STYLE YOUR SPACE ADVERTISING FEATURE
The chilly weather has settled right across the country, and for people and families in the Hauraki-Coromandel – there’s nowhere else quite as warm and cosy as home.
In this edition of Style your Space in The Valley Profile, we want to highlight just how simple it can be to revamp your house into a warm, inviting retreat with winter styling.
One of the easiest ways to create a cosy feel is through layering. Adding soft throws, textured cushions and fluffy rugs can immediately increase comfort and help make any room feel warmer.
Think wool, merino and cotton for natural fibres that can offer that snug feeling.
Something that can play a crucial role during winter is lighting. With the daylight hours reduced, table lamps, floor lamps and bulbs with warm tones can create a more relaxing environment for afternoons and evenings filled with reading, chatting or curling up on the couch with a blanket to watch a movie.
Candles are another soft touch to add to family gatherings in the living and dining areas.
It’s also the perfect time to introduce richer colours such as deep greens, earthy browns, charcoal greys and warm terracotta blends to add to the winter mood. Those shades of colour work well through accessories such as candle holders, fruit bowls, coffee coasters, artwork and soft furnishings such as throws or cushions.
It’s not a bad idea to think about switching to heavier and thicker curtains to help retain the heat.
Making sure furniture is placed in a good position will also help to maximise the warmth from fireplaces and heat pumps too.
These simple steps can help people across Hauraki-Coromandel to make their homes not only warm and toasty for the coldest months of the year, but also stylish and welcoming whenever they arrive home.
