20 DIY Winter Décor Projects to Brighten Your Home

Decorating for winter can add joy to your home, and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Look for ways to repurpose items in your home or choose holiday décor that can be transitioned into winter décor. Here are a few tips to help you create winter DIY projects with ease.

• Repurpose Christmas Décor – Look for Christmas décor that can be transitioned into winter décor. Buying after the holiday is over often allows you to purchase at a deep discount.
• Use White/Off-White – Even if you live in an area that doesn’t get much snow, snow is synonymous with winter and all shades of white create a bright, clean winter look.
• Add pops of color – Sapphire blues, silver, and touches of red, purple, and green look great in winter décor.
• Include Greens – Leftover pine branches, green leaves, and eucalyptus look (and smell) great when added to winter décor.
• Use winter motifs – Think snowmen, snowflakes, cardinal birds, evergreen trees, and more.
