It’s the mood these days! We are all finally getting our lives back together, meeting family & friends, doing great work and looking at the future with hope. Plus, it’s that gorgeous time of the year – Diwali, Eid, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve…. all reasons to celebrate.

Which means you must have your home PARTY-READY and PRETTY. Now, imagine if you could also make it UNIQUE. DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE?

It’s possible. We have some ideas that will help you create an ambience that’s memorable and conversation starters. Read on!

Pumpkin Centrepiece

Who says Pumpkins are only for Halloween or for the West? Try out this new idea and enjoy your friends going “WOW”!!!

The showstopper on your dining table will be a hollowed-out pumpkin centrepiece. It gives a very warm and wintery feeling. Add diyas or tea lights and it will cast a lovely warm glow to the space. Add flowers, fresh or dried, for a more summery outlook and drive away the chills.

Vegetable Dyed Table Runner

Yes! Sounds simple? But how many Tie and Dye Table Runners have you seen in your life?

These pretty table runners have been handcrafted using a stencil cut out from freezer paper and vegetable dye using beets. Infact, you can even make it an art-project for your children or guests. You will need quite a bit of patience, but the end result is worth it as you can see!

Fringed Table Mats

Your grandmother probably had these on her table. Remember? Well, the retro look is back in fashion now! They add a touch of old-world charm to the table, don’t you agree?

Painted & Decorated Bottles

We love anything that’s upcycled! Instead of throwing out glass jars, especially ones that have interesting shapes, try painting them using matte acrylic paint and a flat brush. They make the most gorgeous vases for fresh cut flowers or dry flower arrangements. If you want to learn how, Visit SmitaDhall’sIndique Arts @ https://www.facebook.com/IndiqueArts

Is Your Home Festival ready?

Simple & easy home decor tips for you

When the wind cools, days get shorter, and the chilly evenings invite you to think about celebrations with family & friends, FESTIVE SEASON is here!

It’s that time of the year when you can flaunt those gorgeous aromatic candles, take out your finest silks, and splash color & sparkle to every corner of your dreams and your home.

When it comes to decorating the house for an Indian festival, there are manyways to keep your space looking warm and beautiful every day while providing a joyous ambience for your guests.

This Diwali, we provide you with a list of our most simple festive home décor tips that can make it easy to create a magical vibe indoors.

Placement is everything

While decorating your home for the festive season, it is important to focus on key areas that will instantly attract your guests and make your space lively and inviting.

Start from the entrance of your home. You can either decorate your entrance with quirky wall hangings mounted on the main door or border it with dainty streamers that strike the perfect balance of sophistication and fun. If you are living in a gated community, don’t forget to decorate your balcony with lights to stand out in the building, or better yet, decorate the corridor with your neighbours and light up the entire floor!

It is also a great idea to welcome your guests with traditional kolam designs drawn at the entrance with rice flour or chalk powder. You can add glamour by using colour powder to fill up the designs and placing miniature diyas in the corners.

Make the most of the festive sales

Come October and it rains sales across all the e-commerce stores in India.

Make the most of this opportunity and buy those home accessories you have been eyeing for long. From designer showpieces to that corner decorative, adding some trendy accessories will certainly add life to an otherwise dull room.

Buy a combination of a few small accessories that can be scattered around, along with one or two dramatic pieces that can work as a focal point.

Add colours

Diwali is all about colours and light. To bring in the festive mood, up the colour quotient in most of your dreams. From colourful bedding to decorative cushions, from royal curtains to rugs, replace the neutrals with bright, glittery reds, blues, and greens.

Bring out the old photos and get them nicely framed and place them on empty walls.

Don’t forget the rangoli for some beautiful blend of colours that will brighten up your doorway.

Create dramatic visual impact with designer ceilings

A designer ceiling can create a dramatic visual impact. From an array of designer ceilings to crazy chandeliers, you can have a festive makeover for your ceiling. If a chandelier seems like an expensive option, you can go for affordable choices like a paper lamp or Chinese lantern.

Go Indian with the curtains

Celebrate the finesse of Indian fabric and change your curtains for an immediate lift. A mix of Chanderi curtains with a decoration of raw silk can light up even the most boring houses. And the fact that they allow a whole more light is like a bonus. Make cushions covers from old silk sarees. And go even bolder – How about a raw silk table cloth, table mats and runners?

