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.

How to Decorate Your Home With Autumn Colors

When the leaves start to change, you’ll find yourself wanting to add those warm, rich tones to your home. Looking for a little inspiration to cozy things up for autumn? Try these four fall colors:

Red. The color red is known for its ability to raise a room’s energy levels. This makes it a great hue for spicing up conversations in your entertainment spaces, like the living room and dining room. While you don’t necessarily want to overwhelm the room with this color, adding little touches here and there can put you in the mood for the harvest season!

Orange. “Pumpkin” and “Butternut Orange” are perfect shades to brighten up your space. From flowers to plush accessories, there are many ways you can subtly incorporate this color into your home. And when you pair orange with neutral colors, you can really feel like you’re immersed in the heart of autumn!

Yellow. Shades of yellow aren’t just meant for summer. In fact, you can utilize this color to add joy and excitement throughout your home during the fall too! But of course, we all know yellow can be glaring, which is why mixing it up with warmer tones is the best way to go.

Brown. What would autumn be without neutral shades of brown? Whether it be a light or a dark color, using a combination of beige and chocolate can soften the look of a room and give it a more rustic feel - perfect for this time of year!

Easy Ways to Warm Up Your Home for Fall

While we’re sad to see summer go, we can’t help but feel excited for fall! Aside from the beautiful foliage outside, we love the idea of turning your home into a cozy space. Between warm colors and lots of layers, here are a few of our favorite ways you can change up the decor in your home this season:

Mixing Pillows. Since you and your family will be spending more time indoors soon, it’s a good idea to change the color of your couch accessories. For example, swap your bright yellow and blue pillows and throws for rich, warm hues instead. Red, brown, and orange tones (like pumpkin) are all great options to put you in the spirit! 

Warming up layers. Layering your rugs not only adds extra cushion and warmth below your feet, but it also sets the tone for the fall and winter months. When it comes to creating layers, there aren’t any set rules - just add as you feel looks and feels best.

Updating shades. Sheer curtains are great for warmer months, but once fall rolls around, it’s time to bring out those thicker layers! Adding more insulated shades made from bamboo or other natural materials can warm things up a bit - especially when you choose the right color and pattern.

Switching up bedding. Stow away your throws and quilts and bring out the heavy down comforter in return. This is one way you can save money on your electric bills while staying comfortably warm this winter. However, if you love your quilt too much to toss it aside, you can fold it up and lay it across the foot of the bed just in case you need it!

Lighting. Set the tone for fall by setting up candles throughout your home. By adding candles (especially scented ones) you can create a cozy atmosphere and ease tension after a long, cold day outside.
