We'll show you ideas on how you can create a subtle yet stylish decoration for January, February and March yourself. Beautify your home with natural materials, lanterns and lanterns in Hygge style.
Make your own decorations for January: restrained and tasteful
In the first arrangement, textiles play the main role. A faux fur stool cover, a cozy knitted bedspread and a shaggy rug in neutral gray and powder tones form the perfect backdrop for the macrame winter decoration to hang. TwoChristmas trees in potsadd a natural touch and a string of lights brings just the right amount of glamor to the room.
Decoration in January: lanterns in a frost look
Two scented candles andseveral lanternsin a frost look: sometimes that's all you need to bring a touch of coziness into your own four walls. Our tip: The ensemble looks particularly charming if you group lanterns of different heights together. Then spray them with frost spray to give the appearance of frosted glass. The dim light from the candles relaxes the eyes and creates a pleasant atmosphere.
Alternatively, you can marble the lanterns or paint them with a dark color and then partially wipe or smear the paint with a damp cloth. This creates an attractive vintage look. A natural winter decoration made from cypress branches and pears goes perfectly with this.
Winter decoration in January: accent lighting for the cozy seating area in the living room
It's not just candles that spreadHygge-Feelingwithin your own four walls. Fairy lights also emit soft light and can create a cozy ambience. It looks particularly beautiful when the fairy lights are not hung up, but casually draped on the floor between decorative cushions, a long-floor rug and soft, patterned knit plaid. The end result is a cozy reading corner that increases the feel-good factor in the cold winter months of January and February. Exactly in the Danish Hygge style, where coziness is very important. The exciting combination of different materials with a beautiful feel is what makes winter decoration so attractive.
Winter decoration after Christmas: Christmas tree in a sisal basket
Three pillar candles of different sizes, reindeer in white and a chain of lights that artfully connects the individual elements: one is readywinter decorationfor January and February. You can set stylish accents with a Christmas tree in a sisal basket. To ensure that the color matches the hygge chic, you can spray it with artificial snow spray. The ensemble is ready and you can leave it in the living room all winter long. Even more so - you can also find space for the living Christmas tree in the pot until it can be planted in the garden. But artificial trees can also be staged in this way, as long as they look deceptively real. Because the charm of Hygge decoration lies in its naturalness.
Winter decoration in January: table decorations on a tray
Christmas is long over and now the question arises: what to do with the Christmas house that until recently adorned the mantel or windowsill? It cuts a fine figure on a vintage tray, together with a lantern and a purist ceramic vase. This arrangement not only lasts a very long time - the decoration can stay on the table from January to March - but also allows for numerous designs. So you can display tree branches or cotton branches in the vase for decoration after New Year. At the beginning of spring you can display crocuses there.
Table decoration after Christmas: Puristic lanterns, pillar candles and Christmas tree decorations
A purist wintery oneDecoration for the living room after Christmas: Oversized glass lanterns with black metal frames. Pillar candles and delicate Christmas tree decorations can be perfectly displayed in it. In beautiful groups of three together with lanterns with stickers, you can turn the living room into a sea of lights. After the end of winter, you can gradually replace individual decorative elements with new ones.
Our tip: To ensure that the arrangement can fully develop its effect, you can also use cowhide as a chair or sofa cover. Fur creates an attractive contrast to the cool look of the glass lanterns.
Table decoration for January: Knitted tealight covers on a tray
When it comes to decorating after the Christmas season, it's all about the details. The Scandinavian and Hygge styles place a lot of emphasis on comfort. Textiles and knitwear in particular create the right atmosphere. Cozy hand-knitted bedspreads made of merino wool have become the epitome of cozy warmth. Perfect for this: tea lights with knitted covers provide a subdued light on dull winter days and perfectly underline the hygge living style. Arranged in groups on the coffee table on a tray or carefully distributed throughout the room: the lanterns perfectly convey the Scandinavian feeling of living. Our tip: Don't overdo it. Two or three cuddly accessories are okay. But if there are more, they make the room appear overloaded and chaotic.