Light up traditions

Ditch the modern-day scented candles and opt for traditional diyas instead for a different experience.

Decorate the diyas on your own, and if you are missing the scent, add some scented oils to the diyas. Complete the look with LED string lights, and some bold-coloured statement lanterns. A mix of traditional and modern can make your house look wow and guests go aww.

Flowers and more

Marigolds are perfect for festive home decoration. The more the merrier! Use them to decorate the doors, staircases, balconies, and of course, the entryways. Add some rose, lotus and ‘bandanwar’ made up of mango leaves, and the house will speak of the festive spirit around.

A traditional bowl with a few jasmines and rose petals floating around near the doorway – pure heaven!

Unwrap those gifts from last year

Do you still have gifts from last year’s festive season lying around unwrapped? Perhaps, now is the time to unwrap and see what can be done with them. From finally using that dinner set that has been lying around for eternity to wrapping some of the gifts for recycling this year, nothing screams festival as much as an array of wrapped gifts lying around.

Decorate Temple

The pooja room/ temple are the most ideal location to decorate your home at Diwali. Laxmi pooja is the major part of Diwali and it takes place in a temple. You can decorate the temple with flower arrangements, such as roses, marigolds, and mogras. Write ‘ShubhLabh’ with KumKum on the white paper and keep it near the Lakshmi idol or photo.

Indulge in aromatherapy

Take your home interior-game up a notch by indulging in décor that caters to all the senses of your body. While making your home visually appealing, it is equally important to enhance it with a refreshing scent, lingering through the rooms and corridors. You can either opt for pretty potpourri bowls placed strategically in every room or use scented candles with a gorgeous candle stand to add an element of drama. Additionally, you can choose from a variety of fragrances – from aqua scents to floral perfumes – to refresh your mind, body and soul. Scented candles and potpourri can be placed in any room of your house, creating an aromatic envelope of love and warmth wherever you are. They also add to the look and feel of your home because of their elegant packaging and spectrum of colours. You can also try placing flat candles in a shallow bowl of water and watch the reflections dance with the flames.

Remember, whatever you do to decorate your home for the festive season should reflect your taste and style. Festivals are all about celebrations. Don’t get too stressed about decorating your home.

Just enjoy the whole process and make sure you are enjoying every bit of the festive season.

ACCENT DECORATIONS EVERY HOME NEEDS

Accents & decorations are an important part of creating a beautiful, welcoming, and personal home! Here are 13 accents/ decorations EVERY home needs. Make sure you use all the decor accessories on today’s list in your home! A must-read!

How about a few TRAYS?

We LOVE trays! They can be used to serve food, use as a bed tray, stash books and magazines in, and more! They are our favourite home decor accessory because they are so versatile!

My favourite way to use trays is to create pretty themes in them! Right now I have one tray with shells in my living room, a tray of flowers in the dining room, and gorgeous tray of candles in my drawing room.

Candles, Candle Holders, Tea Lights and Lanterns

Candle and candlesticks are not just for late-night dinners. They are fabulous accents you can add to your decor to give your home a layer of WOW!

I like to add them to trays, put them in bookshelves or on side tables.

Candles add much needed height to our flat surface furnishings!

PILLOWS as accessories

Pillows are like room jewelry! Immediate shine and show.

They can be used on sofas, chairs, beds, and even peeking out of baskets.

Make sure you read A CASUAL PILLOW ARRANGEMENT YOU SHOULD TRY and 5 NO FAIL PILLOW ARRANGEMENTS. What an easy way to arrange pillows on a sofa!

Try THROWS for the winters

Throws add color, texture and so much “pretty”. Every room (except bathrooms and kitchens) needs the softness and fluff of a throw! Think of them as essential decor!

A little tip… use a throw over a chair, bed, and/or sofa you are not crazy about and it seems to make the offending furniture look far less offensive!

And a throw is a fabulous way to add an accent color! Choose throws with different weights, textures, and feel.

Here’s a pretty and helpful post about 6 WAYS TO STYLE A THROW

Vases and Planters are essential in décor

So many types to choose from – Small, tall, round, wide-mouth, glass, ceramic, and more! They are an important part of any home decorating!

Think beyond holding flowers and twigs and leaves. Yes, they are great at that but they can also stand alone as an object d’ art!

Collect a well-curated stash of vases to use in every room!

