In order to survive a blistering cold Illinois winter, your home needs more than a six-month supply of coffee and a collection of blankets and sweaters. If you plan on hibernating until spring, your home needs to feel homey and inviting. Luckily, winter décorations mean more than keeping your holiday wreaths and décor until March. The key to creating a stylish winter home is incorporating textural layers and seasonal colors with natural elements, touches of greenery and the strategic use of winter white.
