How to Create a Frosted Home Interior

Even if we don’t have a white Christmas this year you can create your very own winter wonderland with a FROSTED interior design that is crisp and elegant. Cool icy tones and winter pastels come together with cosy fabrics, upholstery and shimmering accessories to give a fabulously frosty home interior. This look is simple and timeless and works in any room of the home.

There are wide arrays of colours that work perfectly in creating a frosted ambiance in your chosen room. For a classic glacial inspired look then opt for crisp white and ice blue colour tones that will create a sleek and illuminating look in your home. For a more soft and inviting arctic design then partner crisp white with dove grey and charcoal for a sophisticated look that is hot on trend this winter season. If you wish to introduce some colour into your chosen space then include natural wintery hues such as russet and fern green or dusky tones such as mauve and duck egg that will create a warm and inviting cosiness in your room. If opting for wallpaper select tree, leaf and wood effect designs that will create texture on your chosen feature wall or opt for dazzling glittered wallpapers for a glistening frosted finish.

The more texture the better in a frosted home interior. Mix and match your fabrics across all of your soft furnishings to create variation in colour, finish and pattern. Opt for some sleek satin curtains in white, silver or gunmetal grey and finish with some clear crystal tie backs for a glamorous finished look. Place a large faux fur rug in the centre of the room in cool crisp white and grey that will create practical warmth and visual texture in your home. Decorate a sofa or bed with a selection of cushions in mix and match designs. Try combining white, grey and blue chunky knitted cushions with faux fur, glitter and sequin designs for a crisp and luxurious look. Complete the look with a co-ordinating faux fur or pom pom throw that is perfect for cuddling up on the cold winter evenings.

Accessorise your home with an array of winter inspired accessories to create a complimentary finish against the frozen backdrop. Fill large glass vases, and storm lanterns with snow sprayed acorns and berries and place large sprigs of twigs in table or floor vases and decorate with clear white fairy lights for a fabulous focal point within the room. Opt for crisp white ceramics and ornaments or silver glittered accessories such as mirrors and photo frames that will create illumination within your home. For a show stopping centrepiece then add a statement light fitting in the centre of the room. Opt for a classic clear crystal chandelier for an ice palace inspired look or select a modern sculptural piece featuring bursts of crisp white icicles that will create the wow factor in any room of the home.

Keep your furniture choices simple yet stylish. White painted furniture is an obvious choice for this interior look as it will compliment the crisp colour palette and accessories and create a sense of space and light that is perfect for smaller or more compact rooms. Grey painted furniture also looks wonderful in a frosted home interior and will create an alpine cottage feel to the room that is bright yet cosy. Silver or mirrored furniture is perfect for creating a glistening and glamorous finish that looks particularly stylish in bedroom and dressing room interiors. If selecting plain wooden furniture for this look then try and choose distressed or weathered light oak items or white washed designs that will create a rich and cosy finish with natural character and texture.
