Ways to Make Your Home Feel More Cozy

When the cooler weather makes you want to curl up at home, you know it’s time to prepare your home for the winter months that lie ahead. Making a quick list of ways to play with color and texture is the first step to making your home feel cozy.

Before you dive into decorating, here are a few tips to help get you started:

Add dark colors. Put away the bright decor and bring out the darker shades instead. When you play up a room with deep reds, browns, and magentas, you’re reminded that there’s no place more comfortable than your very own home!

Mix and match. Don’t be afraid to mix things up. When it comes to materials, combining leather and fleece or velvet and cashmere can set the mood for the fall and winter months and invite you to relax with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book.

Layer it up. Stow away your sheer window treatments for heavy shades (or two different types of shades). Your curtains play an important role in decorating for the changing seasons - the color, length, material - every detail counts! When the weather is cold outside, thick drapes can help to insulate your home, providing more shade to set the mood for a relaxing afternoon or evening.

Roll out more rugs. Add more rugs in your home this season. If staying warm means adding more layers, then rolling out floor runners on your wooden floor and bathroom tile is exactly what you should do. The more carpeting you add, the warmer you will feel.
