Now that we’ve entered Northern California’s cooler-but-still-temperate version of winter, we find ourselves trying to make our spaces as cozy as possible until the warmth of spring returns.
Here are a few simple ways to embrace the season and make your rooms winter-ready:
- Repurpose Holiday Décor. Don’t pack everything away just yet! Strings of fairy lights and natural greenery can transition seamlessly into winter decor, adding charm and a soft glow to your home.
- Be Lavish With Light. Create a soothing ambience with flickering candles and golden light. Change out any cool white bulbs to warm tones, and use pillar candles in assorted sizes (like these flameless options) to carry the warmth throughout your rooms.
- Showcase Cozy Wood Tones. Whether it’s a statement wood coffee table, rustic picture frames, or accents like trays and bowls, natural wood tones bring an organic warmth to any space.
- Add Seasonal Flowers. Drawing inspiration from events like San Francisco’s upcoming Flower Market Fair, consider incorporating fresh blooms and sprigs into your home. Flowers like orchids, peonies, and plum blossoms symbolize good fortune and add a festive yet elegant touch, while cedar and juniper clippings provide soft green hues that last quite a while.
Winter styling isn’t just about staying warm—it’s about making your home a sanctuary. Whether you’re refreshing your current space or dreaming of a new one, I can help you find the perfect fit. Let’s chat about your goals for 2025!