Bowls and Dishes for every room

Don’t overlook another fabulous collectible – dishware. Choose pretty decorative bowls or plates to add a bit of color to your room. Also, you can get a little wild and decorative dishware that does not necessarily blend into the rest of your decor, causing a bit of much needed visual tension in a room.

See how to make this PRETTY AND EASY CENTERPIECE using a gold tone bowl.

FLOWERS – Real and Faux

Flowers are gorgeous things and add immediate charm to a room. If you don’t have access to the real thing, think about finding a very realistic faux. Here’s my rule, if you cannot tell if something is real or faux from one foot away then the faux is fabulous! I love organic moss balls and use them to fill bowls for a pretty look! You can create them yourself and they are so easy to make. See the TEXTURED MOSS BALL DIY HERE.

MIRRORS add light and brightness

I think every room in your home deserves a mirror! They are magical, adding extra light and an artful element to any room.

We usually use large mirrors but forget small ones. And they can add so much interest to a wall or bookshelf!

Shape is very important when choosing a mirror. You might want to “mirror” shapes in your room. For example, if you have a round coffee table you might want to add a round mirror to the wall.

I particularly love mirrors grouped together on a wall. They fill up a wall like a big mirror and are so interesting!

We often don’t think of them as accent decorations for your home, but they are!

Accent LAMPS

We love love accent lamps. They are useful and add tons of beauty/ interest and height to a room!

Think floor lamps, table lamps, task lamps, accent lamps, and more!

Here’s my take on lighting. I don’t like to spend tons on this accessory. There are so many really well-made, designer-style lamps in the market today. But here’s where I will spend an extra Rupee or two… on the shade!

A cheap shade will give your accent lamp away! Spend a bit and get a great lampshade that is a little larger than you think you need.

DECORATIVE BASKETS & BOXES ARE A DECOR MUST

We must admit we have quite a weakness for baskets! They are full of texture and can be the best decor items to stash lots of things away and out of sight!

I use them to put pillows in and as a container for plants. There are so many uses for baskets!Go for baskets with interesting textures, designs, weaves, and shapes!

SMALL PICTURE FRAMES ARE DECOR ESSENTIALS

Family pictures in small and cute frames add so much warmth to the decor!

Pictures help you create memories of the growth and memorable times of your family.

There you go! Lots of home decor accessory ideas and lots of our favourites!

Use this post to look over every room in your home to see if you are taking advantage of these decor essentials and using them to create beauty in your home.

Drool-Worthy Living Rooms and Kitchens

Neighbor’s envy, owner’s pride. Remember this old Onida TV ad with the green devil? We all do.

These days Wagma’s mission is to build Instagram-worthy homes that cause the neighbors to turn green with envy, and the owner to swell with pride.

Let’s first tackle the Living Room (or Drawing Room as they are often called in India) and the Kitchen. What are the key attributes of a good design? How can we achieve aesthetics while maintaining functionality?

After all, a family spends the maximum time in these 2 spaces.

LIVING ROOMS

A living room is the soul of your home. That’s why you must never leave a stone unturned when it comes to living room decor. The thought of living room furniture and decor may overwhelm you but not if you put a plan together. From the paint, accessories, furniture to their arrangement — there are so many options to choose. You will never run out of options!

To make the process easier, you could start by identifying your decor preferences / styles – Modern, Classic, Traditional, Farm, Casual, Formal etc. For instance, for a modern living room, you will have to ensure a clean and mostly empty space with a few eye-catching accessories.

Take a look at these tips to explore useful ideas for living room furniture decor.

Arrange The Furniture Well

Often, we are stuck with a basic living room decor challenge — arranging the furniture. Not having a plan also adds to our misery. We end up randomly arranging the sofa or just placing chairs without fixing a spot.

Try a few different placements and arrangements, stand back and see the whole room in a wide view. And let each arrangement stand for a day to really feel how it looks.

Layer up the Living Room Decor with Rugs

Whether it’s winter or any other season of the year, the magic of rugs never dies down. Thanks to their plush prints, therapeutic textures and soul-soothing fabrics, they appeal to both homeowners and guests. Most importantly, rugs lift the vibe of your living room and reveal your taste.

On that note, get a rich rug, either custom-made or from your favorites art house, and see it unravel some magic right there in your living room.

Choose Statement Furniture

While you might choose a normal coffee table or ottoman for your living room, it wouldn’t have much of an impact. We suggest choosing a rather abstract coffee table and a piece of contemporary side furniture that breaks the monotony of your living room.

