I liked this idea from Pinterest. I did a photo display for Christmas in a kitchen frame I had but I like this one even better (with non-Christmas photos)

Cozy Winter Living Room Decor! The perfect transition after Christmas! - Wilshire Collections

I do love the fuzzy stems!


And her list of ideas:

Some of things in her cozy winter living room :​

• Trees! Not the kind with ornaments and ribbon, just simple trees. Flocked or green, I like them both!
• Birch logs and anything birch! Basically give me all the birch!
• Cotton! Cotton is a great to add in with any winter greens you may be using. I’ve always loved it in the Winter months.
• Greenery! Any type of wintery looking greens will do!
• Pillows and throws are a must for EVERY season!
• Baskets and buckets filled with some of things mentioned above!

Snowflake and snowmen decor will remain out until the end of January. I will switch my runners on the buffet and TV stand and my end table coverings to blues and creams (most have snowflake patterns), and all candles will go back to those colors. My next holiday to decorate will be St. Patrick's Day.

Winter here is June, July and August, we get cold, often below freezing but rarely any snow. I love decorating with cushions and throws and making the home as warm and cozy as can be.
Lucie, I love the photo display

I saw a few things I liked last week at the store, but didn't buy it. I am THINKING. ... so I have convinced myself if they still have them when we go get dh's glasses, I will buy them and decorate my 'office'. will post pics of what I pick up.

Makes me think it would be a good time for me to bring the buffalo plaid in and have an excuse. I love traditional colors to much and have many vintage pieces of decor to go "winter" and "buffalo plaid" during christmas, but I could afterwards. I guess I never thought of that before really. I'm redoing the colors in my living room to more neutrals, so I can do just that, switch out decor seasonally more.

Thanks for sharing those links. I love what they did! The one designer only uses red at Christmas. It's so interesting to read that because I have love having some form of red and navy blue in my year round color palette. Spring is the only time when I tone it down and go with pink and pale blue.

For winter, I've brought some fresh greenery into the house and put them in vases and old bottles. Pinecones and white candles in all kinds of jars are throughout the house. White string lights are on the fireplace mantle. I kept the artificial greenery up from Christmas but without the decorations: Wreaths, garlands of holly, poinsettias, small artificial trees. I have winterberry plates and holly plates that we use too. I do have tons of snowflakes from my auction decorating days. My dds have asked to take some to school so after they pick which ones they want, I will put some in our front window. Now if only we'd get some real snowflakes...

Also bought a nice sized cactus for the other corner of the room.

I ordered a lovely Winter print of a barn and a tree. I will frame it and add to my mantle with some candles for Winter. I have some lovely throws and cushions so I think the new lounge room will be quite cozy. I sorted my seasonal tote a few days ago and I have a little boy and girl figurine and some small ornamental ice skates that I can pull out.
Will see if I like the look and then maybe order something for the rest of the seasons, I have barely anything else as I have never really decorated for the other seasons.

The print that I ordered was fine, not the best quality. It is almost printed on plastic "paper".
I have ordered a Spring, Summer and Autumn print. They are only a few dollars from Temu. I think once they are framed they will look fine.

I've been watching FB Marketplace for winter prints for my foyer. I know what I'm looking for and have an artist in mind. Just watching for the right one in the right size, and I'd rather not pay full price. Also, keep an eye out at resale / thrift shops. They sometimes get in some nice quality ones.

Lori, thank you for that information.
The local second hand shop often does themes so will go there and look.

Nearly time to decorate for Winter. I have pulled 2 Winter cushions and a throw rug on the couch. I have a snowflake lantern on the mantle piece. Looking forward to making the house cozy for the cold months ahead.

I still find it weird whenever I hear that it's a totally different season on the other half of the world.

It's strange isn't it? I find it especially odd when I start talking about Christmas and having picnics or dinner outdoors.
