Sheepskin is the epitome of cozy winter home decor. It instantly brings warmth to any room. Place a sheepskin rug ($99, Pottery Barn) on the floor, or toss one over an ottoman or a chaise to provide a toasty spot to tuck chilly toes while reading or relaxing. You can also drape sheepskin pelts over wood benches and dining chairs for added warmth and comfort.

With winter comes fewer hours of daylight, so it's important to make sure your space still feels bright and inviting throughout the season. Bring in floor lamps to illuminate dark corners, and place small fixtures atop side tables or the mantel. Consider installing wall sconces or a new pendant light overhead for a more permanent solution.

When cold weather sets in, your focus will naturally shift toward the hearth. Give your fireplace a quick makeover to ensure it's ready for all that extra attention. A large mirror above the mantel instantly elevates this fireplace to focal-point status. Candlesticks provide simple winter decorations for the mantel, while a potted fern adds life. An antique stool provides a perch while tending to the fire.

The landscape outside might look bleak and lifeless during cold winter months, but your home doesn't have to. Incorporate plants into your winter decorating to make rooms appear livelier and more cheerful. Choose varieties with sculptural leaves, such as the popular fiddle leaf fig tree, for a naturally striking accent.

Rearranging your furniture can give rooms a fresh look for winter. If you have a fireplace, pull pieces in toward the center of the room and face them near the hearth to create a cozy gathering spot for winter entertaining. Plush fabrics and upholstery add warmth even without a roaring fire.

Avoid the winter blues by infusing your spaces with pops of cheery color. A bright throw or a few boldly patterned pillows will help ensure your neutral spaces don't look stark and cold like the space outside your windows. Brightly colored elements can also last into the spring and summer, so this winter decorating idea makes a savvy investment.

Bright Winter Decor Ideas

With the shorter days, it's time to maximize what natural light is still available. Hanging a large mirror on a blank stretch of wall or above a mantel display will reflect light throughout your space. Turn the mirror into a decorative display by painting the frame an eye-catching color, or opt for the simplicity of an aged metal finish.

Even kitchens need a little TLC during the winter months. Adding bold window treatments to your kitchen windows, like this patterned Roman shade, will keep your workspace feeling merry and bright even after the holidays. Create your own simple curtains by purchasing a yard of fabric in the color or pattern of your choice, hemming the raw edges, and using clip-style curtain rings over rods.

Block out chilly winter drafts by layering on window treatments. Thick draperies add volume and color in this pretty nook. Replace the thick curtains with sheer draperies during warmer months, or simply remove the extra treatments altogether until temperatures plunge again.

A window seat offers the perfect perch for an afternoon nap or a day spent lost in a good book. Keep your window seats cozy by bulking them up with fluffy seat cushions and pillows. If space permits, use under-seat storage to house blankets and other winter decorations for the season.

Although decor and accessories can go a long way toward cozying up your home, it's important to fill it with the smells of the season, too. A bowl of potpourri in a wintry fragrance, such pine needles or evergreen, or a basket of cinnamon-scented pinecones will instantly fill your home with seasonal cheer. Display the arrangement prominently on a mantel or as a casual winter table centerpiece.
