How to Make your home cozy for fall with Our interior designs
It is the time of year when I want to cozy up the house. Below are a few of my cozy finds to help you snuggle in at home for the colder weather.
I think you will agree with me that late fall, early winter is the perfect time to start “nesting” at home. When the days get shorter and colder all I want to do is snuggle down in the house in front of the fire with a good book and an extra large, comfy throw. It is the time of year when I want to cozy up the house. Today, I am sharing simple tips on how to make your house cozy this winter. I have also included a few of my favorite “cozy” finds online to help you bundle up and nestle down this winter.
Add Texture with Throws & Blankets
Throws are the greatest accessory when looking to create a cozy space in your home. Whether made of cashmere, faux fur, tartan plaid, wool, or knitted. You can find many options that will be just the right fit to create a cozy nook at home. They are meant to be well-used. Light in weight they can easily travel with you room to room. A throw gently draped over an armchair or sofa cushion is the signal that a room is prepared to offer the maximum comfort to guests.
Swap your throw pillows out for warm hues
& soft textures
Big, fluffy pillows should not only be used as decoration in a home, but can be used as the ultimate cozifier.
Don’t just neatly arrange them on the sofa, toss them around the room. To make a cozy room, add them to nearly every upholstered piece in the space. Heck, they can even be tossed on the floor. Keep it casual, pillows are the greatest cozifier in a space. Think of all the spots you would like to curl up and take a quick winter’s nap. To that spot, add a big, feathery pillow.
Bring in Accents with Natural Textures & Bling
Oversized woven baskets add a rugged texture to any space. Use them beside the fireplace to store firewood, beside the sofa to house extra throws or pillows or even beside the front door. It is the perfect place to store winter boots or hats and gloves when it’s cold outside.
In my opinion, every room needs warm, natural textures in the fall. A cozy room is no exception. Nothing fancy, understated is fine. Many of the “cozy” ideas mentioned throughout this post have been simple ways to incorporate texture and warmth into the space.
Contrast all of the natural textures with a little bit of bling to add contrast. Bling is sleek, and minimal. It adds a nice contrast to the soft, warm, cozy items above.
During the winter months, I prefer to keep add bling with warm tones. Think soft, worn gold, rose gold or iron metals. Shimmering candle sticks are a simple way to incorporate the “bling.” You only want to add a touch, just enough to offset everything else. It doesn’t have to be a metal. I would also consider a glass vase with natural sticks a bit of understated bling. Anything to seal the deal, put the icing on the cake, you know what I mean.

Although I dread the fact that cooler days are coming, this is a great reminder of how we can add a touch of warmth to our homes.
