The cooler months can make way for bold colour choices and textures that will make you feel cosy and comfortable all winter.   ### Minimalism is out, and considered maximalism is in. Your home is an expression of who you are and the things you find beautiful. After a few too many months cooped up at home in recent memory, the new trend is to show off your travel trinkets. Ceramics, wall hanging and your most recent travel purchases should all be taking centre stage.   ![Mid Century Living Area](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Mid-Century-3.jpg?width=1075&height=717&name=Mid-Century-3.jpg) ### Mid-century is still the design aesthetic du jour. The overall obsession with mid-century design isn't going anywhere. For winter, you can really kick it up a notch and add luxurious shag carpeted rugs. The soft long pile rugs scream warmth and suit mid-century designs' exposed timber and sleek lines.   ![Rounds dining table and textured chairs](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/EVANS_208-edited.jpg?width=389&height=519&name=EVANS_208-edited.jpg) ### Look and feel: Sculptural shapes, surfaces and rich textures. This winter, the trend is for round shapes, curves and textiles, and fabrics you can feel for rich sensory experiences. Rounded edges are the perfect choice for a warmer, cosier feel, don't be afraid to think outside the box for places to add curves; round throw pillows and area rugs are a cost-effective way to join the trend. For extra winter warmth, don't neglect fabrics as a great way to add luxury: felts, velvets and boucle are all on trend for the coming season.    ![brown and red lamps](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/ES_EC_05_0379.webp?width=388&height=582&name=ES_EC_05_0379.webp) ### Earthy tones The calming effects of earthy tones and their association with nature are one of the many benefits of this winter's colour trend. Earthy tones like browns, deep greens and dusty reds. Choose a few colourful statement pieces from candles, lamps or end tables to get the look for your house.    With a Swanbuild home, you have a wide range of choices regarding finishes, textures and colours of your new home.
