Ideas for wooly winter décor

Create a cosy nook that emanates warmth and comfort

Soft knits make for elegant décor accessories for winter. Use soft, pale colours and mix woven, crocheted and knitted wool pieces to create added interest.

Come winter and we want to be snug as a bug all the time. If you are anything like us, you will appreciate our need for cosy spots around the house. To beat the harsh cold in comfort and style, and have a reason to leave the bed, we suggest you create a comfy warm spot in a favourite corner of your home. While interior décor isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions wool, we think soft knits make for perfectly elegant décor accessories for the chilly months. Using a natural material such as wool makes it an exquisite look, but which is also extremely simple to create. Choose a corner of your home, preferably by the window, and lay out an area rug. Add on some plush textured cushions for comfort while warming up the space with candles big and small. A woven ceiling lamp will be the extra source of light, much needed in the grey months. As you create the space remember to keep the seasonal tone in mind and work with soft, pale colours instead of vibrant ones. Mixing woven, crocheted and knitted wool pieces creates added interest, and if you are someone who enjoys knitting go ahead and use something you may have made yourself. Now all you need is a throw to get comfortable under, while a cup of coffee and a beautiful winter view will do the rest.
