SLC | There are many people who like to change up parts of their interior design with the changing seasons of the year, and one of the top candidates here surrounds the holiday and winter period. Many people love the cozy, warm atmosphere that comes with winter and the holidays, and some will go so far as to utilize home furnishings that speak to the season at this time of year.
At Guild Hall Home Furnishings, we’re happy to offer a wide range of furniture and interior design options to Salt Lake City clients, including living room furniture, bedroom furniture and any other rooms you have in mind. In this two-part blog series, we’ll go over some of the various ways you might look to decorate your space if winter or holiday themes are some of your top priorities this season.
The Cozy Approach
Perhaps the single most popular broad approach to winter or holiday décor is the “cozy” aspect. This approach utilizes furniture, color choices and adornments that speak to a soft, inviting atmosphere that speaks to warmth in the chill of winter.
For any space you’re looking to decorate in this way, look for lighter shades of colors such as whites, blacks and faded blues, as well as oversized furniture with soft fabrics like leather or velvet. Heavy area rugs and pillow covers work quite well too. Finally, don’t forget about winter- or holiday-themed wall decorations – you can find a wide array of these items for sale in any home décor store or online shop.
When it comes to the overall furniture arrangement, be sure to create an inviting atmosphere – use couches and chairs in both small and large sizes, as well as a variety of heights. This helps give the room a more relaxed feel.
“Winter Wonderland”
For those who want a bit of a splashier décor approach, the “winter wonderland” look is always an attractive route. This utilizes whites and silvers as prominent colors in your furniture and furnishings, often mimicking snow scenes or winter landscapes.
For this style, it’s important to choose items that represent these concepts – white carpets, silver lamps and accessories or wall hangings that feature snow scenes are all good ideas. As with the cozy approach, make sure to arrange your furniture in both large and small groupings.
By taking the time to carefully choose each aspect of your interior design for the winter season, you can truly create a space that speaks to the joys of the holiday and winter period. Here at Guild Hall Home Furnishings, we’re happy to provide a wide array of furniture choices for our Salt Lake City clients that fit any interior design vision. In part two of this blog series, we’ll go over some additional ideas and approaches you might take with your décor when utilizing winter and holiday themes; in the meantime, contact us for help with any furniture or interior design project need you may have in SLC or nearby areas!
