Let It Snow, Let It Glow: Warming Up Your Winter with Cozy Home Touches
“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.” - Edith Sitwell
After taking down our Christmas decorations we tend to feel that our spaces are a bit bare and cold. Transform your home into a cozy winter haven with these simple tips!
Firewood: If you are lucky enough to have a wood-burning fireplace, neatly stack firewood on the hearth or use a stylish metal rack with a leather sling.
Bedding Bliss: Switch to cotton sheets and wrap yourself in the comfort of a snuggly, fuzzy blanket (or two!). It's all about creating a haven of warmth.
Fluffy Throws Galore: Dive into the warmth of winter by scattering your favorite fluffy throws everywhere! Adorn the back of the couch, the accent chair in the living room, the slipper chair in your bedroom, and even your office chair.
Fresh Blooms or Plants: Elevate your indoor space with fresh flowers or a lively plant. Opt for herbs to add a delightful scent that fills your home.
Moody Ambiance: Set the winter mood with rich, dark colors. Swap out vibrant hues for more deeper muted tones in pillows, throw blankets, artwork, vases, and other decor elements.
Candle Delight: Embrace the winter glow with candles. Place them in areas without lamps to bring warmth to overlooked corners of your home.
Textural Symphony: Add texture for that extra coziness! Think waffle knits, alpaca blankets, cable-knit pillowcases, and boucle throw pillows. Layer it on for the ultimate winter embrace!
As we settle in to this winter season, let's soak in the warmth and coziness of our transformed spaces. Whether it's the flickering glow of candles, the soft textures, or the charm of fresh flowers, these simple touches create a haven that wants you to unwind and enjoy the chilly days ahead.
