Winter after the holiday season can feel a little drab. With long nights, cold winter days and gray skies, there’s a lot that can make winter start to feel dreary. This season, make your indoor space burst with life and drama with some carefully crafted decor options.
Emerald Green
A nod to the greenery of pine boughs at your favorite holiday festivities, emerald green is a nature-inspired jewel tone that brings drama and warmth to your winter interior. It pairs beautifully with other dramatic colors, gold accents or simple textiles and natural textures like wood. Emerald green is perfect for the decorator who wants a bit of depth to their winter decor but isn’t ready to commit to a maximalist display.
Navy
A rich and bold color, navy can act as an anchor in any season’s decor, but especially holds a key place in a winter palette. Moody and sophisticated without being uninviting, navy is an ideal accent color to boldly paint on walls or choose for upholstery. A navy velvet chair with faux fur can add a luxurious feel to any room, while inviting guests to get cozy and enjoy the comforts of the indoors.
White
A bright white can add a splash of drama and crispness to your room. Go for small accents in the form of faux fur rugs or throws. Or opt for a modern feel with an all-white couch or bedding. When paired with deep navy or a touch of emerald, you can evoke a holiday or winter feeling without leaning into the season too much.
Charcoal Gray
A neutral color that will offer the perfect backdrop to any winter color pallet, charcoal gray is an excellent option for walls, furniture or large area rugs to ground your space. For a polished look, incorporate metallic decor, mirrors and pops of color in your favorite jewel tones.
Icy Silver or Warming Gold
Silver tones add a frosty and icy feel without adding to the drab grays of winter. On the flip side, gold offers a touch of drama and warmth. Metallic decor of any hue can be a great accent against the dramatic and rich tones that often make up winter decor.
