Great Gallery
A winter-themed gallery wall brings in the feel of the outdoors – skiing on a crisp day and stacking wood in the snow – without actually having to be outside.
Pretty Pinecones
Once the object of many a disastrous childhood crafting project, pinecones are once again the holiday-craft material du jour. Luckily, your paintbrush hand is a lot steadier now.
Plaid is Rad
To give your bedroom a jolt of holiday-decor juju, switch out your regular sheets for a festive flannel set in a bold red or blue plaid.
Faux Fire
If you have a working fireplace, light it up! If you don’t, consider creating a faux mantel and fireplace with white-light-wrapped birch logs propped inside.
Grey for Days
Layering plush soft furnishings in an array of greys creates a neutral cocoon where nothing clashes and everything is calm.
Chocolate Fix
Put away the bar cart for a bit and set up a hot chocolate bar instead – nothing is cozier than settling down with a cup of hot cocoa (with a little something from the bar cart splashed in).
Fur You
The simple act of placing a faux-fur throw at the foot of the bed instantly transforms a bedroom into a wintery sleeping oasis. Sounds good, right? Would love to hear what else you do to give that hygge feel to your home.