Throw Some Bold Contrast into the Furniture

Want to do something different in your living room? Break the theme. Place a modern, plush wing chair or set up indie wallpaper in the background to revitalize your living room. Go Bold.

KITCHENS

Any Indian home you visit, the kitchen is the centre of creation – Food, Beauty, Health, Joy and Nurturing.

Our kitchens are where we cook, eat, entertain and socialise, so it’s important to create a kitchen design that ticks all these boxes – and more. For a busy family home, a fitted kitchen is a bespoke solution that will offer fantastic functionality and streamline the space to make the most of every inch. Renovating a kitchen is a smart bet for increasing the value of your home, so that beautiful kitchen island could turn into a great investment for the future.

Colors – A Powerful Tool in Interior Design

Colour psychology is used widely in branding and marketing but it is also a powerful interior design tool that has more impact on the mood of a room than any other factor.

Have you ever wondered why you feel so energised after stepping into a royal purple room scheme or so peaceful when in a beautifully neutral living space? It’s because of colour psychology in interior design, closely connecting colour to our emotions and feelings.

Different shades conjure various emotions so when debating on which hues to choose for your home it’s key to think about the kind of atmosphere you want to create and which colour will help you achieve this.

Whether you’re looking to add occasional bursts of colour or decorate your entire room from top to bottom, discover the emotional effects of colour in interior design in our round-up of colourful projects below.

But before that, let’s have some fun with color. What do we think of or how do we feel when we see a particular color?

White – Purity

Black – Authority

Pink – Love

Red – Love, romance, energy

Yellow – Happiness

Blue – Calmness

Green – Nature, money

Grey – Practical

Orange – Enthusiasm

Purple – Royalty

Brown – Stability

PINK

Terribly underused as a colour only to be used for little girls’ rooms, pink is a delicate hue which speaks of nurture, love and femininity. It’s tones are comforting making it a favourite for bedrooms, but it can easily be transferred to living room schemes if executed well. Give the colour a chance by opting for refreshing patterns and classic yet fuss-free furniture shapes.

BLUE

Blue is one of the strongest hues of the colour spectrum. Deep, bold hues, such as navy and royal blue, are great for evoking confidence and are associated with admirable qualities such as loyalty, trust, peace and success.

Lighter shades of the colour install a feeling of calm and tranquility at home which makes them great for bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces where you want to relax.

BLACK

Black is the go-to colour of all time in all aspects of life. Whether you don’t know what to wear or what colour of furniture to opt for, black’s neutrality gives it a fail-safe quality and promises sophistication.

It’s a proven accent colour but when used heavily in a room scheme, the psychology of this colour results in power, drama and mystery.

PURPLE

Purple is ROYAL. It looks right at home in feminine spaces, such as a pretty bedroom scheme, but deeper versions of the hue can also be incredibly masculine.

It also suggests luxury. Think about using it in a dressing room to create a truly special getting-ready destination or let it take over your entrance hallway to impress guests at the first opportunity.

YELLOW

It’s no surprise that yellow is connected with joy, optimism and energy. Whether it’s mustard, lemon or baby yellow, the hue is always unmistakably vibrant.

Playful yellow shades make a perfect match for children’s bedrooms and nurseries, but the colour can also be grown-up and works in practically any room you want it to.

Like so many bright tones, it can be tricky to make work in a room from top to bottom, but statement yellow furniture and bold yellow accessories make for beautiful styling.

Stick with golden shades and utilise the colour in darkened areas of your home to bring a feeling of light and space into action.

GREEN

Green is an extremely positive hue as it reminds of balance and growth. It immediately brings the natural world to mind and it’s an incredible way to bring a refreshing nature indoors, especially if your home is located in a city with little surrounding greenery.

The hue comes in a variety of attractive shades, ranging from emerald and jade to olive and lime. It makes an ideal wall colour in spaces where you need to open your mind such as kitchens and home studies, and, as it’s closely linked to money, it’s a sensible choice for business properties.

GREY

Grey is a versatile colour that can take on a range of personalities. This colour denotes security, intelligence and solidity.

It also adds a feeling of calm and composure—a quality that’s ideal for family homes with excitable children. It can be soft and delicate or strong and confident.

RED

Red is one of the most dramatic hues in the colouring book and one of the most enticing colours when it comes to rousing emotions. It’s often coupled with sentiments such as passion, excitement and energy.

