Color possesses a significant capacity to influence the emotional atmosphere of a space, and when combined with appropriate textures, it can elevate any residence into a genuine haven. The winter season presents an exceptional chance to re-envision interiors as warm, practical retreats that capture the spirit of the season.

Winter interior magic:

In a discussion with HT Lifestyle, Monika Choudhary, founder, CDO, and growth strategist at Habitat Architects, remarked, “By integrating earthy shades such as umber, terracotta, and charcoal with natural elements like wood, stone, and soft fabrics, we cultivate environments that often inspire a sense of retreat and reflection. These colors, drawn from the warmth of nature, effortlessly invite the outdoors inside, nurturing a bond with the natural world even when stepping outside is challenging.”

She stated, “Neutral shades such as greys, beiges, and whites provide a serene backdrop for richer colors that delineate cozy areas, reflect light, and subtly elevate the ambiance. In the colder months, when daylight is limited and the outside world may seem remote, thoughtful design choices that align with nature's changing rhythms can significantly influence the psychological well-being of those who inhabit the space. Our philosophy extends beyond mere comfort; it encompasses the creation of connections—whether with nature, with others, or with oneself.”

The science of cosy:

Sarbjit Singh, founder and principal Interior Designer at Fab Studio, shared his insights, stating, “Colors like beige, taupe, and soft grey form a peaceful base for winter-themed interiors. These tones foster a welcoming yet spacious environment, ideal for promoting comfort during the chillier months. Their adaptability allows for the incorporation of various textures, such as cozy throws, rich wooden elements, and soft rugs, which enhance both the visual and practical aspects of a space.”

He also suggested, “Rich hues like burgundy, forest green, and midnight blue add a layer of luxury and depth. When applied judiciously, they can anchor a room and create striking focal points. For example, an accent wall or sumptuous furnishings in these colors can transform a space, making it feel more intimate and welcoming. Lighting is crucial in enhancing these winter palettes. Warm, ambient lighting mitigates the intensity of darker colors, ensuring a sense of balance and harmony throughout the area. Layered lighting solutions, including dimmable fixtures, sconces, and floor lamps, provide versatility and character, enabling clients to adjust the mood of their interiors for different occasions. Designing with warm neutrals and deep tones transcends mere aesthetics; it is about crafting an atmosphere that resonates deeply, particularly during the winter season.”
