Warm Up Your Home with these  Decorating Ideas

 

Your home is your haven. In the winter, it's nice to come inside to escape the blustering cold. And you want your home to feel warm and cozy. Here are some easy ideas for warming up the atmosphere of any room in your house.

 

Texture

 

Texture will affect the atmosphere of a space. Smooth, shiny surfaces evoke a cold feeling. Avoid stainless steel and laminate furniture. Stay away from satin and other shiny fabrics. Glossy tile will also add to a chilly feeling for your feet. area rug

 

To add warmth, bring in layers of thick, cozy texture. Throw a soft rug over a cold floor. Lay one or two chenille throws on the sofa. Choose wool, velvet, or other heavy fabrics for your window coverings.

 

Light

 

The lighter the room, the warmer it will feel. Adding light is a great 

candles

way to combat the cold feelings of winter. Get a few extra lamps, open the shades, and turn up the overhead lighting. Full spectrum light bulbs will add additional warmth and cheer to a space.

 

Candles are also lovely in winter. The glow of the flame gives off a cozy warmth. The right scent can also evoke snuggly emotions. Perhaps a baked apple pie scented candle?

 

Color

 

Choose warm colors from the palette if you want a warmer

feeling in your home. Reds, yellows, and oranges are the warmest hues.  
If you don't want to paint the walls, you can add colorful accessories. Get a few extra pillows and blankets in warm colors. You can always swap these out as your needs change. The extra layers will also add to the warmth of the room. 

 

Layout

 

In the winter, you can pull your seating pieces away from the walls and closer together. The closeness will suggest a comfortable conversation area, perfect for snuggling up with family and friends.

Frequently Asked Questions 
* Is it cheaper to repair a shade or blind or just replace it?

 

Of course it depends on what is wrong with the shade or blind. More often it is just the cord that breaks. We can restring your blind for a lot less than you can purchase a new blind. Usually the repair can be made within 24 hours unless the cord is an unusual color. If that is the case, we would need to order the cord then make the repair. If anything else seems broken, we can diagnosis the problem and give you a quote for the repair.

Monthly Tips
  • Have "winter" pillows and "summer" pillows.  Now that the holidays are over get out the winter pillows.  Warm colors in russets and mochas will warm a room.  Add a chenille texture or a busy pattern in warm colors to brighten the room.
  • Change out the area rugs.  Larger rugs with texture will make a room more cozy.
  • Change out posters on your wall.  Darker, warm colors for winter and lighter, cool colors for summer in the different posters.
