Hey Sarnia! Decorating your home for winter can be a true task after the Christmas Holidays. Looking for winter-themed decorations that don't shout Christmas, isn't always easy!  To help, Blue Coast Team has put together some tasteful tips, on post-Christmas winter decor.

1. Stay away from Green and Reds! Focus on White, Blue, Gold, and Silver!

Red and green are universal Christmas colours. Blue, silver, and white create a cooler atmosphere that portrays a cozy snowy feeling. Gold accents help create warmth throughout the chilly season.

2. Avoid Pine- Try other winter-inspired plants like eucalyptus! 

Eucalyptus plants can be transformed to fit any season! Replace the pine tree garland on your mantel with some eucalyptus leaves. You can dress it up with snowy lanterns, candles and a winter quote canvas! 

3.Throw Pillows & Blankets!

The perfect cure to the winter chill is BLANKETS! Drape your couches with fluffy or faux fur blankets and add the perfect accent pillows to winterfy your living room!

4. Candles!

Nothing makes a house feel more like a home than candles- especially during the winter! Pick out some winter inspired scented candles and place them around your home! You can use them for centerpieces on your coffee tables, dining room table, or side tables! The best thing about candles is the array of shapes, sizes, and colours they come in. Have fun with it!

5. Wall art & Canvases

A fun DIY project if that's your thing! Decorate your home with winter quotes and sayings. Choose colours from the 1st tip to stay away from creating Christmas decor.

Here are a few of our favs:

"Sweater Weather"

"If Kisses were Snowflakes, I'd Send you a Blizzard"

"Winter Wishes and Snowflake Kisses"

If Canvases aren't for you, you can put up winter themed wall art. It can be anywhere from a snowy night to abstract details using winter-themed colours.

We hope these tips helped you! If you are proud of your winter-inspired home send us a photo to be featured on our social media! We would love to hear from you! You can e-mail your photo's to info@bluecoastteam.com. Stay cozy this winter season!
