By As the days grow shorter and the evenings turn cooler, it’s the perfect time to maximise natural light and create a feeling of warmth in your home. Palesa Ramaisa, Dulux Colour Expert, shares tips on how to brighten up your space and add a cosy touch to your space this winter:
Bring the sunshine in
Colour plays a crucial role in creating a mood in any room, and this season we want to create a mood that is warm and inviting. Bring the sunshine in by painting an accent wall with light terracotta or yellows – a sunny hue can brighten and warm a dark space.
Warmer curtains
Replace your summer sheers with thermal-lined curtains to keep warm air inside and prevent the cold air from seeping through the glass. Curtains with warmer, thicker threads will create an inviting atmosphere in your space.
Create cosy comfort with cushions and throws
Want to create a comfortable and inviting space? Layering a few cushions and throws is a simple yet effective way to add warmth and texture to any room. Plush cushions provide softness and support, while throws add an extra layer of comfort, perfect for those chilly evenings. These accessories can help transform the ambience of any living space and are easily adaptable to fit seasonal themes or personal tastes. The choice of colours and patterns showcases personal style, but bright colour cushions can bring warmth and vibrancy to your interior this autumn.
Lighting
Winter often brings darker weather; use layered lighting such as table lamps, floor lamps, and candles throughout your house to enhance the mood and add a cosy glow. Incorporate light at various heights and angles to create a warm and inviting environment. Keep your curtains open to let in natural light and refresh your lampshades with brighter tones this autumn to enhance lighting in your home.
