge in a bit of greenery
There’s nothing like a bit of plant life to get a home feeling alive! From pot plants and herb gardens to freshly-cut flowers, not only does a little flora enhance the air quality and aroma of your home, it simply makes it more inviting, even on those cloudy days.
