If you’re not sure how to style your home for the season, our design style quiz will help you find the winter aesthetic that feels most like you.
To discover your winter aesthetic, we’ll ask you to choose between opposing design preferences. For example, do you prefer light and airy spaces (like the image above) or dark and cocooning corners? Do you favor raw, natural wood or smooth, polished stone? Your selections will help determine whether your ideal style relies on muted tones and rich textures or vibrant colors and bold patterns.
What Is Your Winter Aesthetic?
Your winter color palette is crucial for setting the mood. Are you drawn to the clean, crisp whites and pale grays of a snowy landscape, often associated with a Scandi or Minimalist aesthetic? Or does your ideal winter room feature deep, jewel-toned colors like emerald, ruby, and charcoal, which create a cocooning, moody atmosphere? Consider how much warmth you need; this can be introduced through burnt orange, rust, and mustard yellow accents.
Curate Your Winter Color Palette
Your entryway is your home’s first impression. Do you prefer an entryway that is bright and organized, featuring a sleek console table and a simple piece of art (Minimalist/Scandi)? Or do you prefer a space that is richly layered and textural, perhaps with a sheepskin rug, a vintage wooden bench, and warm, diffused lighting (Bohemian/Rustic Lodge)? This choice indicates your overall preference for simple utility versus sensory comfort.
Choose the Most Inviting Entryway
The winter bedroom is all about maximizing rest and warmth. Do you prefer a simple, low-profile bed with crisp white linens and a few essential, high-quality blankets (Minimalist)? Or do you choose a large, heavily layered bed with a tufted headboard, velvet pillows, and chunky knit throws in deep colors, emphasizing luxurious softness (Lodge/Maximalist)? Your answer reveals your priority: simplicity or indulgence.
Pick the Bed That Makes You Want to Sleep In