Red can be a productive choice for home offices and creative spaces.

Red has many sister forms including tomato red, crimson and burgundy. Play around with red, It’s fun.

Aesthetics vs. Function

What is the purpose of interior design?

A good interior design gets made when the home-owners are not merely trying to impress the neighbours, but rather, when they are hoping to improve their quality of life. A good interior designer understands this and values this vision.

The purpose of interior design is to ensure that a home or office will fulfil its purpose; i.e., that a home is liveable & comfortable and that an office is a good place to work.

Interior design, of any design for that matter, has two components – function and aesthetics. Problems arise when these two most important components are given unequal weight and focus.

Design is responsible for keeping the viewer’s attention. Functionality, on the other hand, is responsible for keeping the viewer.

The interplay of Function (utility) and Aesthetics (beauty)

Both these components bring different things to be table; sometimes complementary and sometimes not. Their interplay is a fine balance. It’s really an art! When this balance tips in favour of aesthetics, qualities such as comfort and ergonomics may be compromised. Then again, when the balance tips in favour of utility, comfort and liveability become dominant with little regard for beauty and style.

A professional interior designer is a fine juggler who balances beauty with utility in a manner that creates poetry from cement and brick.

What is Function? Capable of serving the key purpose well.

For example – A poorly designed house may be reasonably large but it may not provide the occupants with the space they need. On the other hand, a small apartment may be transformed into a home with adequate space for virtually all the functions required by its occupants.

What is Aesthetics? This is the area of interior design that focuses on beauty and taste.

(or what everyone thinks is fun stuff)

Beauty comes from elements like a design theme, colours, paints, textures, art, balance, and symmetry to provide a stunning appearance. Ideally, this aesthetic quality should match the purpose and function of each room/ space. E.g., the appearance of the living room should enhance relaxation, the bedroom design should enhance rest and good sleep, while the home office area should enhance creative thinking and productivity. (Source – HomeyImprovements.com)

So, the general belief that aesthetics are not important is incorrect. Aesthetics do still have a fundamental importance.

So, who wins?

Beauty without utility is wasteful. Utility without beauty is boring.

What’s worse? A home that fulfils all your needs but is ugly? Or a home that’s beautiful but uncomfortable to live in?

A balance of the two is required for a successful product. However, I firmly believe that ‘Beauty follows Utility’. Both should be balanced, while communicating the main function correctly.

We usually see 3 different types of clients in our work.

☆ The first type of people are well-travelled & understand the importance of utility but also want beauty in their homes.

☆ The 2^nd type are heavily focused on beauty, not very concerned with utility. They leave that part to us.

☆ The 3^rd type are rare and very trusting people, who leave the entire decision making to us.

In all three cases, it falls on us to create this fine balance I spoke about. I would like to tell you about a project we are currently doing in South City 1, Gurgaon, India. The SINGH VILLA. The Singhs are a large family. They came to us with a house-layout already made. The layout they had included some utilities but made the spaces look too small & cluttered.

The Singhs asked us to do the challenging task of

Make the spaces clutter-free and open
Provide all utilities, even some missing ones
Be beautiful and pleasing to the eye

The missing utilities were these -Master Bedroom & son’s room had no seating, parents’ washroom needed to be comfortable so that the senior citizens could use it easily.

Here are some clever design ideas we implemented to make the above tasks happen!

☆ To make rooms look bigger – we expand window sizes.
☆ To make space available – we used only sleek furniture.
☆ Colors – We moved towards neutrals with accents, to create a feeling of space.
☆ We used door colors such that they flushed with walls, so that walls look bigger & wider.
☆ We gave storage spaces within walls to save space.
☆ We provided large counter tops in washrooms so that we could use large mirrors (to give a feeling of space), get hidden storage Space under counters, and more utility space on top of counters.
☆ We used reflective surfaces (glossy tiles, cabinets) to add a feeling of more space

Door flushed with wall

Large Windows

Making spaces seem larger

Neutral colors to make space seem larger scaled

Sleek furniture

Sleek space saving furniture

Storage within walls

In other words, one does not have to sacrifice comfort for beauty; operation for appearance; or tranquility for taste. In fact, for the best interior designers, the elements of interior design are used only to enhance both function and aesthetics in every project.

