I am rounding up some ideas for decorating the apartment this winter. I have been thinking about changing some of the wall art and adding something that really shows our winter mood. One thing that I am thinking is incorporating rich colors like purple, burgundy and forest green into a theme that will represent the cold, snowy weather outside. We have so many things in our home right now that are grey and black, so I want to create a fun balance with some deep hues while staying warm inside.
Based on my mood board, I would like to incorporate a few other accessories like throw blankets and candles. I love the idea of having a few candles out at all times to add a cozy glow to the space.
To create a little bit more balance in the room, I would like to incorporate some dark wood furniture pieces to contrast with my white bedding and light grey walls. This could be just about anything from bookshelves or cabinets to armoires or TV stands.
I have also been thinking about how to incorporate our new family heirloom into the winter design. My husband’s grandmother gave us her dining table last week and it is beautiful! My only concern with incorporating it into our space is that it is already very dark wood – we need more
A mood board is a visual representation of a particular mood or feeling. It can be used to set a mood for a room, such as creating a warm, inviting atmosphere in your living room, or it can be used to establish an overall theme for something like an event or party.

The other day I was thinking of some cinnamon, and I thought: Why am I thinking of cinnamon? It’s winter, so why not make a little mood board with lots of cozy, winter spice pictures.
I couldn’t find any already made though, so decided to make one myself. It was fun! So I decided to share it with others!

The process of creating a mood board is a great way to brainstorm ideas and themes that you would like to include in your design.
You will be able to discover new ideas by looking at the color combinations, textures and other designs that appeal to you.
Once you have your mood board, you can use it to create a color scheme for your design project. You can also save it so you can refer back to it when needed.
So, where do you start? First, select the colors that appeal to you. Then add textures and other items that catch your eye from magazines or websites that are appealing. Don’t worry about whether or not these items go together at this point; just select items that appeal to you. If you’re working on a winter project, look for images of snowflakes, ice cubes and hot cocoa in magazines. Include any drawings or sketches that represent what you want in the room.
You’re going to want to store your spices in the pantry, rather than out on the counter, which is where they belong. Some of us have a little shelf in our kitchen that fits them perfectly. In my case, I have a little spice cabinet that holds all of my spices and herbs. However, I’ve been trying to get rid of clutter, so I decided to make a mood board for them with pictures of things I love about winter.
My mood board has pictures of snowflakes, pine cones, holly leaves and berries, cinnamon sticks and cloves. It also has a picture of the woods because I love going on hikes when it’s cold out.
I’m not sure why, but there seems to be something magical about putting together a mood board. Maybe it’s because you are thinking about what you like about something before you actually do it?
Spices in a recipe are like embellishments in a design. They add subtle flavor and visual interest. For example, cinnamon pairs well with oranges and reds for a spicy-sweet combination. It also pairs nicely with greens such as spinach and kale, to create a more complex dish.
