CHALET HOME DECOR

WINTER INTERIOR TREND

When you hit the slopes and Apres ski bars every Winter, your exquisite chalet becomes your temporary home and you fall in love with the rustic charm, which makes you feel instantly relaxed, comfortable, and immersed in your picturesque mountain surroundings. This Winter you may have to forget your annual vacation for a Winter spent in lockdown but you can bring the outdoors inside. Let’s recreate your winter vacation aesthetic and bring it into your home.

The chalet interior design is elegant yet extremely cosy, we breakdown the key style elements to consider and transform your home for the winter season. Add warmth with poise and elegance to uplift your environment and mood. From the perfect winter inspired hallway, to cosy corners, warm textures and wood finishes, curate your very own personal winter retreat, you won’t want to depart.

A WINTER ENTRANCE

We can update our home with a winter palette of elegant metallics, ceramics and glass elements -  simple and small touches can make a big difference. The best place to start is in the hallway by styling the mantelpiece with beautiful seasonal accessories.Use an abundant compilation of gold and silver candles with woody & spicy aromas, white & cream ceramic bowls for keys and vintage glass vases of varying sizes to display dried flowers. Add rustic wall lights in bronze for added warmth and tone, one on each side of the wall, to add grandeur upon entrance of the home. A metallic glint, a sense of warmth and the flickering of candlelight will be sure to create the illusion of an idyllic winter staycation.

THE COSY CORNER

Cosset in oversized, soft and sumptuous curves this Winter...leather is out and linen is in. Opt for a mix of comfortable textures from velvet and cotton sofas, to armchairs and ottomans. Display fur or cashmere throws and felt or wool cushions to champion the dreamy seating arrangement. During the colder months, and especially as we are spending more time indoors, truly transform the living space into a place of calm and relaxation...the ultimate personal Winter retreat. As we enter into 2021, the living space has proven to become multi-functional _ - doubling up as a home office, our gym and pop-up bar, therefore investing in extra large seating can also offer well hidden storage space, without disrupting the living room aesthetic.

WARM TEXTURES

Throughout the house ensure each room has hints of warm textures to embrace the Winter feeling. For the bedroom use natural wood frames, cabinets and shelves paired with cotton or linen throws and pillows in muted colours from whites, creams and greys, can all work in synergy to enhance the winter ambience of the room. Research shows that a neutral colour palette can even increase serotonin levels in the brain, boosting positive thoughts and productivity. For the living room continue to embrace wood and soft furnishings and inject black with lighting and furniture legs for a subtle, modern contrast. For the kitchen add rustic gold handles to the cabinets to add smoothness and a soft rug to keep those winter toes warm on cold tiles. Wooden stools and countertops also work wonders to ooze warmth and character.

INTO THE WOODS

Bring the winter countryside inside to offer a sense of pure escapism. Exposed wood combined with soft furnishings can make for a beautiful and cozy winter night. Wood is fundamentally the epitome of a natural material commonly used in interior design for its universal and timeless appeal. The texture of wood can vary widely, offering a unique and diverse material to use within the home, to add warmth and coziness. For a contemporary wood furnishing combination, pair wood with metal to add a desirable industrial finish or pair wood with glass for an elegant finish.
