Nov 26, 2019
Winter calls for warmth and comfort, so if you haven’t already - it’s time to start preparing for the long, cold months ahead of us. Money can be tight sometimes but that doesn’t mean you can’t still have a beautiful, cosy home. If you want to make your home look amazing without spending a fortune, see our top tips on how to make it possible.
1. Add some throws, pillows and blankets.
Can’t afford a new sofa? Don’t worry! There are many stylish, affordable throws, blankets and pillows that will cosy up the feel of your home in a wink. If you are unsure of which colours to go for, get some inspiration from designs on your walls or floors. The more mismatched the better, experiment with different textures and fabrics for the maximum cosy impact.
2. Use soft lighting.
If you want to create a cosy atmosphere in your home, go for softer lights such as warm whites and yellows, instead of harsher hues. Soft lighting immediately makes a room more inviting and friendly.
3. Candles.
Candles are essential for anyone who is trying to add more cosiness into their space, they have the ability to instantaneously make any home feel warmer by casting a relaxing glow of light. They are the ultimate mood setter and another upside of them are the choices of delicate scents, all of which are available for pennies! If you like scents, you could also invest in essential oils or incense sticks for extra comfort.
4. Re-organise your furniture.
A few changes of your furniture can make a space feel more comfortable and it can also
help you save on heating bills. Bring sofa sets and chairs closer to the fireplace and away from doors or windows, don’t place them near a radiator as they will absorb heat. You may also want to add a rug in the living room for extra snugness.
5.Bring the outside, inside!
Winter isn’t a time to be spending excessive amounts of time outdoors but that’s not to say you can’t bring a touch of nature indoors. Having plants and flowers around your home will freshen up the space and feel more welcoming. Plant maintenance isn’t everyone’s favourite activity so why not consider faux plants as opposed to the real deal? They can look so realistic, guests won’t even know the difference.
6.Display things that say a little about you.
Fundamentally, feeling comfortable in your own home comes down to what makes YOU feel at home. Hanging photos of loved ones, artworks, quotes or symbols adds personality to any room and will create a more homely ambience in no time.
