A new year has begun, and with it comes a lot of changes. Besides, with the sales period getting underway, we can't help but think about getting hold of all those clothes we haven't managed to get hold of during the season and give ourselves a touch of fresh air. But what about your home? It also likes to be up to date with the winter trends, and you don't need to get involved in major renovations to make it look like a different one.

Here are a few tips to help you make the most of these sales so that both you and your home are "on point". That said, before you start shopping, we recommend that you prepare a list of what you really need and set yourself a budget so that you don't splurge.

COLOURS

They range from autumn oranges, mustards, greens, reds and yellows to the scale of greys, blues, whites and browns so typical of winter. The trick is to reproduce at home the chromatic degradation that nature undergoes during these months.

They range from the oranges, mustards, greens, reds and yellows typical of autumn to the scale of greys, blues, whites and browns so typical of winter.

These tones can be perfectly applied to walls, but if you want a more instant change that will only last this time of year, you should use them on furniture or decorative elements. Try changing the cushions or bed linen, ¡see what effect!

ENVIRONMENT AND LIGHTING

Nature has a material par excellence which is wood, for its warm connotations, for its particular texture, for showing the passage of time in its own wear and tear.... You can choose to include some element or piece of wood, either classic or modern style; or you can also dare to cover a wall with wooden slats.In this line, rustic furniture, typical of mountain homes, will also enhance the look of a cold-weather home.

If you are lucky enough to have a chimney, its presence alone will warmly decorate your home in winter. Of course, don't hesitate to fan its spark as the sight of the fire burning, and the very heat it gives off, warms the house completely. 

If you are lucky enough to have a fireplace, its presence alone decorates in winter with warmth.

In the absence of a fireplace… ¡light the candles! Their illumination is warm and the sight of the flame evokes blanket and sofa sessions in front of a fire. In addition, you will feel a greater sense of warmth if you include elements such as leaves or fruits that nature gives us directly, such as walnuts, chestnuts, olive leaves, and much more.

DECORATIVE

Last but not least, if you want your home to be wrapped in warmth from the moment you walk in the door, there are some elements that are essential to achieve this effect.

This is undoubtedly one of the seasons in which we can play the most with the fabrics in our home linen. We say goodbye to cotton and linen, welcoming wool and knitwear. The cashmere or the blankets made from XXL knitwear are taking the house by storm. They are perfect for placing over the foot of the bed for decorative purposes.

Cover the floor in winter with rugs. It's comfortable to walk on, visually it gives warmth but, in addition, it protects the floor from the cold.

Hint: this year we're invited to do it with long, thick pile rugs.

And, as we said, sofa and movie evenings are a classic of the winter season, so blankets and plaids must accompany our living rooms. ¡No fear! Not one, not two. Several. So that everyone can throw one over themselves. You can have them in a basket next to the sofa or casually lying on any seat.
