Swap in Warmer Throws and Pillows
Sofa feeling scant?
Textured pillows instantly cozy up seating whether you opt for new pillows or simply change your pillow covers seasonally.
Think boucle, cable knit, velvet, and faux fur for snuggle-worthy materials.

Nubby knits and faux sheepskin are also great to drape over chairs and benches that might otherwise feel bare.
For extra seating, you might always invest in larger pillows or poufs to place on the floor.
Store away any extra pieces in a pretty basket to easily change the look up.

you could even place extra seats around the hearth during the season to create warm conversation nooks for guests.
This can be as simple as swapping your bulbs and lampshades.
you might also outfit your lamps in frosted glass or semi-opaque shades to further diffuse the light.
So, why not swap your window treatments?
Extend the curtains from floor to ceiling if possible to amp up the drama and maximize the cozy texture.

Infuse Warm Hues
While it might seem obvious, this tip cant be understated.
Jewel tones and rich reds also make beautiful additions to neutral palettes for a festive, lived-in look.
Dont forget how textures can contribute color, too.
Wood tones in furniture or kitchen accessories instantly create a snug, cabin-like feel.
Plus, warm metalslike brass and copper accentsare easy ways to infuse coziness.
it’s possible for you to incorporate them in baskets, mirrors, and even artwork.
