This season, it’s time to add some upgrades to your living space. But, as we go online to research new interior styles, we may start to feel overwhelmed, where to start?

We’re here with the best updates for this winter to make your home feel like new with just a few simple changes.

When looking to upgrade elements of your interior for a beautiful home, you first need to assess the lighting. The way light hits a room can dramatically change the mood of the space, and if you’re still stuck with heavy curtains, your room will start to feel dated and the lighting will be disrupted by the shadow of the bulky material. .

Instead, opt for something like roller shutters. This stylish alternative can be modified to let as much or as little light into your home as you want. They are less likely to date due to their minimalist appearance and can be perfectly adapted to any space.

Alternatively, for a similar effect, look in the panes; it gives a similar result in that you can change the amount of light that enters each room, and they give a sleek, dateless finish to your home.

In addition to the type of blinds or curtains you choose for your home, it is also important to consider artificial lighting. As the lighting you put in your home will directly affect the mood of it.

For cool winters, change your globes from harsh, bright white light to soft, warm golden light, this will create a feeling of privacy and comfort.

Choosing floor lamps that double as decoration is also a fantastic option as it gives an element of interest to the style of your home while allowing you to add luminescence to your home without needing to turn on ceiling lights. It feels more comfortable and welcoming.

With the temperatures dropping, it’s time to add color and sparkle to your home’s theme. While classic egg whites and eggshells add tasteful elegance to the home, why not try something more playful and full of personality this fall/winter season?

Pull out a page from the 70s with a funky patterned wallpaper. It will make your home more unique and turn it into a place where you actually want to spend all your time.

Cozy up in oversized bean bag chairs, originally found in the 70s, but can be found today reimagined for the modern age; or maybe if you’re feeling bold, grab a shag rug to sink your heels into after a long day – the bolder the color the better.

If you’re looking for something a little less dynamic but still fun, go back a decade to the sixties.

Here you can find bohemian-chic inspiration for your home. Inject the perfect blend of classic and modern with wood paneling, a 60s staple that is now a modern mainstay.

Or, if you want to venture a little more, add a bar cart to your home. Both an interior and a usable accessory for your home, the barcart originated in the 60s and can be found nowadays in funky colors and materials at various price points.

A really fun way to introduce color into your home this season is to color block.

Color blocking can be as vibrant or understated as you feel comfortable with and is sure to be the envy of those around you with incredibly interesting interior styling.

Going for contrasting colors like navy and orange looks amazing and brings a bit of playfulness back into an adult space.

Start small with a feature wall if you’re a little apprehensive about how colors will look in your space. Once you’re feeling a little braver, add more colors to different rooms, bonus points if there’s no overlapping shades.

Do you want to add life to your home, literally? Then it’s time to bring in an army of houseplants. Indoor plants are the ultimate way to add color, life, and a point of focus to a space, all in one.

They break up heavy interiors and bring the outdoors inside. Additionally, there are a plethora of different types and different levels of maintenance to choose from. Are you a serial plant killer? Then, cover your house with fresh, low-maintenance cacti or succulents.

If you’re looking for a plant to satisfy your maternal instincts or your art-deco tastes, then Monstera is for you. Resembling a Swiss cheese, this plant is uniquely beautiful and will add a focal point to any home.

An incredibly simple way to make your home even more stylish without spending a single penny is to declutter your space.

We’re all guilty of adding too many trinkets to the house, whether it’s because they’re sentimental, from a friend, or simply forgotten. And then there’s the addition of old cords from our technology lying around, books, papers, and little bits that you can throw away or put away.

Decluttering your home makes everything left out all the more useful and interesting. You’ll barely recognize your home when you’re done.

Old finishes are a telltale sign of a home that needs a helping hand. It could be old doorknobs that no longer match the style of the house or peeling paint along the baseboards.

So grab that brush or head to the store, it’s time to fix those little touches. Door handles that match the overall interior style look much more cohesive.

You might not even notice it consciously, but it’s a sign of good finishes, it’s only a problem if you start noticing them like a sore thumb.

On top of that, the devil is in the details, so if your details aren’t up to par, the whole house loses a bit of its style. By correcting these aspects, your friends and family will say “wow”.

Home is where the heart is, so why not make your home beautiful and stylish this season? Add some cool light and a plant or two, or perhaps paint a wall and fix a finish for a fabulous space you want to spend those chilly evenings in.
