Winter lake house design is a no-fuss, chic approach to decorating. Not only does it look good in the literal lake house, but also works in the mountains and even at the beach.
"No fuss" can also mean “not expensive” in my book. As long as there is a good amount of cozy throws, ticking (striped) fabric, wood and rustic glass you should be set. Savvy Home blog had a terrific spread of a homes that truly capture this look in all its glory.
As with most getaways, your house design plan should be easy and easy to clean. Usually there is a sea of mud, leaves and sand all over the place so make sure the floors are easy to clean and nothing is too precious.
Antiques can look good in these homes, but make sure they are not priceless...flea market finds are perfect.
Also, a clean white palette is a great backdrop on which to decorate. Great fabrics and rich woods will pop.
This clean color scheme looks crisp in summer and brightens-up a winter space and is a surprisingly cool winter white. I would pair many white blankets and bedding as they have done in these images. Can’t you see it working for most seasons?
When it comes to keeping things bright, lighting should speak to the nature that surrounds you. Think about interesting bedroom lighting ideas that incorporate textural paper lanterns as well as wrought iron and glass table lamps.
