How to Add Colour to Your Home this Winter

Winter in the UK is a dreary time of year and many homeowners often look for ways to brighten up their homes and keep their spirits high. Adding elements of colour throughout your property is a great way to achieve this, regardless of whether you live in a studio apartment or a large farmhouse in the countryside. While some homeowners prefer to go big with a bright feature wall, others prefer to keep things simple and just add some colour soft furnishings. It’s entirely down to personal taste and there is no right or wrong answer. Hopefully, the following ideas will give you some inspiration. 

Framed art is an affordable way to add colour throughout a property and create a kind of theme running through each room, particularly if you choose the same artist. Try and go for something that suits the rest of your home, as a modern funky piece might not complement a traditional house. On the other hand, some people like to create contrasts, but just be careful not to go overboard. 

As mentioned above, another way to add colour to your property is through soft furnishings, like sofa cushions, rugs, blankets and curtains. Avoid going overboard with just one colour though, as this can be quite garish. Instead, try and introduce two or three different tones.

If you’re looking for a more dramatic change, why not consider installing a stained glass window? These are a really beautiful way to make a statement and ensure your house stands out on the street. They’re also great for adding an element of privacy. For example, if you currently have a clear glass panel in your front door, it’s easy for nosy neighbours and passers-by to glance into your house. A stained glass panel in its place will prevent this from happening, while ensure there are lots of colours dancing through your hallway.
