Ideas for an inviting entrance area in winter
The trick to design a cozy and inviting house entrance is to use the right materials and colors. Be sure to consider the color of the outer walls and the front door. You will specify the sound when you select the decorative elements. Basically, you simply cannot do anything wrong with wood, dry flowers, candles and textiles in neutral colors such as beige and gray.
If you are a passionate gardener, you may have a few pots and vessels left in winter. Use them (and among other things from zinc) to display beautiful arrangements from evergreen branches or even artificial flowers. A few clues to the long -awaited spring are also well received by the winter decoration for outside.
To remember the winter and its beauty, you can use sledges, ice skates or vintage snowshoes as part of the decoration. Hang them on the outer wall or get an old wooden ladder for the purpose. Combine with artificial white flowers, snow-covered branches and lake and a few pine cones to create a whole winter ensemble.
To add a rustic but modern accent, you can also fill stylish black wire baskets with wooden logs and evergreen branches.
If you have only relied on natural materials in your Christmas decoration that have no direct connection to Christmas, then you can keep this decoration until the end of winter.
Decorate the garden and terrace wintry
It would be far too good if you don't visit your garden and terrace all winter. Yes, you cannot spend hours at the garden table at low temperatures, as in spring and summer, but with the right decoration and a few warming elements, the terrace becomes friendlier. For example, equip your garden armchairs with synthetic covers and bring a few cozy blankets outside. A small fire bowl that you can move back and forth is an additional bonus. Now you can also enjoy your cup of tea or hot chocolate in the fresh air.
When icy temperatures are imminent, you can use the power of nature to your advantage and make a free ice cream decoration yourself. Everything you need are balloons and water, nature will do the rest. Fill the balloons with water until you reach the desired size of the ice lantern. Then put the balloons in a suitable bucket so that you stand upright and wait for the water to freeze. Then fill a little hot water in the middle so that a hollow is created, pour out the water and put a tealight in the middle. These lanterns will make your snow -covered front yard even more beautiful.
A little green on the terrace or in the garden is well received in every season. In winter, when there is no green lawn, you can fill a zinc tub with evergreen branches, eucalyptus, succulents and hyacinths to create a beautiful outdoor arrangement.
And what about the balcony? If you think that “balcony” and “winter” do not belong together in one sentence, then you are wrong. Because the balcony can also offer pleasant moments outdoors during the cold season if it is designed to be suitable. For the winter decoration after the holidays, illuminated lanterns are suitable in different sizes, soft, cozy upholstery and ceilings as well as a few cold -loving plants such as the Helleborus and the Alpine Veils.
The lighting is also an important aspect of the winter decoration for the balcony, especially if you want to use your small open -air room in the afternoon and in the evening. However, it does not have to be opulent lighting. Simply put on a chain of lights and a few lanterns around theOutside cozyAnd to make inviting.
