Now is a better time than ever to remodel, so read on for 5 awesome winter inspired interior design styles!

1. Monochromatic Interior Design Styles

Monochrome is a huge trend this winter.

If you’re thinking that black, white, and greys are boring, think again! Spice up your monochromatic interior design by choosing unique stripes, patterns, and geometrics that pop!

You could even get creative and add a splash of color to your monochromatic design, by choosing a paint color for your ceiling !

2. I Choose You, Navy Blue!

If monochrome just isn’t right for your home, navy blue is a solid color choice both as an accent or a base color.

Perfect for winter, navy blue can evoke a sense of mystery and be reminiscent of winter’s dark, twilight skies.

You can incorporate navy blue into your room’s walls, furniture, light fixtures, or accessories.

3. Inspiration From Nature

Adding natural elements to your interior design is a great way to add the flair of any season to your home, especially in the winter!

Consider bringing in elements like unfinished wooden tables, woven lampshades, rougher linens, and wicker furniture.

The natural look of off-white, tan, and deep wood colors will add a rustic seasonal vibe to any room.

4. Evergreen and Velvets

Speaking of nature, evergreen colors are definitely on trend when it comes to paint choice. Dark greens definitely evoke the warmth of the holiday seasons, especially when paired with other earthy colors.

If greens aren’t your cup of tea, consider different trend pairing soft velvet fabrics with warm pain colors like cranberry, dark orange, chestnut, or maroon colors.

5. Bring the Outdoors, Indoors!

Houseplants are definitely on trend for the winter season and Christmas trees don’t need to be the only greenery in your home!

Consider completing your remodeling with a collection of plants as a subtle decorative element.

Choose the appropriate pot in a simple black or white color to blend with your color scheme.

If you want to start small, aloe plants or low-maintenance succulents are a great place to start!

Alternatively, you can go all out by decorating the corners of your rooms with banana trees or Norfolk island pines.

Houseplants help to filter the air, increase humidity (especially important in dry winters), and even lower background noise!

Seasonal Painting Tips for Healthcare and Retirement Homes: Maintaining Fresh and Safe Spaces

October 31, 2024

Creating a welcoming, clean, and safe environment is central to maintaining healthcare and retirement homes in the Willamette Valley. These spaces are more than buildings; they’re where residents and patients find care and comfort. So, every detail in the physical environment, from the lighting to the layout, should reflect your commitment to their well-being. One key yet often overlooked detail? Interior painting. When done thoughtfully, it goes far beyond aesthetics—it shapes the atmosphere, reinforces safety, and contributes to a sense of care that’s felt by everyone who walks through the door. Understanding the Needs of Healthcare and Retirement Homes It goes without saying: healthcare and retirement facilities have unique painting needs that go beyond aesthetics. High-traffic areas experience regular wear and tear, and frequent cleaning can cause paint to degrade faster than in typical environments. Additionally, maintaining a sanitary and safe environment is paramount. This is why painting should not only be about beautification but also about durability and hygiene. Seasonal painting schedules allow healthcare and retirement homes to address their most critical areas—like hallways, communal spaces, and entryways—at the right time, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum effectiveness. Seasonal Painting Considerations It’s all about having a predictable maintenance plan, simplifying your to-do list and keeping your facility looking its best throughout the year. 1. Spring/Summer: Refreshing the Exterior and Common Areas Spring and summer are ideal seasons for tackling exterior painting projects. The mild weather conditions mean paint will dry faster, and there’s less risk of moisture interfering with the application. Also consider brightening up communal spaces, such as dining areas and lounges. This can lift spirits and provide a fresh, inviting atmosphere. Seasonal colors like pastels or light neutrals can help create a calm and pleasant environment for residents. Summer into early fall is an ideal time for exterior painting too. The lower chances of rain and consistent temps allow for larger projects to be completed faster and with less interference from the weather. 2. Fall/Winter: Focus on Interior Updates The cooler months are ideal for tackling interior projects. During fall and winter, healthcare and retirement homes often operate at a more predictable pace, making it a good time to schedule interior painting updates without significantly disrupting daily routines. Winter is a great time to refresh patient rooms, hallways, and bathrooms with more durable finishes that can withstand regular cleaning.
