The build up of excitement during the hectic holiday season. Counting down the days. Decorating, parties, merriment, ringing in the new year. Then the holidays come to an abrupt halt and the decorations are packed away for another year. The house feels cold and empty.
Cozy up your house after the holidays by dimming your lamps, sitting in front of a roaring fire, pouring yourself a glass of wine, and taking your winter decorating cues straight from nature. A few sprigs of fresh greenery can stay on the coffee table all winter long like in the DIY Showoff's home.
Pomegranates add a punch of color to this kitchen from Craftberry Bush, until you're ready to make a batch of pomegranate martinis.
Bulbs can be forced into bloom all winter long and set on a beautiful serving tray like these paper whites from Our Fifth House. Greenery is one way to maintain cozy home design all year long.
Don't forget the outside holiday inspiration. Make an impression with an overflowing window box filled with greens and a welcoming pineapple from Centers and Squares.
So take a walk in the woods on a quiet winter day and gather a few fallen evergreen branches to spruce up your home this winter.
