DESIGN INSPIRATION

Winter Home Decor Essentials for Every Type of Person

There’s just something about the crisp air outside that makes me want to bundle up by the fireplace, read a book, and switch up my winter home decor.

If I had to describe myself, I’d say I’m a homebody who loves to host and entertain people. I get that not everyone is like that, though! Some people are more drawn to the kitchen while others are all about their self-care routines. Whatever you prefer, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve taken all the most popular “types” of people at home and created winter home decor essentials I think they’d love. So, if you’re a cook, host, homebody, self-care lover, or design-obsessed, I have some major style inspo coming your way. Scroll to the section you fit in best and find items you’ll fall in love with. Psst, send your faves to your partner as a hint for what you want for the holidays!

 

For the Cook

What you need:

Calling all aspiring chefs! If you live in the kitchen, I’m willing to bet it’s your personal safe space. Whether you’re a master baker or make amazing hearty meals, I have some ideas to spruce up your space and make your time in the kitchen even more enjoyable. First and foremost, I think you need our Ashton Cookbook Stand. The reclaimed wood and white backing make for one stunning combination. All you have to do is prop up your fave cookbook or recipe notebook and get to cooking – making sure to use our adorable Coquo Spoon!

If you love to make sweets and treats year-round, then you definitely need our Ava Gold Measuring Spoons. They’re cute enough to be put on display and the gold adds a luxurious feel. If clean-up gets a bit messy, our Ansel Hand Towel will get the job done. 

 

For the Host and Entertainer

What you need:

Some of us are simply meant to entertain our loved ones… myself included! If you’ve ever wondered what my must-have winter home decor essentials are, it all has to do with hosting. Whenever I have friends over for dinner, I’m always sure to set the table with my most prized possessions. Since I always grab my guests a drink when they walk in the door, I’m sure to have our Maverick Opener and Yosemite Coasters nearby!

Next up, when dinner is ready, I love to use our Cynthia Salad Bowl and Cynthia Salt & Pepper Shakers. The collection is on trend and works perfectly any time of year. I especially love it during the holidays surrounded by moody florals! 

 

For the Homebody

What you need:

When you make your home into your personal oasis, it makes sense why you’d never want to leave! If you’re a homebody at heart, we have some of the best winter home essentials I just know you’ll get tons of use out of. For when you’re cozied up on the couch, bundle yourself in our Finn Throw. This chunky knit will keep you warm during even the chilliest of days! If you’re sipping on some hot cocoa, you definitely can’t go wrong without our Catalina Marble Coasters. 

Being a homebody is so much more than just wanting to chill and relax—it’s about the environment you’re in! Pop your favorite photo into our Madera Picture Frame for that subtle reminder to smile and don’t forget about our Rica Taper Holder! Set the mood with a long candle and light this baby up for the perfect day at home. 

 

For the Self-Care Lover

What you need:

If you’re all about self-care and have the skincare collection to show for it, props to you! I’m sure you’re all about meditation and relaxation—and we’ve got some great products that will take your self-care game to the next level. And since self-care isn’t just about your body, but your home, I think you’d absolutely love our Sera Patchouli Liquid Soap and Kate Soap Dish and Brush Set. They’re so much cuter than a basic old sponge or soap dispenser and you might even look forward to doing the dishes (hey, I said might!). 

When it’s time to focus on your body’s needs, I always suggest taking a soak in the tub and using our Collette Beech Wood Hand Brush. Dry brushing has so many benefits including lymphatic drainage, stress release, improved circulation, and more! And once you’re all clean and ready to bundle up, wrap yourself in our super comfy Atacama Throw, crafted from Alpaca fibers. 

 

For the Design-Obsessed

What you need:

If you’ve found your way to my blog, I just know you consider yourself to be a designer at heart… or at least someone who appreciates design! This winter, I love the idea of incorporating more neutrals, and if that piques your interest, then you absolutely need to style our Amber Beads and our Crosby Pedestal. You can even throw a candle in the mix for some added height and dimension!

I also think you’d love our best-selling Lincoln Marble Chain, crafted from marble. It would look amazing on a coffee table, your desk, or really any place around the house that seems to be missing something! And perhaps my favorite for the design-obsessed is our Wade Hexagon Dish. It’s truly one-of-a-kind and will earn you lots of compliments from guests. The mango wood, dyed in different hues, is great for spices like salt and pepper or whatever else you use daily!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed reading all about my favorite winter home decor essentials. If you end up getting any for yourself or a loved one, I’d love to see how they turn out in your home! Be sure to tag me on Instagram @LindyeGalloway.
