Creating Seasonal Warmth
When autumn comes, we typically start the season when more and more time is spent inside. If you’re anything like me, it is nice to freshen up your rooms before the long winter sets in.
How can we add warmth to a room to make it more cozy when the temperature starts to dip? Here are several suggestions that I have found useful as I make my home ready for winter hibernation.
- Rich Colors: Reds, burgundies, and golds will transform a plain room. It is easy to add these colors with window coverings, pillows, throws, and rugs.
- Textures: Nubby fabrics, textured wool, and rugs are great ways to increase the range of textures you have in your rooms.
- Personalize It: Hang family pictures in unique frames to create one-of-a-kind decor.
- Candles: Candles add warmth – no question about it. There are even flameless versions that are made with real wax if you have pets or small children.
- Accessories: Look for accessories that are unusual. A few well-placed pieces work well and give your rooms a pulled-together look.
- Fabric: Add fabric window coverings to warm up a room – both literally and visually. Also add some bright pillows and comfy throws to create an immediate “cozy” in any room.
Any other ideas? I’d love to hear how you make your rooms cozy for winter!
