Ask A Designer: Winter Design Trends

As we approach the heart of winter, Tumble's designer, Kerri Besse, is here to unveil the latest trends that will transform your home into a cozy haven. Following in the footsteps of our previous blogs on fall design trends, Kerri continues to provide invaluable insights into creating spaces that reflect the season.

Winter Color Palette: Sage and Damson Take Center Stage

Out with olive, in with sage! This winter, we're saying goodbye to the traditional olive tones and embracing the calming sophistication of sage green. This versatile shade pairs beautifully with wood accents, antique brass handles, and artisan décor - infusing your space with rustic charm. The soft, warm nature of sage green creates a timeless and visually appealing interior. For those looking to add a touch of glamor, consider incorporating metallic accents in brass or gold.

 We also welcome damson, a fruity red-purple tone inspired by the British countryside. This rich and sophisticated hue seamlessly integrates into various styles, working well with warm palettes of gold and copper or cooler shades of blue. Whether applied to walls, furniture, or textiles, damson brings warmth and refinement to your home, evoking a sense of charm. Experiment with complementary tones like gold or muted neutrals for a balanced and visually striking effect.

Texture is Key: Embracing “Touch-me” Textures

Winter is synonymous with coziness, and this season is all about "touch-me" textures. Boucle, felt, faux fur, and natural linen are the stars, creating a comforting feel that everyone craves in the colder months. Introduce these tactile elements through plush faux fur throws, pillows, or area rugs, instantly transforming your space into a cozy and inviting environment.

Mix and match textures by combining faux fur with natural materials like wood and stone for a harmonious blend of warmth and sophistication. Whether it's a luxurious faux fur throw draped over your sofa or a boucle area rug underfoot, these textures add both opulence and warmth to your winter decor.
