You spent precious time decorating your home for the Christmas season. You adore the cozy feel you’ve achieved and the decor of your home holds your favorite recent memories. But Christmas is over, so now what? Don’t run to put away ALL of your Christmas decorations just yet! We’ve got three sneaky ideas for how to maintain a winter vibe in your home while letting a few of your favorites stick around a little longer.
Cozy and Comfortable
If you have Christmas throws and blankets out in your home now, take a closer look. Are they Christmas themed, or just cozy for winter? Winter materials like velvet, faux fur and hide, and cable knit are comfy textures to keep out all winter long. As long as they don’t have Christmas sayings or designs, there is no reason to hide them away so quickly. Keep cozy items that are more neutral and add an accent pillow or blanket to celebrate winter.
Outside In
If you have Christmas wreaths or greenery out in your home, they can stay too. Wreaths aren’t just for holidays, they can give off the vibe of an entire season. Replace ornaments, Christmas bows, or other themed accents with more seasonal items such as pine cones or berries. A simple vase with faux greenery is also a winter themed piece that can add a nice feel to your home throughout the chilly season.
Winter Glow
Traditional Christmas lights probably aren’t something you want to keep up in your home once the holidays are over, but there are plenty of options for lighting that can enhance the cozy feel and still help you feel reminiscent of the holiday season. Fairy lights in jars or clear vases are charming and cozy. Fairly lights also warm up garland or sprigs placed in decorative bowls.
