Hi Coco, I Love adding cozy things to my space after the holidays. Warm fluffy blankets, cozy pillows. I also try to use things from nature for my holiday decor so I don't have to take it all down right away after the holidays and can take it down gradually as I feel like it. I would figure out what you are drawn to (what makes you happy anytime that you see it) and add that to your decore. If you add some things that you really enjoy looking at it won't seem so dreary. This post might give you some ideas if you are unsure of what to add. Hope it helps... https://www.recreateddesigns.com/2020/01/how-to-figure-out-your-decor-style/

Hi Coco, I noticed the same thing with my house, I have ordered some LED light strings to hang in the kitchen and living room, just to make the days a bit brighter while we wait for spring to arrive these lights will stay up all year long.

I found this a great time to decorate. I need to post a project or two but homemade giant dice, chevron arrows and huge dice are two bookcase decor items.
If you are freshening up a new coat of paint.
But I think my favorite is a wall mural.
