With the cooler months coming in, it means for many, a chance to fully embrace the introverted life by spending more of time indoors. There’s nothing quite like wrapping up in a fluffy blanket or throw and enjoying a good movie in front of the television.
An elegant home is one that doesn’t need to cost the earth and can, in fact, be done on a budget for the most part.
To add some elegance to your home this winter, here are some top tips worth knowing.
Invest in a cosy fireplace
If you love keeping warm, then you’re certainly going to love a cosy fireplace to curl up in front of. For a long time, fireplaces weren’t as popular as they used to be, with many opting to remove the fireplace in order to make for more storage and decor space.
However, fireplaces are back in style and many are embracing a new fireplace to help heat their homes this winter. A fireplace is certainly an elegant feature and one you definitely will come to appreciate on those cold evenings. It’s a great statement feature for a room too and works in most rooms, even though it’s typically found in the living room.
Go smart with your appliances
Smart appliances are very popular nowadays, especially with many of us being so tech-driven. With that being said, if there are any appliances that you’re lacking in your home, now is the time to invest in them to add that elegance to your spaces.
For example, a digital thermostat that links up to an app on your phone is great to add that bit of luxury to your home before even stepping through the front door.
There are plenty of smart appliances that can lead to a more technology-led home, so take a look at what’s new and popular.
Add glass accents
Glass accents are a great way to add elegance to your home. From mirrors to glass dining tables and coffee tables, it’s all helpful in bringing more natural light and brightness to a dull-looking space.
As a material, you can’t go wrong with glass being typically elegant in appearance. There’s a lot that you can get in a home interior design and furnishings when it comes to glass so experiment with what’s available and how this can be incorporated well into the space.
Redecorate with a new colour scheme
Consider redecorating with a new colour scheme, rather than just repainting with the same old colours. Bringing elegance to the space might mean redecorating with a new wallpaper or palette that better fits some of the furnishings you want to put into the space moving forward.
Include seasonal decor
Finally, when it comes to giving your spaces a little makeover with elegance every now and then, make sure that includes seasonal decor. There’s nothing like a little seasonal upgrade of elegance around the festive or spooky season.
If you’re someone who likes to decorate or you’ve not done much interior design work to your home recently, then now is the season to opt for elegance.