How to Hire The Best Interior Designers in Delhi NCR For Your Home Decor

The Best Commercial Interior Designers in Delhi NCR, Wagma Designs is considered among Top Residential Interior Design Company in Delhi owing to its quality Office Interior Design services, winning designing strategies. Our extensive Design experience and dedicated team of Professional Interior Decorators make us well poised to emerge as the Famous Home Office Interior Designers in Delhi NCR!

A lot of times, we cannot afford the Best Interior Designers in Delhi NCR to do the interior of our homes. That is when the owners of the house take up the challenge and plan to do the decor of the house themselves. If the truth be told, if you are on the creative side, then doing the interior decor of your home all by yourself is not a hard task. However, if you are not very creative but still short of funds, you may need little external help to ensure the task is done right.

So, what exactly should be done if you are really low on the budget?

Firstly, you need to give your room a good look and analyze what are the things that you honestly want to change. Is it just a single room or is it the entire house right from the scratch? If it is just a single room, the task is going to be easier and you can carry it out all on your own. However, in case you feel that your entire place looks worn out and needs a fresh look then you may think on hiring some freelancer or an Interior Design Company in Delhi NCR to help you with the job.

Secondly, you need to know that there are two different types of Residential Interior Designers in Delhi NCR . One are those who do the designing of the home all by themselves and the other who just make a map or a layout of the things that need to be changed and then leave the execution to you. So, in the second type, you will be given a layout, backed with a few budget friendly suggestions. However, the designer will not personally come to supervise or do the job. All of that needs to be done on your own. Such designers charge a very minimal and an affordable fee. So, for those low on budget and wanting to do the decor right from the scratch there is no better solution than this.

Even after you have a plan all laid out, some of you may be able to do it all on the own while others may still require help. For that you can hire some daily wagers and you can yourself do the supervision based on the plan. Interesting, isn’t it? Why don’t you give it a try right away?

Happy decorating and renovating.

5 tips to keep your home cozy this winters

This is the season to exchange all your warm-weather linen and furniture for one that is far more appropriate for the colder months. You might love your light and airy fabrics, but you’ll be reaching for something to make your room feel comfortable when the first taste of winter rolls inside. There are a variety of functional and pretty options to make your home comfortable this season, from pillows and throws and plush warm fabrics to heaters and fireplaces.

There is absolutely no need for a full redesign of your furniture and décor, but we appreciate your loyalty to the seasons. Winterizing your home can be achieved without investing thousands of dollars per season on a renovation in just a few easy measures. Wagma Designs, Best Interior Design Company in Gurgaon has five steps you can take, all winter and year long, to keep your home cozy.

Get new bedding

Wagma Designs suggests that it can be as practical to adjust your bedding for the colder months as it can be a welcome cosmetic upgrade. You can swap your jet pillow covers for fluffy velvet covers and exchange your thin blanket for a smooth, silky faux fur jet that looks good all season long and keeps you warm. Switching color schemes can also improve. It can’t hurt a colder and darker range of covers, but most importantly, you need to think about your comforter. The thin quilt may have worked for the summer months, but winter is here. To keep you warm, upgrade to a down comforter that’s going to do all the work. This all-season award-winning version has a filling capacity of 700, which means it’s thick and fluffy enough to battle even the toughest winters.

Install Fireplace

Sometimes, the central heat just won’t cut it. Whether it’s a draught, it’s a lofty room, or you’re just particularly sensitive to the bite of winter, you might need a little extra to take the pressure off. A portable fireplace or heater is just going to do a trick. Although it’s not going to replace the central system, it will easily warm up a small room and give you an open fire vibe of roasting chestnuts. Although your aesthetics will not be suited to a portable heater, this fireplace is definitely not. It looks like the fire is floating because of its sleek and sexy glass box style. Not only does this ventilated ethanol fireplace design provide a nice view of the blaze, but it also warms up space like a traditional fireplace would do. It’s self-contained, so wherever you go, the fireplace will follow you.

Add mood lighting

Not only does this trick work throughout the winter, but throughout the year. Switching up your lighting will make the room cozier immediately, no matter the outside temperature. There are almost infinite possibilities for generating this mood lighting. Although it may not be for you to keep your Christmas lights up all season long, you can still get the shine. The sophisticated option is to fire your twinkly lights into a cloche, but for something a little more lasting, the ideal solution is to swap your bulbs for warmer LED lights and get shaded lamps to create ambiance. This table lamp is a fantastic choice because it can be relocated at a moment’s notice from room to room, and the shade of the glass globe will help give off the perfect amount of light. For the season, the shiny copper base also gives it a festive touch.

