The winter seasons provide the perfect time to embrace cool and crisp interiors that reflect the frosted landscape. This December why not turn your home into a luxurious ICE PALACE that is chic and elegant and will create a bright and illuminating ambiance in any room of the home. From gorgeous glacial colour palettes to crystal and glass accessories this look will create an opulent interior design that even Elsa would be jealous of.
Select colour schemes that are crisp and bright with frosted blue, grey and white tones that give an icy feel to your chosen space. Add accents of metallic silver that will create a glistening finish against the wintery backdrop. If you wish to create a feminine and delicate ambiance then opt for varying white tones such as dove white, antique white and ivory and add accents of gold and bronze for a splash of glamour.
If you are a fan of Nordic inspired interior design then select white, pale blue, lilac and mint to give a fresh yet cosy feel to you home interior.
Choose lighting with cool glacial hues and frozen accents that will create a focal point in the centre of your room. Opt for ice blue, soft white or silver light shades with snowflake filigree or feathered embellishments for a rich and luxurious finish. For a true statement feature then choose a large and eye-catching crystal chandelier with elongated crystal droplets that will mimic the appearance of icicles.
Crystal starburst lights will give the impression of sparkling snowflakes that look fabulous in crisp chrome or white painted finishes or an artistic warped glass shade will create the look of melting ice that is fun and unique. Add fairy lights to clear glass vases, bowls and candles holders for sparkling, frost like ambient light.
Create the ultimate ice palace feel using luxurious upholstery on your seats, stools and furnishings. To create a statement occasional chair select pale ice blue velvet or satin fabric and partner with a crisp white or silver painted framework for a sleek and frosted appearance. Upholster chrome framed stools or white painted dining chairs with soft white fabric or shimmering silver satin for a bright and illuminating finish.
For a cosy ice palace ambiance that is perfect for the winter months then cover your pouffes and footstools with luxurious white and pale grey faux fur fabric that will give a rich opulence to your living room interior.
Add lots of cushions and throws to your chosen room to add colour and texture that will soften the crisp interior colour scheme and create a cosy space in which to curl up and relax. Select pale blue and crisp white velvet and satin cushions and add snowflake, sequined or lacy patterns for an eye-catching focal point on a crisp white sofa or bedding set.
For a warm and welcoming feel then select white knitted cushions, silver metallic designs and faux fur throws that will give a luxurious and rich finish to your home with a hint of classic Nordic charm.
When selecting accessories for your ice palace interior; opt for glittering and sparkling items that will create a focal point on a selection of white or silver painted furniture. Gorgeous winter storm lanterns can be accentuated with a large white pillar candle or some LED fairy lights for added frosted sparkle.
Crystal vases, ornaments and glass photo frames will compliment the ice like nature of the decor and will look wonderful against a coloured feature wall. If you are feeling crafty then you can create a snowy focal point by decorating old wine bottles with white paint and then glue some fake snow to the exterior. Add a selection of fairy light entwined twigs and use as a centrepiece to your dining table or as an alternative to a lamp on a side table or plinth.
