Ways to Make Your Home Cozy this Winter
What better time than winter to double down on the coziness of your home? From window treatments to custom bedding and area rugs, Rachel Brosky Interiors has what you need to create the coziest home.
Layer Textures
Lots of texture is essential for a plush, cozy space. You can add texture to a room by adding throw pillows, blankets, and a large area rug. If you want to up the texture factor on your windows, consider Provenance® Woven Wood Shades or Duette® Cellular Shades. Both styles have lots of sumptuous textures, and cellular shades even offer outstanding insulation to warm your home in addition to providing some fashionable flair.
Light a Fire
In your fireplace only, please! When the snow is flying, a crackling fire is the best way to keep warm. You can also place several candles in your fireplace if you don’t want to start a large, roaring fire. We should also mention that faux fireplaces offer the same benefit if you don’t have the real deal in your home.
Speaking of candles, they add a touch of comfort and warmth no matter where they are in a room, so don’t hesitate to place a few candles around your space.
Invest in Custom Bedding
Custom bedding makes your bed exceptionally comfortable. We suggest outfitting your guest bedroom with a new custom bedding set to make your overnight visitors feel more at home.
Choosing custom bedding ensures a perfect fit for your particular mattress and in the colors and fabrics you love. We ought to warn you that you may have trouble leaving bed in the morning when you’re wrapped up in the softness of custom sheets.
Warm Things Up with Light
The days are shorter in winter, so you’ll want to incorporate additional lighting into your home. Like texture, lighting looks its best in layers, so use a combination of overhead fixtures, track lighting, and floor and table lamps, or even candles. Use sheer shades to diffuse natural light throughout your room while the sun is still up.
Have Conversation Starters On Hand
Since you’ll spend more time indoors with your friends and family, having conversation starters handy will prevent awkward silences. Try displaying unique art books on your coffee table or swapping out your wall art for fresh pieces. You can also take a Saturday and freshen a space by painting an accent wall.
Bring Out Your Drapes
Drapes make a room instantly feel more welcoming and cozy. They have a dramatic, elegant aesthetic that invites people to sit and enjoy each other’s company. A glass of good wine tastes even better in the sophisticated environment of drapes. Drapery also provides exceptional insulation, so you’ll reduce your winter energy costs and have a cozier, more comfortable room.
