Winter decoration: how to prepare your home for the cold months

Everything good ends ... even good weather. This does not mean that we can not enjoy the autumn and winter months, but we must adapt our life and our home to the needs of this time of year. If we change the wardrobe to retrieve the winter garments from the storeroom and go to the shops to buy the seasonal coat, why do not we also dress our house for rain, cold and snow?

With this list of ideas you will find it much easier to turn your home into a cozy place to enjoy those days of blanket and sofa:

1. How to make your home cozy on rainy and cold days

The time has come to fill our homes with carpets, cushions, curtains and blankets to turn our home into a nest that protects us from the cold outside. In addition to heating, it is possible to counteract the temperature drop with a decoration based on warm colors, cozy lights or fluffy bedding.

2. Targets, woods and skins to prepare your home for a fall / winter 'chic'

Although traditionally, except in the Nordic countries, white is considered a cold color typical of summer, with a few rugs, a touch of wood and a few leather blankets, it is possible to turn a cold room painted light color into a modern and cozy refuge to enjoy the winter evenings in the heat of the heating or, the most fortunate, of the fireplace.

3. Ways to combine the television and the fireplace in the living room

Placing a television and a fireplace on the same wall requires a balance. These two elements of the room need a precise plan to give the space a touch of warmth and comfort. You can choose to integrate both in the same block, separate them in opposite ends of the room or look for a more 'artistic' combination.

4. Ideas to cover the radiators in an original way

The radiators, covered or not, are visible and notorious in the homes but they can hide, be useful or become decorative elements. They can be covered with a metal grid, used to mount a shelf or hide them inside a nice closet.

5. How to choose curtains for the house

The curtains are very practical elements that, in addition to protecting a room from natural light have a very particular decorative function. Choosing the most flattering curtains for our house can be a bit complicated if we do not take into account a series of determining factors such as the decorative style of the room where they are going to go, the colors, the length or the thickness.

6. Brick walls seen to give a rustic and homely touch to your home

It depends on how it is used, but a wall of exposed brick can be both elegant, classic, rustic, homelike and even modern. Its texture and color offer a unique opportunity to break with the flat colors so typical in today's homes.

7. This way a terrace is decorated to use it also in winter

A terrace is an element of the house very coveted, that's why it is important to take advantage of it all year round. A good start is to opt for fixed furniture that can stand well in the open and does not degrade easily. It is also important to use anti-slip floors and to conceive the terrace as an extension of the house.

8. You can have a 'wild' house thanks to the indoor dry trees

Trees are one of the most beautiful and noble materials that we can find in nature and a continuous source of inspiration for the decoration of our home. Some people prefer to paint them on the wall or paste a vinyl, but each time it takes more to pick up a dry tree and plant it, why not, in the living room. Unlike the artificial, their imperfect branches, their veins ... bring a rustic and 'wild' to our home.

9. Practical advice to isolate you from the cold (and not spend on heating)

The cold begins to arrive little by little. But we are still at that moment in which we do not know whether to put the heating or not. It is an important expense -800 euros per year in the case of one floor and about 1,400 in the case of a house-, so isolation is the key: putting carpets, keeping the blinds down in the hours when they are not Glue the sun or check cracks and cracks and cover them with weather strips helps keep the heat.

10. How to better advertise your home to sell it in winter

The winter is characterized by fewer hours of light, cooler ... and for being a time of real estate sales. Therefore, if we do not take care of some details such as cleaning the water, snow or ice, turning on the lights or adapting the decoration, our house may be undeserved and not seduce the buyer who despite the cold looks for a house at this time of year.
