Jazz up your interiors with Rugs

A few colorful rugs can jazz up your home and fill it with energy and vigor. If you have carpet or hardwood on the floor, update it with one or two rugs. Try electrifying orange, cheery lemon yellow or lush green and balance the décor with a few accent pieces of the same color around the room. However, do not add too many colors in a single room, as it will make the place look like a circus.

A Cheerful Bathroom

Throw out the lackluster bath mats and place a lush rug runner instead. You can also use exotic tribal runners that will add a special touch of surprising splendor in the bathroom. A good rug runner will provide so much more bang for the money and will get better looking with age. The place can also be accented by installing a small mirror with an ornate, colorful frame. Besides, change the shower curtain, decorate a bare wall with wall decals, and install a new towel rack.

Bring in Nature’s Spirit

Winter is the time when the nature goes into hibernation. So, cheer up your home by reenacting nature’s liveliness in the interior. Create an accent wall in your bedroom by decorating it with floral wall art. Place good-quality artificial floral arrangements in some key places like the living room, kitchen, foyer, etc. Floral-printed pillows, colorful curtains, and one or two landscape paintings on the walls will bring the outdoor spirit inside the home.

Elevate Your Bedroom Decor

Your bed is the place where you spend a lot of time, especially during the winter months. So, updating your bedroom will give you the feeling that you are somewhere special. A canopy over the bed, engaging details on the ceiling, and a chic piece of artwork or a favorite poster above the headboard can elevate the décor of the room. A silk or embroidered bed runner will add a little touch of luxury in your bed.

Hope, these winter decor ideas will help you changing your home interior from something dreary to inviting and cheerful.
