Winter Cabin

The Winter Cabin colour palette looks as though it has been taken straight from a snowy mountain landscape. White ice lacquer creates the fresh foundation. This crisp white shade is reminiscent of freshly fallen snow, frost patterns on a window and fir branches covered in ice crystals. Smokey pearl and silver add a subtle shimmer. Never too extravagant, but festive enough to beautifully reflect every light on the Christmas tree.

Together, these colours bring to mind traditional mountain lodges and Scandinavian winter homes. They combine the freshness of the outdoors with the cosy warmth of being inside. White and silver create the snowy effect, shades of blue bring a sense of calm, while brown gives the scheme a rugged, natural character.

Winter Cabin is about much more than colour. The choice of materials really brings the atmosphere to life. Soft fabrics take centre stage. Wool, velvet and knitted textures make the interior feel irresistibly tactile. Drape a thick throw over the sofa, add a few fluffy cushions and place a soft pouffe beside the Christmas tree. Before you know it, you have created that wonderfully cosy cabin feeling.

Beautiful additions to a Winter Cabin setting include:

• Christmas baubles in white, smokey pearl, caramel brown, blue dawn, night blue and silver;
• ornaments with snowy finishes, icy textures or a pearlescent sheen;
• wooden stars, Christmas trees and other nature-inspired decorations;
• soft woodland animals and Christmas characters with knitted or fluffy details;
• thick throws, woolly cushions and decorative faux fur;
• warm white Christmas lights, lanterns and candles;
• snow-covered branches, pine cones and winter wreaths.

You certainly do not need to live in a log cabin in the middle of the mountains to embrace this Christmas trend. Start with the Christmas tree and choose white and smokey pearl as your calm, neutral base. Then add baubles in pale blue, night blue and caramel brown. A few silver ornaments will provide an extra touch of sparkle. Use warm white Christmas lights and distribute them evenly amongst the branches so that the tree appears to glow from within.

Want to enhance the wintry effect? Add a few snow-covered decorative branches, white foliage or sparkling ice crystals. Wooden stars and animal ornaments make the tree feel less formal and add a playful touch. This makes it easy to adapt the Winter Cabin trend to suit your own personal style.