Winter decoration after Christmas: DIY idea for wooden coasters
At the beginning of the new year at the latest, craft enthusiasts are asking themselves again: “How do you decorate in January?” What motifs can the accessories decorate? If you want to make decorations for January, you should stick to the basic rule “less is more”. Gone are the days of checked patterns, glittering Christmas balls and decorated Christmas trees. Instead, snowflakes, polar bears and pine cones decorate the house in January. Even the otherwise boring coasters come into their own with a snowflake stamp and fit harmoniously into the concept. The craft idea can be implemented in just three steps. Simply brush the stamp with white wood paint and stamp the cup coasters. When the paint dries completely, apply a protective layer of transparent wood protection glaze. Served on a coaster like this, the coffee is guaranteed to taste better.
Make your own natural decorations for January
When the Christmas decorations are taken down in January, many natural materials end up in the trash. But that doesn't have to be the case. With a little creativity, you can use leftover pine branches, pine cones, etc. for winter decorations. Even simple glass vases, for example, become a special eye-catcher if you distribute individual juniper branches on them. Thuja, cypress or pine branches are also suitable as soloists. In February you can add white roses, white amaryllis or gypsophila.
Winter decoration for hanging
The next decoration idea for the winter is puristic and stylish. Origami pine cones and paper snowflakes decorate the Christmas garland made from real pine branches. Perfect as a window or wall decoration in the living room, the puristic ensemble brings a touch of naturalness into the home.
Cypress and fir branches are not only beautiful to look at, they also exude a pleasant scent in the room. In combination with smaller cones, they become real eye-catchers and conjure up a touch of chalet charm on the window.
Origami paper stars with cut-out motifs can also enhance the furnishings. If they are made of brown cardboard, they fit particularly well into the natural Hygge ambience.
The winter forest magic moves into the house with a garland of fir branches. The fir branches are hardy and will last a long time even in an unheated room like the hallway. If you choose the natural winter decoration, you can give it a home on the hall table, on the coat hook or on the mirror.
Make your own decorations for January: tree trunk candle holders
The tree trunk candle holders are very popular. With good reason, because they can always be re-staged depending on the season and are therefore considered true all-rounders. Together with a vintage porcelain teapot and a scented candle, they effectively round off the puristic ensemble for the dining table. The teapot also proves to be a real all-rounder. In the winter months from January to March it is decorated with fir greenery, and from March onwards a spring bouquet of meadow flowers can be arranged there.
For the tree trunk candle holders: Drill a hole in the wood as wide as the candles, insert the candles into it and paint the bark white. Since there is always a risk of fire when burning candles, you can use LED candles as an exception.
Make flower decorations after Christmas
You don't have to wait for spring to create charming flower arrangements. Cut flowers are perfect for decoration from January to March and ensure a seamless transition from winter to spring. A bouquet of white flowers, dry tree branches and other natural materials of your choice is puristic and stylish at the same time. Simply fill several jam jars with fresh water and arrange them lengthwise on the dining table. Wrap the jars with gradient wicking yarn and arrange the flowers inside. Our tip: A wick yarn with yarn size 6 is ideal for decorating vases.
Wall decoration from January to March: Arrange natural materials in vintage picture frames
Empty white walls make the room appear sterile. The solution: A beautiful winter decoration on the wall. Fairy lights, wooden pendants and fir branches can be arranged in the large vintage wooden picture frame. A white lantern with a snowflake pattern, two small teapots and natural materials on the side table take up the purist Hygge theme and spice up the bare wall.
Living room decoration for January: decorate a vase without flowers
Even without flowers, a fir green ensemble can be effective. In an arrangement of laurel and cypress branches and fir green, shapes and structures set the tone. The bouquet without flowers proves to be a good alternative to traditional flower arrangements in January and February. The first crocuses can appear in February and a large selection of flowers will be available from March.
Hygge-style winter decorations create a cozy atmosphere. Just what we need in the cold months of January, February and March. Bring the chalet charm into your own four walls with a touch of purism.
