When
winter comes around, our home becomes a refuge from the cold and
darkness outside. It's therefore vital that your home is outfitted
with an eye to comfort, style and making your living spaces as
comfortable and enjoyable as possible. With a winter redesign in
mind, here are some of my favourite picks from a site I came across
recently; LuxDeco. To quote Sheerluxe.com the site 'brings together
complete decor looks'; exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for this
winter.
⇢ Coupé Arc Floor Lamp
⇢ Monsieur T Armchair
⇢ Eichholtz Telescope
⇢ Jeeves Pendant Light
⇢ Tux Chair
⇢ La Bohème Coffee Table
The
first piece to consider when putting together a living room decor is
the centrepiece; think chairs and coffee table. The table acts as a
gathering point for visitors, adds focus to a space and is useful for
drinks, brunch or just relaxing around. The 'La Bohème' coffee tablefrom LuxDeco definitely fits the bill, the dark walnut and plush
upholstery adding a sumptuous, warm feel to a room which is ideal for
winter.
Next, complement the look of the table by adding some
chairs to surround it. For something like the La Bohème, you'll want
something low and comfortable which can sit a few feet away; let your
legs have some room! Don't be afraid of splashing some colour or a
daring pattern; something like the Stuart Scott Tux Chair would be
ideal to liven things up. Then again, if you prefer a more classic
styling, perhaps the Monsieur T Armchair would be more your speed.
Tailor the seating to your personal style and with space permitting
match luxurious chairs which complement each other and ultimately tie
the room together.
Much of the mood of your room will be
decided by its lighting arrangements. In the day, its fine to light
up the whole room and dispel the winter gloom, but in the evening
some more subtle lighting in the corner of the room can really make
things feel cosy. A great choice would be the 'Coupe Arc' lamp; it's
a minimalist piece which doesn't intrude into the space whilst adding
some retro style. If you're feeling more fun, a gaming room or bar
could benefit from lights like the Jeeves lamp; it's light-hearted
piece which will add quirky charm to the room.
Finally, no
space is complete without some adornment. A few accessories which
reflect your interests will help to make a space really suit you, as
well as making great conversation pieces. The Eichholtz Telescope is
a lovely addition for the room of an avid stargazer, and would fit
well with the dark tones of the La Bohème mentioned above. If you're
not interested in astronomy, even some pillows or a throw rug would
add some personality. Don't go overboard, though; it's easy to
overpower a space with clutter and dispel the comfy feeling you've
been building.
