Cozy Home Decorating Ideas for Winter

 

By Liz Hekimian-Williams, Giftsprings.com

 

When it gets cold outside, don't you just love the feeling

you get when you snuggle up with something warm

and cozy?

 

What if you could create that same warm feeling when you’re

inside at home, just by adding a few choice home decorating

accessories? Well, you can!

 

Here are several cozy home decorating ideas to help you

and your guests feel warmer at this time of year.

 

1. Move to Florida! Nah, just kidding.   :)

 

2. Get out your favorite throw or fleece blanket, or buy a new

one, and place it on your sofa for cuddling. During the daytime

or when not in use, you can drape it on the back of your sofa

to enjoy the pattern or picture on it and add a bit of "warmth"

to your room.

 

3. Get that fireplace going that’s been inactive all year. And

if you don’t have a fireplace, it’s a great time to get some

candles glowing in your home.

 

4. Add the scent of cinnamon, vanilla or other "warm"

aromas to please you while you’re indoors. Try a scented

candle or use a fragrant oil in an oil warmer. Or, cook up

some treat that will please your tastebuds and fragrance

your home as well. You can bake some cinnamon rolls or

enjoy some spiced hot cider, for instance.

 

5. Add pillows and fluffiness. There are many types of

decorative pillows you can add to your living room, family

room, and to your beds. These are good accessories that

add a cozy feel to your rooms and they also are just plain

fun to use- under your head, over your legs, hugged

between your arms, they actually do help to keep you

warm besides those throws you’ve gotten out.

 

6. Even if you don't move to Florida, you can still transport

yourself to a tropical climate and start anticipating spring

by adding a flowering plant or some cut flowers to your

kitchen or dining room table. Include some palm tree low

wattage lamps by your reading nook or on your nightstand.

Get a CD of some Jimmy Buffet island music and enjoy

relaxing to those tropical tunes.

 

So let the right textures, sights, scents and sounds hug you.

And let your imagination take you to warmer places and

no cares.
