It can be difficult trying to decorate and design your home in any given season as you will largely be influenced by the colour palettes and stylistic moments of that period of the year.

By choosing fluid and transitional design throughout your home you can create a space that can easily match and look great, no matter the season, and where small decorative touches can be swapped out and changed to fit the feel of the time of year.

One of the main ways you can create a space that suits any season is to go for neutrals or muted colours for your walls, ceilings and flooring.

While you may be tempted to go for bold brights or moody darks, these are often more associated with certain times of the year and may feel our of place or out of style during other times of the year.

By building a muted, neutral colour palette as your base you can then add and change your furnishings and decorations to match the mood and create a space that is changeable, adaptable and versatile.

For example, a room with white walls can accommodate any colour combinations of throws, cushions, decorative vases and candles and artworks, whereas a room which has a fixed colour scheme cannot be as easily changed and adapted.

Another great time for creating a space that is transitional and flexible is to choose houseplants and foliage which are suitable all year round. This will help to ensure your greenery stays green regardless of the time of year.

Having indoor plants which are seasonal can make your home feel dull and lifeless during their ‘off’ seasons and you may find yourself replacing plants more frequently, or simply getting rid of them altogether.

Choosing greenery which is suitable for rising and falling temperatures and both the sunny and snowy times of year is a great way to maintain consistency and tie the home together all year round.

Another key point to keep in mind when trying to create a space that is suited for both summer and winter is to maintain flow throughout the home. While it can be trendy to create entirely separate spaces with different themes, consistency can help to unify a space.

While this doesn’t mean every room must be a carbon copy of the previous and next, it does mean having a consistent colour scheme or design theme may be more helpful.

For example, sticking with a luxurious, modern style throughout the home can make it feel more put together than if you choose to have a modern kitchen with a retro bathroom and traditional bedroom.

Flow can help to make a space feel more universal and can help to prevent certain rooms from feeling more suited to particular times of the year.

Having a variety of throws, pillows and artworks which can be easily swapped out is a great way to switch up your space without having to redesign completely depending on the season and these items can often be easily stored when not in use as well.
