We're always looking for ways to make our Winnipeg Airbnb feel more welcoming and comfortable for guests. This season, we've made some thoughtful decor updates that we're excited to share—from plush blankets that add warmth during chilly Winnipeg winters to colorful throw pillow covers that bring fresh energy to the space, and a shift to navy linens that create a soothing, cohesive look throughout the home.

Cozy Blankets for Winter Comfort

Winnipeg winters can be cold, and there's nothing quite like snuggling up with a soft, plush blanket after a day exploring the city. We've added several new high-quality fleece blankets throughout the space—on the living room couch, in the bedrooms, and even a few extras for guests who want that extra layer of warmth.

These blankets are lightweight yet warm, making them perfect for curling up on the couch while watching a movie or reading a book. They're also machine-washable, which means we can keep them fresh and clean between guests. There's something special about having a cozy blanket within reach that makes a space feel more like home.

Guest Comfort Focus: We've strategically placed blankets in multiple locations so guests can easily grab one whenever they need that extra warmth. Whether you're relaxing in the living room or settling in for the night, comfort is always within reach.

Colorful Throw Pillow Covers: A Fresh Pop of Colour

One of the easiest ways to refresh a space is with throw pillows, and we've gone all in on this update. We've added numerous new throw pillow covers in coordinating colours that bring life and energy to our living spaces. The beauty of pillow covers is that they're easy to swap out seasonally or when you want a fresh look—and let's be honest, you can never have too many throw pillows.

These new covers feature soft corduroy textures and boho-inspired striped patterns that add visual interest without overwhelming the space. They coordinate beautifully with our existing decor while adding that pop of colour that makes the space feel fresh and inviting. The covers are machine-washable and maintain their vibrant colours wash after wash.

We've placed these pillows throughout the living room and bedrooms, creating cozy nooks where guests can relax and feel at home. The mix of colours and textures adds depth to the space while maintaining the mid-century modern aesthetic that defines our home.

Navy Linens: A Soothing, Cohesive Choice

We're gradually transitioning our linens to navy, and the results have been wonderful. Navy is a sophisticated, soothing colour that creates a sense of calm and relaxation—perfect for a space where guests come to unwind. But beyond aesthetics, navy linens offer practical benefits that make them an excellent choice for hosting.

Navy towels and linens are easier to maintain and keep looking fresh. They coordinate beautifully with other navy accents throughout the house, creating a cohesive, thoughtfully designed space. When everything works together harmoniously, it creates a more polished, intentional feeling that guests notice and appreciate.

Design Harmony: By choosing navy as our primary linen colour, we're creating visual continuity throughout the space. From towels to bedding accents, the cohesive colour palette makes the entire home feel more thoughtfully curated and put together.

We've started with hand towels and face cloths, and we'll gradually expand to include more navy linens throughout the space. This thoughtful approach to colour coordination makes laundry and turnover more efficient while ensuring everything always looks fresh and coordinated.

Why These Updates Matter

Every decor choice we make is with guest comfort and experience in mind. These updates aren't just about aesthetics—they're about creating a space where guests feel truly comfortable and cared for.

  • Comfort: Plush blankets provide warmth and coziness during Winnipeg's cold winters
  • Freshness: Colorful pillow covers bring energy and a sense of renewal to the space
  • Cohesion: Navy linens create a soothing, coordinated look throughout the home
  • Practicality: All items are machine-washable and designed to maintain their quality over time

Creating a Home Away From Home

When guests walk into our space, we want them to feel like they've arrived somewhere special—a place where every detail has been considered with their comfort in mind. These decor updates contribute to that feeling by adding layers of comfort, visual interest, and thoughtful design choices.

Whether it's grabbing a cozy blanket for movie night, sinking into a comfortable couch adorned with fresh, colorful pillows, or using soft navy towels that feel luxurious and well-coordinated, these small touches add up to create a memorable guest experience.

Our Philosophy: Great hosting is about the details. It's about anticipating what guests might need and creating an environment where they can truly relax and feel at home. These decor updates are just one way we're continuously improving the guest experience.
