**Try Dark Hues** - Light colors are great for opening up a room, but dark colors create a space that’s relaxing and enclosed, great for cozying up with a warm blanket.

 

**Adjust the Lighting** - Skip the overhead lighting. Use lamps to create a soft, warm glow. 

 

**Add Rugs** - Adding a rug will bring texture and contrast to the room, whether your floor is hardwood or carpet.

 

**Blankets – The More the Merrier!** You can never have enough blankets or throws. With an array of different tones, blankets are the perfect way to warm up both you and your home. 

 

**Throw Some Pillows into the Mix** - What goes great with cozy blankets? Fluffy pillows! Mix and match different patterns to add an extra pop to every room.

 

**Create a Reading Nook** - Find a spot by a window and add a bench seat or some comfy chairs. A great place to cozy-up and read a book with a cup of hot chocolate.

 

**Add a Personal Touch with Vintage Finds** - The more “lived-in” your home looks, the cozier it feels. Whether it’s an old rocking chair, cute nightstand, or some DIY décor, vintage items are a great way to make your home feel more homey.

 

**Show Off Your Book Collection** - Displaying your hardcover books gives your room relaxed vibes. Grab a book and curl up with some blankets in your reading nook.  

 

**Sprinkle in Some Florals** - Whether it’s a fresh bouquet of wintery flowers or floral patterns on your pillows, adding in floral elements will help you make it through the frosty weather.

 

**Display Family Photos** - Having large, blank walls can make your home feel cold and empty. Add photos of your family to bring you warmth and happiness.
