This winter's color and the Bala to match it
Winter is fast approaching, not to let a gloomy mood set in, you need to make your interior shine. To do this, repaint your walls with the season's flagship colors is in order. You also need to adopt this winter's cult decorative object: light fixtures. Light fixtures brighten up the interior and bring warmth, especially the fixtures and accessories from Hoopzi. Let's take a look together at the must-have colors, fixtures and accessories to have a modern, chic and warm interior this winter 2023.
Trendy winter colors for your home
In winter, rooms are sorely lacking in brightness. That's why you need to revisit light-colored paint. Dark-colored walls absorb light, so interior space seems restricted. Here are the leading colors to adopt for your interior design this winter:
Le bleu
Blue is a color rich in nuance. Turquoise blue is the trend for this winter 2023. It gives a warm feel to walls. Turquoise blue pairs perfectly with light cream or earth tones. As earthy is a warm tone, the combination of the two reinforces the warm, comforting card that's missing in winter. Deep blue, on the other hand, enhances the contemporary decor of a home. In all cases, blue blends well with natural materials and colors.
Caramel and cinnamon
As explained above, warm, earthy hues are all the rage in winter. Terracotta sets the tone with its variant shades. Caramel, a subtle blend of brown and yellow, brings warmth to a room. Cinnamon, a blend of earthy and red colors, brings a touch of elegance, perfect for a contemporary home. Objects and materials that go well with these colors are gold and natural wood.
Le vert
Green brings cheer to winter whether for walls, accessories or furnishings. Khaki is the color of the moment. We're adopting it in all shapes and shades. It brings warmth and elegance to your interior. Then there's olive green, reminiscent of the forest and a welcome relief from winter gloom. Vegetal hues create a positive atmosphere and reconnect the home with nature.
Professional color mixing
International color specialists like Levis and Boss Paint have set this winter's color trend. You can choose from Brave Ground color and Circle of life. Brave Ground is a subtle blend of beige and brown. This color inspires confidence, stability and courage. It combines with beige, yellow and ochre. Circle of life is a blend of soft, warm tones such as gray, white and beige. It's a deep color inspired by the beauty of imperfection, simplicity and nature. Pro colors marry raw, natural materials with asymmetrical shapes.
Winter, then, will have no shortage of color this year. And when we talk about color in a home we immediately think of lighting, what about trends on this side?

This winter's lighting trend
The luminaire of 2023 is no longer a simple light, but well and truly a design object. It's a must-have in contemporary interior design. This winter, lighting fixtures are more than ever in demand to bring warmth and create atmosphere in your home. There are four models to choose from to express your personality: floor lamp, suspension lamp, table lamp and wall lamp.
The floor lamp in a natural version
The floor lamp brings more light into a room. It's a lamp on a high stand. There are two types of floor lamp: the halogen floor lamp and the floor lamp with shade. A true all-rounder, floor lamps are ideal for living rooms and bedrooms alike. Floor lamps are appreciated for their well-defined curves. The trend of the moment is the natural effect. Wooden or rattan floor lamps are the preferred choice. Light shades such as pastel, white or grey go perfectly with this type of floor lamp.
The bohemian version of suspension
The hanging lamp is a ceiling-mounted luminaire. It's ideal for lighting large spaces like the living room. Thanks to its crystal pendants, the suspension light spreads throughout the room. The result is a balanced, coherent lighting scheme. This winter's hottest trend in pendant lighting is the bohemian version. Favor natural materials like rattan or bamboo combined with the graphic codes of designer or retro pendant lights.
The vintage-style table lamp
The table lamp is a timeless classic that evolves with the times. It's a touch of originality brought to a desk or bedside table. It's the ultimate room decoration. In particular, there are touch-sensitive versions that no longer require a switch, as all you have to do is touch it. The table lamp trend for winter 2021 is vintage. Leading colors are gray, brown, emerald green and off-white, with gold or copper details.
The wall light minimalist version
The wall sconce is used to illuminate the contours of rooms. It diffuses indirect light. This winter, sconces are simple and discreet. And perfectly integrates the bathroom as well as bedrooms with the neon lamp for a uniform white light. Another trend this winter: wall sconces with multiple bulbs for an artist's dressing-room effect. There are also designer sconces with geometric, structured shapes for a sober, uncluttered style.
In winter, prefer compact fluorescent or halogen bulbs. For a relaxing room, low-energy bulbs are ideal for taking full advantage of the play of light without breaking the bank. For a brighter light, opt for halogen with the light closest to daylight.
For a warm rendering of your interior in terms of lighting fixtures, you need to adopt the right accessories.
