Do you change out your bedding for winter? I don’t mean adding flannel sheets instead of cotton. I’m talking about totally changing out the look of your bed with a winter comforter or duvet, different pillows, etc. Yeah, I don’t either. But seeing all of the very cozy options that arrive in the holiday catalogs and magazines, got me thinking that changing out the bedding is a pretty easy thing that anyone could do for a quick and cozy update to their bedroom décor. Here’s a bedroom from my portfolio and an option for restyling it for winter.
This particular bedroom has a coastal sort of feel, so how would I change small things to make it look wintery and warm? Primary colors in the room are light blue/ aqua, deep warm brown and a sandy tan color. I’d add a solid, warm tan comforter and shams that have a stitched pattern that reminds me of a cable knit look. Accompany it with some buffalo check plaid and cable pillows, a touch of birch bark in the candles and an accent pillow along with a luxe faux fur throw. Complete the wintery look with a framed stag print. Light the fireplace and get cozy (but don’t leave it lit while you sleep because that’s a fire hazard and could potentially set your gorgeous new bedroom ablaze… but you knew that already).
