\u200bThe holidays are over, the Christmas decor is coming down, and if you’re anything like me, there are mixed feelings of sadness that the festive season is over and equal anticipation of a home that feels fresh and cozy. \u00a0Even though we don’t have anything close to a winter wonderland here in South Florida, I still like to embrace the winter season and make our home decor feel extra cozy<\/strong>. \u00a0Especially with the long evenings and more time at home in a less-busy time of year, I love having a cozy feel to our spaces. \u00a0Today, I’ll share with you some simple ideas for non Christmas winter decorating that you can easily incorporate into your cozy winter home!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

winter months while feeling like a true refresh for the new year!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

kinds of decor. \u00a0You can also draw from your Christmas decorations to help you get started with simple winter decor ideas. \u00a0Winter decor doesn’t need to be expensive, over-the-top, or time-consuming. \u00a0In fact, I think cozy winter decor is actually the opposite of all of that!<\/strong><\/p>\n I’ll show you some specific ways that I incorporate non-Christmas winter decorations throughout our home after the holiday season. \u00a0First, though, here is a list to get the creative wheels turning in your own brain!<\/p>\n \u200b<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

_builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n This is the easiest spot for a quick refresh! \u00a0I keep my Christmas wreaths<\/a><\/strong><\/span> out and just remove any ribbon, red bows, ornaments, or Christmas lights. \u00a0The winter greenery<\/a><\/strong><\/span> is a perfect way to welcome friends and family in a simple, seasonally-appropriate way that still feels fresh.<\/p>\n I also remove all holiday decorations from my porch and entryway areas. \u00a0To replace them I add very simple outdoor pillows and lanterns. \u00a0I do love to keep a lot of outdoor flameless candles for a welcoming, cozy glow on our front porch for the winter months!<\/strong><\/p>\n If you like to bring in some snow elements, a cute snowman or snowflake pillow would be perfect for a bench or rocking chair. \u00a0Since we are definitely NOT getting snow here, I tend to leave the snowflake decor for my northern friends. \u00a0However, I do love when I see it used in cold weather settings!<\/p>\n \u200b<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Winter-wide-angle-living-spaces–scaled.jpg” alt=”view of a cozy winter kitchen and living room” title_text=”Winter wide angle living spaces” admin_label=”IMG winter wide angle living spaces” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Non Christmas Winter Decorating in the Living Room” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The focal point in our family room is the long gallery wall over the thrifted mantel behind our sofa. \u00a0We don’t have a fireplace but the mantel is still the main focal point of this room. \u00a0I love decorating it for the seasons and holidays! \u00a0Over the years, I have enjoyed different kinds of winter decor in this space. \u00a0A budget-friendly way to bring winter elements into this space is to repurpose my Christmas greenery and garlands.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The first step I follow is to remove all of the Christmas elements from this space: ornaments, bells, stockings, and French horns. \u00a0I guess a French horn isn’t necessarily just for Christmas, of course, but they are definitely a staple in my Christmas collection now<\/strong>, so I removed them to pack up with Christmas decor. \u00a0However, I left all of the greenery just like I had it for Christmas for a budget-friendly way (and a time-friendly way!) to decorate!<\/p>\n \u200bNext, I added empty frames, mirrors, and old violins. \u00a0They are so simple but I love how they bring a cozy touch to the space with pretty wood tones and interesting shape and texture. \u00a0Next, I added some neutral colored vintage books to give height variation. \u00a0Lastly, I added quite a few brass candlesticks<\/a><\/strong> <\/span>and flameless candles<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. \u00a0Just because the holiday season is past doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy a cozy glow during the long, winter evenings!<\/p>\n \u200bAs a matter of fact, these elements are a great opportunity for more budget-friendly decorating. \u00a0Almost all of these pieces came from either a thrift store, vintage market, flea market, or antique mall!<\/strong> \u00a0Most of my favorite pieces are thrifted, after all!<\/p>\n You can “frame” natural elements on the wall or favorite collections for a curated style. \u00a0Just as a tray corrals a vignette on a coffee table<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, a big frame can offer clean lines to style a collection on a gallery wall.<\/p>\n Even though this focal point wall is really simple, I love the statement piece it is for our winter decor. \u00a0The mirrors reflect the cozy candlelight and the old violins feel like they add interest without being season or holiday-specific. \u00a0At the same time, the neutral color palette feels peaceful and calming to all of my senses!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Winter-family-room-straight-angle-scaled.jpg” alt=”view of a gallery wall featuring vintage violins and frames” title_text=”Winter family room straight angle” admin_label=”IMG winter family room straight angle” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Non Christmas Winter Decorating in the Dining Room” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Winter decor is a great time to bring in more natural elements. \u00a0Last year, I repurposed several seasonal decor items from Christmas to use in our dining room. \u00a0Keeping a really neutral color palette allowed me to have some fun with the dried oranges<\/a><\/strong><\/span> we used during the Christmas holidays. \u00a0A fun art piece gives a fresh look to the whole room without being too strong. \u00a0Also, it ties in with the dried orange slices<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in the adjoining kitchen for a cohesive decor style and accent.<\/p>\n I also used the white lantern houses (similar here)<\/a><\/strong><\/span> from my Christmas decor. \u00a0Since there is nothing Christmas-specific on the houses, I mixed them with vintage gold and silver and added small flameless candles<\/a><\/strong><\/span> inside of them. \u00a0I love how the soft candlelight reflects against the metallics.<\/p>\n Especially during these months when it gets dark so early, reflective surfaces help a space feel brighter and more cozy.<\/p>\n On the dining table, you’ll find the most simple kinds of centerpieces. \u00a0Again, cozy candlelight and simple, winter greenery are my go-to elements for any table centerpiece, whether it is the dining table or a coffee table.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Over on THIS post<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, I share all of my favorite tips to create a cozy winter retreat in the bedroom. \u00a0Just as with the other rooms, the first thing to do is pack up all of the Christmas decorations. \u00a0However, keep out some evergreen branches or pretty stems if you don’t have fresh ones available outdoors.<\/p>\n The next thing is to focus on a neutral color palette while adding a lot of cozy layers.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n At the same time, you are adding cozy blankets, pillows, and possibly extra layers of soft bedding<\/a><\/strong><\/span> for a luxurious look. \u00a0This will make your home feel like a cozy winter retreat for those long, cold weather evenings!<\/p>\n \u200b<\/p>\n

fresh for the new year. \u00a0All of these elements will help create a space that feels bright while still being super cozy for winter:<\/p>\nHow to decorate for winter after Christmas?<\/em><\/h3>\n