Build a cozy little nook.

This time of year, it is important to have a good place to curl up. You’ll need somewhere to bundle yourself up with your seasonal drink of choice and either the remote or a good book after coming in from the cold. A comfortable chair is the pillar of every good nook. In this faux boucle edition, Cocoon yourself. The fabric alone will have you wanting to nestle deep into this seat, and the back and curved arms of the supportive chair just add to the comfortable feeling. With a warm reading lamp above and with a warm faux fur throw and pillow, you can finish your nook. Even if you do not use this chair to create a separate nook, as an accent chair in a larger room, it will be a great addition.

Give warm look to the decor

Much like your clothes during the winter, layering your decor is a trendy and inexpensive way to create a whole new look. You can use your current furniture as a base and stack of accessories, ideally in this season, fabrics such as velvet and faux fur. Buying a bunch of new pillows and adding them to your existing set just makes it more lustrous and comfortable. You can do the same by tossing blankets and even candles to get the smell of the season blowing around you. One of the most modern ways to make this look happen is by layering rugs. This trendy concept positions the shag or higher-pile rug, generally in a smaller or different shape, on top of the lower-pile version. This time of year, make your top rug a shaggy sheepskin that adds texture and warmth to any room. It’s going to be like stepping into a Swiss chalet.

10 ways to decorate your home this festive season

To help the unique “New Year feeling” get quicker, make everything in your house look festive. Every winter we decorate our homes, wishing to give a new feeling to both ourselves and our loved ones. But you don’t have to run to the store for toys, candles, and garlands – you can create a holiday atmosphere with your own handmade decorations.

Decorate with Candles!

Dim the lights and arrange the candles around the house to make New Year’s Eve truly special. Feel free to make your own: use cans, flower pots, and cones; maybe even spice stuff with a few cinnamon sticks.

Try Handmade Stuff!

Try a homemade approach for Christmas decorations as well: use clay or playdough with the addition of felt or velvet, form and stitch a few simple toys. Don’t you want to sew? Not a concern, though. Glass balls and old light bulbs may also be made into ornaments. For this reason, cover the surface of a ball or a light bulb with glue and roll it into a plate full of glitter.

Fairy Lights

Fairy lights are guaranteed to create a festive atmosphere. They hang practically anywhere in the best atmosphere: on the stairs, the ceilings, the walls, and the shelves, along with the doors, and, of course, on your Christmas tree. You make plain garlands out of paper or foil.

Small Decoration Pieces

A miniature Christmas tree consisting of cones, buttons, lace, yarn, or colored stickers would be a lovely piece of decoration. Decorate it with sparkles, beads, and ribbons, and have tough competition for your fellow conifers.

Make Drawings

Don’t forget to decorate your windows with hand-drawn ‘made of snow’ designs. Cut out models using thick paper to do this. Mix the toothpaste with a pinch of water. Then, just put the toothpaste mixture on of template and stick it to the window.

Delicious Garlands

If you’re looking for a fresh, new way to decorate your home for the coming holidays, make fragrant ginger cookies. Don’t forget to make two tiny holes in each cookie with a straw before placing them in the oven. When your cookies are baked and cooled, loop the ribbon through the holes and treat your house to an initial edible garland.

A little Nostalgia

Don’t limit yourself to tinsel, garlands, and toys while decorating a Christmas tree. A few printed family pictures peeling out of the pine needles can make your holidays even more special to your family.

Fun for Kids

Don’t forget to make imaginative children’s New Year’s decorations! Simply fill in tiny glass jars with toys and miniature Christmas trees and add ‘snow’ (rice or cotton).

Warm and Cozy Ornaments

You can make a festive holiday decoration out of something. And, yes, it includes old scarves and jumpers. Closely wrap each Christmas ball ornament in woolen cloth, then tie the fabric at the base of each ball with a ribbon – that’s it! Hang and enjoy these little woolly guys around the house.

Welcome Decorations

Don’t forget the dinner table: start by adding a fancy table runner to your usual tablecloth. Basic linen napkins can be dressed up with a little sprig of evergreen or folded into a Christmas tree or a sweet snowman. Complete your table setting with scented candles and a centerpiece Christmas wreath.
