Warming Up For Winter

When the season’s change and the temperatures start to drop, it’s time to start thinking about

adding warmth to our interiors. During the colder months when we love cosying up on the sofa with

a nice glass of red wine, our homes should reflect that same sense of cosiness.

By making a few simple changes, you can easily evoke those feelings of comfort that we all crave

when the mornings become chilly and the cooler evenings start creeping in.

Here are our top styling tips for adding warmth to your interiors…

Rugs and Runners

Rugs and runners in timeless neutrals and soft textures will instantly add warmth to your home. Add

them to transitional spaces (such as hallways), living areas and bedrooms to set a welcoming tone as

well as adding warmth under foot.

Cushions, Throws and Blankets

Make sofas, occasional chairs and beds more inviting by adding in cushions of varying textures and

layering throws in neutral tones and earthy colours. Invest in a thick, chunky knit blanket to drape on

furniture during the day and keep on hand to snuggle under in the evening.

Lighting

Dim the lights and place table lamps, floor lamps and candles around your home to create soft

pools of light and enhance the cosiness of the room.

Natural Materials

Incorporate natural materials such as timber, jute and linen in your furniture and décor. Simple

additions like baskets and tan leather pieces will bring warmth to your space.

Warm Earthy Tones

Clever use of colour will easily warm up your spaces….think neutrals, rust, clay, olive green and

mustard to name a few. Add these in cushions and throws, bed linen or even decorative items to

create that warm aesthetic.

Cosy Spaces

Create a cosy reading nook with a chair that you can sink into. With the right mix of cushions, throws

and a reading lamp, you can create a space that instantly transports you to a place of easy relaxation.
