When the holiday decorations come down, many of us feel a bit blue. The shift from festive cheer to everyday life can be tough. But don't worry! We've got some great ideas to make your home cozy and inviting after the holidays. Let's look at ways to refresh your space, beat the winter blahs, and create a home that makes you feel good all year round.

Use Calm Colours for a Peaceful Feel

Start with soothing wallpapers. These make a great background for your new decor and can change with the seasons. The Metropolitan Stories Bark Neutral Wallpaper looks like tree bark and can make your room feel peaceful. It's like bringing a bit of the forest inside.

For a fancy look, try the Sienna Damask Grey Wallpaper. It's light grey with a pretty pattern that looks classy without being too much. These neutral walls let you change other things in your room easily, like pillows or curtains, as the year goes on.

Add Warmth with Textured Wallpapers

To make your home feel cozy in winter, use wallpapers that feel nice to touch. These can make your room feel warm and comfy, perfect for when it's cold outside. Textured wallpapers look interesting and make a room feel more special.

The Distinctive Rustic Brick Silver Wallpaper looks like old bricks and can make your room feel like a cool city loft. It's great for making one wall stand out. If you like nature, the Wood Slat Walnut Wallpaper looks like real wood panels. It can make your room feel like a cozy cabin without needing real wood walls.

Add Shine with Metallic Touches

Metallic wallpapers can make your room brighter and fancier. They reflect light, which is great for dark winter days. These shiny wallpapers work well in rooms that don't get much sunlight, making them feel brighter and more lively.

The Sofia Sprig Silver Wallpaper has pretty silver flowers that catch the light. It can make a room feel bigger and brighter. This wallpaper is perfect for bedrooms or dining rooms. Use metallic wallpapers on one wall or in small areas to make them special without being too much.

Use Nature-Inspired Patterns

Wallpapers with nature designs can help you feel connected to the outdoors, even when it's cold outside. These patterns can make you feel calm and happy, which is great when you're stuck inside during winter.

The Harris Tweed Plain Green Wallpaper is a rich green colour that feels like grass or forest leaves. It can make a room feel peaceful, like being in nature. For something fun, the Animal Maps Grey Wallpaper has maps and animals. It's great for kids' rooms or a home office, adding a bit of adventure to your walls.

Make Cozy Corners

Create a special spot in your home where you can relax. Use wallpaper to make this area feel different and extra comfy. This can be your own little retreat where you can read, think, or just chill out after a long day.

When making your cozy corner, use different textures to make it feel special. Add a comfy chair or make a window seat with lots of pillows. Put in soft things like the Torcello Gold Cushion to make it perfect for reading or relaxing. This fancy cushion is comfy and looks great with its gold colour.

Use Lights to Feel Better

Good lighting is really important for feeling happy after the holidays, especially when it's dark outside. The right lights can make you feel better and more energetic. Use different kinds of lights to make your room work for different times and activities.

Start with big lights that light up the whole room. Then add smaller lights for things like reading or working. Finally, use special lights to show off cool parts of your room or your new wallpaper. You can use wall lights, picture lights, or small table lamps for this.

Think about using special daylight lamps where you spend a lot of time during the day. These lamps are like sunlight and can help you feel better and more awake, especially in winter.

Use lights to make your wallpaper look even better. Put wall lights near textured wallpaper to make interesting shadows. Hanging lights can make metallic wallpapers sparkle. For nature wallpapers, use warm lights to make it feel like sunshine coming through trees.

Fun DIY Projects

Making things yourself can be fun and make you feel good. It's a great way to add your own style to your home. Here are some ideas:

• Make a cool wall using leftover wallpaper pieces
• Frame your favorite wallpaper patterns to make art
• Use wallpaper inside bookshelves or drawers for a surprise
• Cover plain lampshades with wallpaper
• Make pretty storage boxes with wallpaper
• Cover a folding screen with different wallpapers

These projects are fun to do and can make your home look new. They're also great for beating the winter blues, giving you something fun to focus on.

Tips from Noblett's Wallpaper Experts

Our team at Noblett's Wallpaper knows a lot about making homes look great. We suggest starting small when you're changing your decor after the holidays. Maybe just do one room or one wall first. This lets you see how different colours and patterns make you feel without changing everything at once.

Here's some advice for choosing wallpaper:

• Colours can change how you feel: Blues and greens are calming, while yellows and oranges can make you feel more energetic
• Big patterns work well in big rooms, while smaller patterns are good for cozy spaces
• Textured wallpapers can make a room feel warmer and more inviting
• In dark rooms, use wallpapers that shine a bit to help reflect light

Don't be afraid to try bold designs in small areas. An accent wall or a small nook is perfect for trying something different. Remember, your home should make you happy, so choose designs you really like.
