Craving a cozy yet clean aesthetic? Look no further than Après-Ski. A French term translating to “after skiing,” this look was made popular in the ‘50s and ‘60s by Alpine skiers. It is now used as an umbrella term for post-ski activities (and their aesthetics) across the world—from the slopes of Chamonix, France, to Aspen, Colorado, and Hokkaido, Japan.

So, how exactly does this translate to interior design? It is all about coziness infused with classic ski-culture elements. Think bright happy hues, warm woods, nature motifs, and more. Check out these 14 Après-Ski items to get the snuggly look in your very own home this winter.
