Tricks and Trends to Find the Way through Winter

Here in Texas, the weather has changed overnight from high 80's to low 60's during the day!

(Which if you're from around here, you know the 60's are considered cold)

As with every change in season, it brings fresh perspective, new ideas and motivation.

We are pumped to share our latest ideas to get your home in "winter shape".

To get you inspired, we splashed a few of our key elements together for a mood board:

1. Gray and textural furniture:

What screams winter more than cozy and what is cozier than a piece of furniture you can sink into with a soft, textural fabric. And gray is light and bright to complement WHITE, which is the key color for winter.

This particular sectional is from Arhaus and we are LOVING their furniture line. Check them out!

2. Crystal Light Fixtures:

The "icicle" metaphor is played up in these fixtures, what a fun way to sparkle light throughout your home

3. Color Scheme:

White, white, and white when paired with an icy blue, gray and a pop of navy is the scheme for this winter

4. Acrylic Chairs:

We love the look of acrylic furniture, and this winter we feel it sets the tone for the cool season

5. Fur and Sheepskin:

Not only is it soft and warm, but the white color especially follows suit perfectly with the winder scheme.

6. Marble Tables:

Again, pulling as much white into your home as possible, marble top tables are not only dainty, gorgeous but bring a solid cool stone texture to pair with your textured fabrics.

7. A Muted Rug:

Bring in that icy blue gray color into your room by selecting a rug that echoes a snowflake pattern abstractly in a muted tone.

8. Accessories

Don't forget candles, glass and mirrored objects to reflect the ring of the season!!

So while all these elements are wonderful in their own ways, HOW do you implement these into a room setting??

We are excited to show you a few sneak peeks from a recent TCI project that brings many of these ideas into play.

Winter Storage Ideas for the Win

Well, here in Texas it is STARTING to feel a little cooler!

(don't get too excited ... just in the 70's ;)

But either way, never too early to start thinking about the winter and ways to maximize the mess!

We have compiled 5 of our favorite storage solutions for the winter season!

Wood Log Storage:

Using wood logs as decor has actual become quite popular lately, so why not show them off in a stylish rack?

Boot Rack:

Because ... yes, I'm guilty. I have one too many pairs of boots. But come on, who doesn't?! They do tend to get thrown in the bottom of the closet at times, and lose their shape ... but not now thanks to this boot rack with inserts for the boot leg!

Holiday Storage 3-Pack:

Christmas is around the corner, so thinking ahead to when it's time to break everything down, check out this 3 in 1 solution for wreaths, ornaments, and wrapping paper

Cozy up with a Throw Blanket!

On a cold day like today ... what is the BEST thing to cozy up with??

Your favorite, soft, and fluffy blanket of course!!

But did you know that a throw blanket can also set the

tone for the decor of the room as well??

We are here to show you a few of our favorite ways to let a blanket stand out in the room...

and take center stage!

This just might be the most interesting thing we've seen out there --

How do you feel about it?? Draping a throw blanket through an arm chair to completely change the look and feel?

Of course the most common -- a throw at the end of the bed.

We love this aztec inspired, comfy look.

For a more formal "gold" look. This tailored greek key blanket, perfectly folded and draped over the sofa, gives a pop of pattern to an otherwise solid room.
