Even though we still have some beautiful days ahead of us, the winter collections are gradually arriving and (almost) making us want to be there. For this back-to-school season, Studio McGee interprets winter 2024 in an ultra-cozy way and offers us warm and inspiring atmospheres.
Discover the new winter 2024 collection imagined by Studio McGee.
Studio McGee inspires us with its winter 2024 collection
You certainly know Studio McGee: in addition to creating beautiful projects all over the United States, Shea McGee and her team are featured on Netflix as well as being the authors of two books.
As soon as it was released, I rushed to order this book. It is a beautiful source of inspiration, and it is full of good advice on interior design. I recommend it for all decor enthusiasts!
For many people, winter is synonymous with solitude and sadness. But Studio McGee does not see things this way.
What strikes me immediately about this new collection is the perfect balance between comfort and sophistication. Studio McGee has managed to capture the essence of winter by combining soft materials with timeless lines and warm colors. Earthy tones, soft grays, and creamy whites dominate the palette, creating a soothing atmosphere ideal for facing the cold of winter.
How to create a warm interior for winter?
If you are wondering how to create a cocooning interior for winter, follow these very simple tips.
Favor warm colors
You can use a warm white or a beige on your walls, which you can warm up with even stronger shades like brown or terracotta on furniture or accessories. This can be a velvet sofa or simply a few decorative items.
Opt for natural materials
We keep repeating it: natural materials have the ability to bring character and texture to a room. So try to favor wooden furniture (my favorite woods are Oak and Walnut), marble, or any other type of natural stone like travertine. Textiles also play an essential role in creating ambiance. For your curtains, throws, and cushion covers, think of materials like linen, hemp, or wool, which are perfect for enhancing the style of your room.
Mix patterns
Decorator Shea McGee has the art of combining floral patterns with stripes and tartans. It may seem surprising, but the result is always stunning! It creates rich and strong personalities, far from the sanitized decors found in some brands.
Play with lighting
In winter, the days are short, and this effect is mainly what is most feared. What if this year you decided to go against the grain and take advantage of this low light to create soft and dimmed atmospheres? You just need to rely on different types of lighting: a large pendant light above the coffee table, one or two table lamps placed in the bookshelf, a floor lamp installed near the sofa, and you’re all set!
Pay attention to details
Because details make all the difference, don’t hesitate to play with an accumulation of your favorite objects to create a unique universe that reflects your personality. You can place them on your coffee table, in the bookshelf, or on the mantel of your fireplace.
