There are plenty of affordable ways to make your home cozy and inviting this winter without breaking the bank. From faux sherpa blankets to tweed furniture, simple changes like these will add warmth and charm to your custom home.
Bring nature indoors by adding touches of greenery. A silver urn filled with natural juniper branches serves as an elegant decoration on either a credenza or dining table.
Layers of blankets
Light linen sheets that are ideal in warmer temperatures won’t suffice during hibernation season; opt for layering flannelette sheets over your mattress for extra warmth and comfort.
Wintertime is an excellent opportunity to bring out family heirloom quilts for decoration purposes. Frame pieced squares or display the whole quilt as wall art!
Area rugs are an essential component of a cozy winter home. Place them strategically throughout hallways, bedrooms and living rooms as well as on any tables you wish to dress up with quilted table runners that not only look good but can keep bare feet from freezing too!
High-pile rugs
When selecting a rug for their home, pile height is an integral component. It determines its softness, luxuriousness and overall style as well as impacting their looks and overall appearance.
High-pile rugs are perfect for wintertime and can add cozy warmth to any room in the home. Crafted with long, plush fibers that feel velvety soft against your feet each morning, high pile rugs offer an inviting landing place for feet each morning as a warm and welcoming surprise! High pile rugs also work wonderfully in bedrooms providing an inviting place for feet each morning when arriving for bedtime!
Low-pile rugs feature a sleek and modern aesthetic, perfect for many different styles of decor. Low-pile rugs can even withstand more wear from children and pets than high pile rugs can. Low pile rugs make an excellent addition to kid rooms as their durability stands up well against everyday use.
Good lighting
Entering your cozy home can be one of the best feelings ever, whether you live in the suburbs, on the waterfront, or even the city – there are numerous ways you can make it feel warm and welcoming.
Lighting can help transform any space into an inviting home environment, so choose soft lamps over harsh overhead lighting to bring warmth into the room and increase coziness. Candlelight can add even more ambience.
Texture is another key factor when designing cozy home decor and design for winter. Be creative when mixing textures – think smooth surfaces mixed with rough ones, chic velvet, and fuzzy furs for example!
Plants
Create a cozy and relaxing home this winter by adding soft elements. These may include rugs, blankets or pillows which add texture and encourage guests to curl up close.
Make an impactful statement in any room with bright patterned throw pillows or an arrangement featuring winter floral themes on your mantle. Swap out your spring wreath for one that features pinecones, evergreen branches and moss for something even more festive!
Integrating earthy tones like clay, terracotta and burnt umber into your decor will help achieve that cozy aesthetic you desire. Use these hues as accent pieces or paint them directly onto walls for maximum impact.
Rearrange your furniture
As temperatures decrease, it’s time to switch out sisal and flat-weave rugs for ones that provide more insulation – wool or shag rugs will help retain heat while adding texture to any room they adorn.
Arrange blankets made of classic winter fabrics like fleece, wool and flannel on chairs, sofas and beds to stay warm this season. Keep extra blankets handy by stashing them away in baskets, trunks or ladders.
Display family heirlooms that provoke conversation, such as seashells collected during travels or an original poem written by your daughter. Displaying pictures on a mantelpiece or gallery wall also adds warmth and coziness into any home.
Quilts
Quilts add texture and warmth to your bed, with styles such as embroidery, applique, whole cloth patchwork and patchwork all being popular choices. Intricate details such as beads, buttons, decorative trim piping or sequins add an eye-catching finish for more whimsical effects.
Quilt blankets make a wonderful decorative accent on beds or sofas, as well as providing additional warmth during winter nights. Perfect for country, rustic and coastal decor styles!
Trends come and go, but cozy is here to stay. Hygge is an approach to living comfortably within your home no matter the season or occasion.
