A WARMER WINTER: MATERIALS AND HUES THAT TRANSFORM YOUR HOME
When winter’s chill sets in and daylight fades early, our homes become more than places — they become havens. At Nordic Knots, we believe the secret to a truly warm and welcoming winter lies in the layers you live in: the rugs underfoot, the curtains that frame your windows, the bedding that invites you to rest.
A winter home truly begins from the ground up. Our wool rugs are designed to bring instant warmth and a sense of calm grounding to any room. Wool is naturally insulating, soft underfoot, and beautifully resilient — a material that feels right for the season while staying timeless year after year. Our collections such as Grand and Mohair makes it easy to set the tone, offering a wide range of refined, muted and easy-to-live-with shades. From soft, airy neutrals to deeper, moodier hues, it lets you play with color in a way that feels both modern and enduring.
If you don’t feel drawn to a solid shade, choose from textured designs like Boho, Park or Zero Basket, if you want a little more depth and tactility. If you prefer something less dense, our signature flatweaves in warm neutrals, muted greens, or rich browns bring quiet sophistication without overwhelming your space.
A simple trick is to size up. A larger rug makes the room feel more generous, more cohesive, and warmer. It hosts all furniture and creates a safe haven for you.
Winter light is one of our favorite things — gentle, low, and fleeting. The right curtains help you make the most of it whilst adding richness to any room. Our wool and linen drapes are designed to filter light softly during the day and add a cozy, cocoon-like feel at night.
The heavier shades as Jacquard and Velvet bring texture and warmth while keeping the look refined and interesting. When drawn, curtains help insulate the room too — a small detail that makes winter nights noticeably more comfortable. Dare to play with color, especially for the Holidays!
The bedroom is where winter softness becomes a daily ritual. It’s the first place you feel the day and the last place you leave it — which is why we design our bedding and decor to bring a sense of calm, clarity, and quiet luxury to this space.
Our percale or sateen bedding is the perfect starting point. Crisp and timeless yet comforting, it has that just-washed, lightly textured feel that makes sliding into bed at the end of a cold day genuinely restorative. The beauty of percale is in its breathability: cool when you need it, warm when layered — a material that adapts naturally with the season. Sateen is luxurious and soft, spun from pure Egyptian cotton, which feels both indulgent and inviting.
Once the bed is made, add a linen bedspread for a relaxed depth, or a patterned wool throw draped casually at the feet, for some personality and playfulness. For the extra picky one in need of some extra warmth, include the cashmere throw — as stylish as it is soft.
Color plays a quiet but powerful role in the bedroom. Echo the tones from your rug or curtains to create a sense of harmony and cohesiveness. Pillows are an excellent way of subtly adding rich colors and variety depending on the season or mood you wish to create for yourself.
Remember, winter invites us to slow down. The bedroom is where that invitation becomes real. With a few thoughtful layers, your home can feel warmer, softer, and beautifully lived-in this winter.
