You don’t need to do crazy, dull, or haunting things to winterize your home or deck, instead, be a little creative and make this space beautiful, comfortable, and ready for the cold season. While we are still waiting for summer to truly start here in the UK it’s never too late to start planning for seasons ahead. You can do a little winter home prep work to winterize your living space, assisting it in becoming warmer and more stylish and ready for the cooler season. These ideas will allow you to get it all prepped for winter and add some style to boot.
1) TOP TIPS TO STAYING WARM
Most people first winterize their house by making it warm. Good insulation is crucial to maintain and control the temperature level of your living interior. If you have drafts, determine where they are entering around your windows and doors, and use weatherstripping or caulk to seal the gaps.
Putting more insulation in your attic and walls will help keep in the heat and keep out the cold, too. Why not add heavy-lined drapes to your windows to keep your rooms warmer and help with the energy costs simultaneously?
2) UPGRADE YOUR DECK OR PATIO
Because the latest decks and patios are made from wood and come in contact with the outside environment. Make sure to clear out the leaves and other junk as they will rot and create mould or mildew.
Preservatives can protect the wood from harsh weather, like sealing wooden sheds and checking to see if they need any repairs. You could consider things like string lights, or even a cozy outdoor rug to create an inviting atmosphere.
3) UPDATE YOUR WINTER DECOR
Before the holiday season even arrives, give the inside of your home a modern look for a bright white wonderland! You can make your interior both warm and cheerful with stylish winter decorations.
Everyone wants to be home in winter, so make it warm with little, comfortable touches– furry rugs, flannel blankets, poof cushions, and knitted throws. Soft colours, like red, wine, chocolate, and beige, create a quiet colour palette for the cool winter months.
4) EXPLORE YOUR HOBBIES
Prepare for the fun of practising hobbies indoors with family or friends. Establish a designated space for indoor hobbies. For instance, curl up and read a good book in a reading nook.
When developing winter outdoor activities, if you intend to carry on with them, it is preferable to prepare in the same way as children do when Santa Claus arrives. Store essentials such as a snow shovel, melting salt to clear the ice, a roof rake, and a safe place to put the snowblower drip tray.
5) TWEAK YOUR SPACE
Decorate outside with a few creative winter ideas that enhance holiday experiences while creating that charming feeling of walking in a winter wonderland. Hide the pumpkins, it’s winter, or bring a little atmosphere into a plain old outside table with a few all-natural decorations.
Make your space functional but also seasonal enthusiastic by decorating your home while preventing the couch from being pushed back into the wall to maximize your space.
By doing these things, you can make your home not just well dressed but also in a fashionable, high quality and highly functional mood that sets the stage for adding a few layers of comfort once said temperatures drop. For those who want to keep their space stylish and eye-catching during the winter, a cup of hot drink, some unique decorations, and a supportive story help the last days of winter pass quickly.
