Designers Share 15 Cozy Colors You Should Embrace This Winter

Interior designer Becky Shea is all about drawing inspiration from the outdoors. "It's really important for us to think about what's happening in nature seasonally, even when everything is in hibernation, so we can implement a little differentiation into the homes we design," she explains. She loves this rich shade of burgundy for wintery looks since many of the flowers and berries in harvest — dahlias, juniper and cranberry, for example — bloom in this hue.

She offers advice for those who feel a bit noncommittal about the color: "If painting a space in this hue is too bold, stick with accessories that complement a lighter palette. This will give your space that seasonal refresh you're looking to achieve without a permanent commitment."
