Winter is finally here and the temperatures have suddenly dropped from the 35 degrees we were used to over the summer. Now is the time to relax and get cosy. Below we have listed some tips on how to make your home cosy this winter.
Throws and Blankets
This is one of the best ways to make your home cosy this winter. Faux fur and wool are great for decorating your living room and sofas and adding that cosy feel to your home. They are perfect for snuggling into after a long day at work. Faux fur is a great way to add a touch of glamour to your home this season.
Use Warm Colours
Having a warm colour palette throughout your home in the winter months is a great way to make your home feel cosier. Add textiles, accessories, and art that have a warm, rustic look to them. Colours such as burnt orange, sage, olive, and mustard fit in with almost every neutral colour scheme and give your home a lovely, warm feeling. If you are planning on using saturated shades make sure to balance them with plenty of warm white to avoid a heavy look.
Candles Work Like A Charm
If you want your home to feel warm and cosy. Buy some candles! Candles are essential for making your home feel homely. They add a cosy glow to the place, perfect for warming the place up. Candles come in a range of shapes, designs, and scents. Find one that suits your aesthetic and you will see the difference that having a few candles dotted around the place can make.
Add Layers Of Light
Create layers of light that are perfect for reading, movie watching, having visitors over, etc with some table and floor lamps. Use dimmers to create some sort of ambience on your overhead lights and ceiling fixtures. Layers of light add a warm and cosy feel to any room and are perfect for the winter months.
Update Your Bedding
Linen makes great bedding in the summer months, however, throughout winter you want something much cosier. For winter you may want to consider a fabric like flannel. Fabric such as flannel or jersey helps to hold the heat in (which is exactly what we need throughout winter). Whilst you are updating your bedding, why don’t you add a fluffy blanket or throw to the end of your bed to add the cosy feel that you have going on?
