Have the winter blues put a wrench in your home décor plans? These hot décor trends are just what you need to spice up this chilly month!
February is dreary. Between binging on Netflix docs, hiding under your favorite blanket and drinking endless cups of tea, the motivation to carry out your home décor plans may have come to a sudden halt.
Fear not—Today we reveal the hottest February décor trends that are sure to pull you out of your winter rut!
February Décor Trend #1: Pops Of Red
With Valentines Day right around the corner, February is a great month to re-ignite passion into your home with luscious pops of red.
Red is the color of fire and blood, so it’s associated with strength, power, desire and love. It’s said to increase respiration rate and raise blood pressure, making it the perfect go-to color to put an end to your winter slump and fill your home with much-needed energy.
If you’re having trouble getting started, start small. Even tossing a bright red accent throw across your sofa is a quick and easy way to add a touch of vibrancy to your space.
The same can be said for accent pieces. The Vibes Double Bench in red is a great starter piece that looks gorgeous in entryways, halls and underneath windowpanes.
Still looking for that extra pop of energy? Treat yourself to a fresh and fragrant bouquet of red roses and display them in the middle of your coffee table; better yet, let your hubby buy them for you… (It is Valentines month, after all!)
February Décor Trend #2: Feminine Touches
Streamlined accents and industrial designs dominated the interior decor scene last year, so this year (and in February especially) we love the idea of bringing softer, feminine touches into the home to awaken your senses.
You can do this a number of ways, but let’s focus on three:
- Soft Muted Colors
Some might think using pink adds feminine appeal, but muted tones of any color are feminine. The Rigi Accent Chair in blue is the perfect example of an accent piece that fits this trend.
- Curvlinear Form
Have you ever noticed that freeform and curving lines feel softer and more feminine than strict geometric shapes? If you need a touch of femininity in the bedroom, the Anastasia Bed in ivory is our top pick!
- Plush Texture
Incorporating plush texture is another easy way to bring luxurious femininity into your space. You can go small with delicately designed accent pillows or up the ante with a spectacular tufted accent piece like the Celine Bench in grey.
February Décor Trend #3: Luminous Lighting
February is dark; that’s why we love the idea of incorporating luminous lighting into your space to help brighten your mood.
High intensity indoor light fixtures come in various styles, shapes and sizes to complement your existing décor schemes.
Placed strategically around your home, you can instantly brighten your space, illuminate your accents and infuse energy into your surroundings.
One light worth mentioning is the “Day and Night” lamp created by Designer Eleonore Delisse.
Its round glass feature casts a colored shadow through your space, like a miniature sun, helping reset your biological clock and combat seasonal depression; a unique piece to consider if you suffer from seasonal affective disorder.
If your seasonal issues don’t run that deep, you can simply increase the wattage of your regular light bulbs and refresh your space in a matter of minutes!
