Chumasande MatiwaneColour choices are fundamental to the atmosphere of a room, and the right colour combinations are perfect for creating a sense of comfort throughout the winter days. The colours you choose will have a huge impact on the mood of your space.
Burgundy with olive green
Burgundy is a deep, luxurious colour that complements the earthy nature of olive green. This combination evokes a sense of elegance, creating a space that feels grounded, refined and sophisticated. Burgundy adds warmth and richness, making it perfect for more intimate spaces such as your bedroom, study room or dining room. The olive green itself brings soothing hues, offering a timeless finish.

Earthy tones of brown and beige
Decoration in earth tones is perfect for making your room appear more spacious and creating calm spaces. The colour combination works in any room, being the main character of the room. When using these two colours, make sure the colours are not of the same hue. One has to be lighter and one darker. Cushions and blankets in soft beige textures can also help create a cosy feel.

White and with soft neutrals
In some places, winter is often associated with snow and frosty landscapes, making white an ideal base colour. Opt for whites rather than clinical whites to avoid making your home cold. Soft neutrals like beige, taupe, and cream can complement white beautifully. These shades create a clean, airy feel while adding a layer of warmth. Add neutral-coloured throw blankets and pillows for extra cosiness.

Rich browns with yellow hues
Rich browns combined with an ochre of yellow are incredibly cosy for autumn and winter. The yellow tones help to reflect the winter sunlight and filter it back to make the room warmer. Pairing it with wood brown does wonders as the colours complement each other without being too overwhelming. Brown-tone furniture can also be used to combine the colours. You can even use the rich brown as part of your accent wall.
Embrace the season and let your home be a reflection of the serene, warm and calm winter retreat.
