While you’re stuck in your home this winter, whether it be by choice or from mother nature, why not make it beautiful. These cool home decor finds will help warm up your space and help create that perfect, cozy and inviting feel. Pale pastels mixed with deep, jewel tones is always my favorite winter, color combo. Dopamine decor doesn’t always have to be bright neon or bold, primary colors. It’s simply about the feeling and yes, color is involved, but opting for a rich, emerald green mixed with pale pink, can also do the trick. As long as your space makes you happy and If having a perfectly styled, badass tiger on your wall puts a smile on your face, like it does mine, then that’s a job well done.
The only style trend I subscribe to when it comes to interior design and home decor is “cozy vibes”. Sure, carpeted bathrooms in the 70’s will always be out, but home design should simply reflect your personality. Adding to your space, is something we do a lot, but creating a space based strictly on trends is where I call bullshit. Incorporating an item or two, that can be swapped out when you’re sick of it is fine, but don’t be pusuedd by some famous interior designer claiming that your style sucks unless you have that certain piece in your space. We don’t change our home as often as we change our clothes, so as long as you like it, that’s all that matters.
And for the love of all things holy, YES- IT IS OK to mix patterns! Please do. Pair jungle vibes with stripes or flirty florals with geometric shapes. Whether you are all about patterns, with a more maximalist style or a more minimalist approach, with a just a couple of patterned throw pillows, mix and match as your heart desires.
Interior design is simple. Your space should be filled with pieces that make you feel good, and a healthy balance of old and new is always ideal. Those new, colorful, scalloped glasses sitting on top of your grandmother’s old nostalgic dresser turned bar, is the perfect combo of contemporary cool meets vintage vibes. Cheers!
