Winter is the perfect season to transform your home into a warm and comforting cocoon. As the days get shorter and the cold sets in, the soft light of candles and lanterns becomes a key element to bring warmth to your home. The flamingo style, with its clean aesthetics, natural materials and neutral tones, fits perfectly into this approach. It helps create a soothing atmosphere, where every detail contributes to a feeling of well-being. Find out how to use candles and lanterns to create a cozy atmosphere worthy of the most beautiful winter evenings.
The Flemish style is known for its ability to combine simplicity and refinement. It draws inspiration from raw materials, clean lines and sober colours to offer a timeless and elegant decoration. In winter, this aesthetic goes perfectly with bright accessories that create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
Candles and lanterns, emblematic of this style, diffuse a subdued light that softens spaces. They play on the contrasts between shadow and light to create an intimate and warm atmosphere, ideal for evenings by the fire or moments of relaxation after a long day.
THE solid wood candle holders or distressed wood are perfect for infusing your home with a rustic chic feel. Opt for hand-carved models or pieces with distressed finishes, which reflect the authenticity and simplicity of the Flemish style. Placed on a coffee table or console table, these candlesticks add character while remaining discreet.
THE lanterns in black metal, bronze or patinated brass bring a sophisticated and warm touch. Their slightly worn appearance fits harmoniously into a flamingo decoration, creating fascinating plays of light. Arrange them in pairs on a fireplace or on the floor to amplify the cozy effect.
Candles poured into jars in white or beige ceramic perfectly reflect the simple elegance of the Flemish style. Blown glass, for its part, diffuses light delicately, creating a soothing atmosphere. You can also opt for frosted or lightly tinted glass tealight holders to vary the light intensities.
The living room is the perfect place to create a cozy atmosphere. Arrange the candles of different heights on a coffee table or wooden tray to create a harmonious visual effect. Add a few lanterns to the corners of the room or near the sofa to diffuse indirect light.
For an even warmer effect, place some scented candles on shelves or a bookcase. Winter scents like cinnamon, orange or fir will bring a comforting olfactory touch.
In the bedroom, lighting should promote relaxation and calm. Choose ceramic candle holders on your nightstands, paired with white or ivory candles. metal lanterns can be placed on the floor or on a chest of drawers to diffuse a subtle and enveloping light.
Tip: opt for fairy lights to be inserted into large glass lanterns for a soft light ideal for winter evenings.
From the entrance, create a welcoming atmosphere by lining up lanterns of various sizes along the hallway or near the door. You can also hang wall lanterns to subtly illuminate the space and give a taste of the cozy atmosphere that reigns in the rest of the house.
For a winter dinner, bet on a light centerpiece by arranging candles of different heights on a wooden tray. Surround them with fir branches, pine cones and small natural decorations. Lanterns placed nearby add a chic touch and create an intimate atmosphere for your meals with family or friends.
If you have a fireplace, it naturally becomes the focal point of your room in winter. Arrange lanterns and candles in abundance on the fireplace mantel. To enhance the warm effect, place wicker baskets filled with blankets nearby, to invite you to relax by the fire.
By mixing candles of different sizes and tall and short lanterns, you create a captivating visual dynamic. Arrange these elements on sideboards, coffee tables or stair treads to subtly illuminate every corner of your home.
Creating a cozy atmosphere in winter involves simple but essential details. candles and lanterns in the Flemish style transform your interior into a true refuge of warmth and serenity. By focusing on natural materials, soft tones and subdued lighting, you give your home an atmosphere where it is good to meet up and enjoy the winter in complete tranquility.
