Apre Ski

Embrace the chilly climate and transform your home into the perfect winter retreat. Take inspiration from luxurious lodge living with a mix of traditional fixtures and modern elements. Honey-hued pine and oak woods, leather and fur accents and alpine motifs layer up for a sophisticated take on an Aspen abode.

Avoid going overly thematic by incorporating just a few fur accents and keeping majority of textiles minimal.

Berry Crumble

Nothing beats a warm room on a cold day. Create a rich, soulful atmosphere with a sumptuous palette from your seating, to small accessories and even with a lick of paint. Look to decadent shades of plum, blackcurrant and tamarillo while lashings of rust, cinnamon and dusky peach add a soft, romantic contrast.

Vase by Henry Dean $109 from Corso De’ Fiori

Cushion $89.90 from French Country Collections.

Style Tip:

An array of cushions or an artwork in blush and berry tones offers a subtle and interchangeable approach.

Parisian apartments will forever be synonymous with classic, effortless style. Charming vintage seating in plush velvet, industrial metal accents and a few elegant yet quirky accessories make for a fail-safe formula. Stick to a pared-back palette of soft blues and warm greys and Voilà — a chic, timeless space.

Wabi Sabi

Look to an approach of perfect imperfection for a soothing, organic aesthetic in the home. Shifiting away from both overly considered minimalism and cluttered bohemianism, a Wabi-sabi aesthetic sees a balance of paring back to fewer, more treasured items and embracing the beauty of natural flaws.

Vase by Vista Alegre Atlantis, $149 from Smith and Caughey’s.

Style Tip:

Cut out clutter by choosing accessible storage, leaving a few key, decorative items out on display.
