‘Tis the season for taking down the holiday decorations, right? Unless, you’re like me and enjoy embracing the icy hues of winter. After all, it can be a dark, dreary time of year, and sometimes taking down the decorations just makes it all the more depressing… but that doesn’t have to be the case inside of your home. Here are a few examples of easy, bright, wintry decorating ideas from my own home that can easily stay up until St. Patrick’s Day!
White lights intertwine with sparkly white garland in the window, while ornaments perch in and around some sedum I saved in a terra cotta pot from this summer. Icy shades of silver, white, and teal are perfectly suited for wintertime and don’t necessarily scream “Christmas.” The wreath hangs in the window all year and I just change out the accessories on it.
Here is a daytime view of the same window. My family room has a “beachy” theme and these colors work well even through the holidays.
In the living room, a giant Chinese dough bowl holds an assortment of wintry picks, ornaments, and my absolute favorite: a large glittered pinecone. This year, my goal was to decorate without any red, so the transition from Christmas decorations to Winter decorations that could stay up after the holidays would be easy.
Some views in the daylight:
As you can see, the dough bowl is very large, but to achieve the same look you don’t need the exact same thing. Instead, you could use an elongated basket, wooden box, or ceramic planter.
I really love this pinecone.
Happy Winter!
