You’re probably thinking about ways to decorate your house for the winter. You may not celebrate Christmas, but you’re tired of the greens and reds. Try something more tasteful. Avoid tackiness by using white, gold, or silver. Here are six simple DIY home decor projects you can do this winter to get some inspiration.
Bow Wreath
Why spend money on a wreath that nobody will notice when you can create your own? You will need a styrofoam or straw wreath form, some cheap bows, and hot glue. Haley, an established craft and decor blog, shows you how to make this decoration yourself in Design Improvised. The smaller bows should be glued to the sides of the wreath form, and the larger bows should be used for the front. This project can be completed in 30 minutes or less. You can store the bows in a box to use for winter festivals next year.
Painted Pinecones
Spray paint pinecones in gold or silver to create a variety of home decor. You can create beautiful pinecone ornaments for your Christmas tree or arrange the painted pinecones into a decorative dish to make a pinecone centerpiece. You can spray pinecones in faux snow paint or create a pinecone arrangement by leaving the pinecones attached to the branch. These home decor ideas are great because they’re inexpensive, and the possibilities are endless.
Add Color to Your Living Space
Better Homes and Gardens recommends adding some color to your room to brighten it up a bit. To add life to your home, use bold colors on your curtains or pillows. Don’t forget about the lighting. Candle holders are a great alternative to Christmas lights if you’re not a fan. Winter is a time of darkness, cold, and depression. We love to brighten up our homes and neighborhoods with color and sparkle. Even medical professionals are aware of how much light and color can affect our moods and well-being.
