Gorgeous home decor ideas for every season

Give your home the perfect seasonal embellishments with these stunning and easy decor tips.

Emphasize the season by going with colours like pale purple, pastel yellow, pink and eggshell blue. A few other springtime choices:

• Decorate the windowsill with early blooming flowers like crocuses, tulips, and daffodils in small terracotta pots.
• Opt for sheer curtains, tablecloths, and pillows that lighten up the look of a room. Look for plain, embroidered, or printed sheer designs that complement your interiors.
• Rework your accessories. Clean winter dust off the shelves. Bring out floral china or clear glass, and switch out dark-coloured couch cushions for more cheerful tones.
• Reorient furniture that centres on the fireplace towards a view of the garden instead.

Summer is a time for rich colours. Here's how to create a few summertime touches:

• Laying a white linen slipcover over the couch will create a summery mood, especially if you use colourful cushions as accents.
• Counteract summer's heat with cool hues: outdoor tables draped with blue and white are like a cool breeze in the garden.
• Create a maritime flair by simply filling glass tubes with sand of different colours and grain sizes, and setting them out on the balcony.
• Change your heavy oriental carpet for a light and natural sisal rug.
• Replace your fireplace logs with white candles of different heights and sizes.
• Arrange sunflowers in glass vases and light them up with lanterns at dusk to add a warm, decorative element to garden parties or barbecues on the deck.

With no effort, you can decorate your house or apartment with foliage and fruit from field and forest:

• Echo the changing colours of the leaves with accents in warm shades of orange and red. Dark green and harvest gold are also the perfect match for warm autumnal hues.
• Let fall usher in soft, textured fabrics like suede, velvet, and felt. Satin in fall colours adds glitz to table decorations.
• Place decorative elements such as fresh or dried leaves, chestnuts, acorns, or beechnuts in plain bowls to lend a little beauty to tables, sideboards, and windowsills.
• Create autumnal table decorations from pumpkins, dried wheat stalks, corn cobs and gourds: simply spread them out on the table.
• Looking to create an edible fall accent piece? One easy concept is to place vibrant red apples and juicy pears into a large glass bowl to turn it into an ornamental arrangement.

Even though it may be cold outside, you can create a cozy atmosphere in your home with these tips:

• Bring ice and snow to mind with white, turquoise, and bluish-green. Of course, the true colour of winter is snow white, which can be beautifully combined with other seasonal colours.
• Alternatively, chase the winter chill out of your home with rich shades of purple, gold, and red.
• Use winter decor fabrics like soft wool, luxurious satin, chenille, and lambswool. Incorporate them via pillows, throws, and drapes.
• Add warmth to a room (literally and figuratively) by swapping sheer curtains for heavy draperies.
• Use carpet tiles for a quick and inexpensive way to warm up the floors of your living room or bedroom.
• Make a colourful and cozy winter bolster pillow by sewing two scarves together lengthwise, stuffing them with batting, and securing the ends with ribbons.
• Grab attention with decorative glassware like vases or lanterns. They contrast pleasantly with rustic-looking decorations made of wood.
• Opt for a vase full of winterberries or evergreen twigs, or a bowl filled with glittering Christmas ball decorations, apples, or oranges for a nice winter touch.
