Winter provides wonderful inspiration to style your interior with the trends of the season. From warm colours for your walls to accessories and window decorations that bring winter indoors, this season adds style to your home like no other.
Winter comes with warm and inviting colours, such as rich burgundy red, the warmth of ochre yellow and earthy brown tones. The season showcases nature at its finest, with vibrant colours outside beautifully reflected indoors.
These colours can bring a sense of cosiness and comfort, establishing a connection with the changing outdoor landscape. When combined with natural textures like wood and stone, these tones create a harmonious and tranquil atmosphere at home.
From the rug on your floor to the cushions on your sofa and that beautiful plant pot on the windowsill, bringing winter indoors can take many forms.
When it comes to window decorations, the trends lean towards versatility. Vertical blinds such as California blinds are not as dull and stiff as you might think; opt for textiles to create a modern and warm look. A blind for bedrooms is super useful for large modern windows, allowing enough daylight in winter with the necessary privacy. Take a look at these plisse shades for inspiration.
The key to tasteful styling lies in combining traditional elements with modern aesthetics.
Consider integrating classic furniture pieces with a contemporary twist like sideboards or modern takes on classic chairs. This creates a timeless yet fresh look that reflects both comfort and style.
Home is where the heart is, and in colder months we tend to spend more time indoors. This winter, try to make your indoor space even more personal.

No garden is complete without at least a few containers for seasonal color. I always specify locations for planters when I create a new landscape design, with the intention of keeping them filled in every season. Although many gardeners keep their containers filled with annuals in summer and cut greenery in winter, there is another option. Planting a dwarf evergreen that can remain in its pot for several seasons will provide structure and texture every month of the year.
Planting ginger is easy, but you have to do it properly and at the right time if you want to get a decent crop.
If you’re constantly tripping over wayward shoes in your entryway, battling piles of paperwork on your kitchen island, or stepping on LEGOs (ouch!), it’s easy to fall into the frustration a cluttered space can cause.

With winter approaching, the days are getting shorter and temperatures are falling fast. As we spend more time in the comfort of our homes, it’s always nice to get our spaces feeling extra cozy.
During the winter months many plants reveal subtle patterns, fine details, and a new range of colors that help us to see familiar beds and borders with fresh eyes. This is an excellent time to get outside, evaluate your garden’s bones, and make some plans for spring planting. In this episode Danielle, Carol, and their guest will explore some of the plants that fly a bit under the radar in winter months, but certainly deserve more attention. Do you have any of these underappreciated wonders in your landscape? If not, you may want to start digging holes as soon as the ground thaws to ensure that some of these unsung heroes get some well-deserved garden real estate. Will any of these winter beauties make it onto your wish list this year?
This time of year, it’s easy to succumb to the winter blues—which is especially true if you live somewhere that gets dark early.
Winter brings with it a unique charm, transforming our surroundings into a serene winter wonderland. While the traditional notion of barbecues may seem reserved for warmer months, the prospect of a winter BBQ adds a delightful twist to the culinary experience. Picture this: a snowy landscape, the crisp winter air, and the enticing aroma of grilling delicacies. Winter BBQs not only defy the norms but elevate the outdoor dining experience to new heights.
We are constantly aiming to make our homes smell welcoming and warm without being overpowering. This leads our cabinets to overflow with candle collections or a constant simmering pot always on the stovetop.
Anyone in search of planting ideas for their garden in the colder months is spoilt for choice when it comes to sources of inspiration. Up and down Britain there are sterling examples of gardens planted for winter interest: Cambridge University Botanic Garden boasts one of the earliest; Wakehurst Place is home to one of the more recent; then there’s Bodnant, Dunham Massey, the Savill Garden – the list goes on. One thing they have in common though is that they’re all quite large, and gardeners could be forgiven for feeling they need a separate ‘winter area’ or hefty acreage to create anything worthwhile in their own plots. Not so, says David Jordan, senior gardener at Anglesey Abbey, who cares for its well-known Winter Garden and has a host of winter plants to recommend that will easily integrate into your existing garden.
As the temperatures continue to drop outside, we will all be spending more and more time indoors. There are endless ways to make your home feel cozier for winter if you have some extra money to spend, but if you’re being mindful of your finances after the holidays, the task can feel a bit tricker. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
