If you’re ready to welcome guests into your home for the holidays, you might be looking at quick and simple ways to make your space holiday-special and new without breaking a sweat—or much of one, anyway. At Bretz Interiors serving the greater Denver area, we have a few ideas for ways to make your home ready for the holidays or just the regular days. Read on to learn more!
Deck Your Walls
This year’s trending mix of warm and cool tones means that holiday decorating could get tricky. The key to making the trend work is to pick one focal point with creative accents that can complement it. For example, paint one wall a trendy bright yellow, and then transform the whole look by adding complementary artwork in cool neutrals or grays. You can mix the type of art you use, including holiday-specific pieces and day-to-day décor. As you add new art pieces, look beyond reproductions by considering an original piece or two. It might seem out of your price range, but you can find great pieces from new local artists at small coffee shops, your community council for the arts, or even local community libraries or centers: they often display and sell artwork made by local artisans.
Bring in a Feel of Winter
People often associate the holidays with winter (and the mountains) and the coziness that comes with it, so adding a touch of that wintery or mountainy feel can bring it home. Rustic décor and mixed fabrics can add that cozy sense, so break out the comfy accent pillows and throw blankets and be sure they have different textures and patterns to create an aura reminiscent of a mountain lodge.
Add the Right Light
Lighting can be the best part of creating a cozy winter scene for a space, so be sure your lighting is on point. Dimmable LED lights can warm a room, and the right candles (whether you select old-school match-lit candles or battery-powered, programmable flameless ones) can set the mood in the evening. And during daylight hours, your window coverings can help set the scene for your cozy fall and winter retreat. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades by Hunter Douglas are available in a cornucopia (pardon the phrasing, but it just makes sense) of fabrics, colors, and textures. Made from two layers of fabric that diffuse light and create a warming glow, Sonnette Cellular Roller Shades act as insulation at the window, creating an energy-efficient barrier keeping outside air out and inside air in.
Not only do both of these products provide warmth and color, they are safe for children and pets. And they’re both available with rebate savings from now until December 6, 2021, so they’re even more appealing! Remember, there’s nothing more satisfying than coming home to a comfortable space. So, enjoy your holiday home this season, with warm and cozy accents.
