Creating a Cozy Room for the Winter

05 Jan Creating a Cozy Room for the Winter

The New Year is officially here and that brings with it the colder weather.  That means snuggling up on the couch and reading a good book or Netflix and chilling in one of your favorite rooms.  So how do you create a cozy room for the winter?  Check out the helpful tips below to create the perfect cozy room that you can enjoy all year long.

1. Blankets, blankets and more blankets:  Keep throws and blankets around the room, from having them on the backs of couches to inside an ottoman, accessible for people to grab.  Nothing says cozy like a nice warm blanket.

2. Create a Reading Area:  There is just something about a good book and a blanket that says cozy.  Creating an area where someone can just relax and read is a great way to create a space filled with warmth.  Think of the space under the stairs or even just a reading chair in the corner of a room to enjoy.

3. Add Textiles:  Additional rugs, quilts and throws can really warm up a room.  Rugs can really make a room feel intimate, especially when you have dark hardwood floors in your space.  Taking the time to add these details can definitely add some comfy touches.

4. Throw Pillows:  The layering of throw pillows is another way to create an intimate feeling.  Adding pillows to a bed, couch or chair is another added detail to create the perfect touch of warmth to a space.  These personalized pillows from Nest are some of our favorites.

5. Mix Patterns:  Adding different and unique textures throughout the space can create both a quirky and cozy feel.  Think of wall paper or different patterned rugs, blankets or fabric around the space.  This mix and matching can create a very comforting and cozy space to enjoy.

There is nothing like staying in and staying warm in a space that you have taken the time to create and make your own.  These are just some of the many things you can do to create a perfect cozy space for the whole family to enjoy.
