Autumn is upon us, and with it, cooler weather. If cranking up the heater isn’t doing the trick to keep you warm and cozy, spruce up your apartment with a few finishing touches to add warmth to the space. Here are a few of our favorite tips for making your home feel safe and inviting.
Add A Lounge Chair To The Bedroom
Plush chairs are expected in the living room or study, but they’re not commonly seen in the bedroom. On the days when you just want to stay home and lounge the day away, a comfy chair in the corner of your bedroom is a great option for curling up without staying in bed. Leather chairs are perfect for exuding a laidback yet elegant vibe, but if leather isn’t your style, a cloth recliner is also a cozy choice.
Stock Up On Festive Throw Pillows
The holiday season is almost here, and it’s the ideal time to start prepping your residence for guests or adding fun décor. When the weather outside is gray and gloomy, it’s refreshing to come home to a living room that’s stocked with throw pillows in vivid colors. To celebrate the season, purchase a few throw pillows in eye-catching hues like bright red, metallic gold, or silver sequins.
Opt For Thick Curtains
To prepare your home for autumn and winter, make the switch from thin curtains to something more substantial. For a warm living room that feels like a hideaway from inclement weather, choose thick drapes to cover the windows. Deep colors like royal purple or burgundy work especially well for making a room feel extra comfy.
Display Your Favorite Quilts
If your coziest quilts have been packed away in a closet, pull them out and drape them over the sofa, or even a side table. Patterned quilts make excellent winter décor, and it’s also handy to have them out in the open so you can grab one whenever you’re feeling chilly. Covering the couch with a colorful quilt or handmade blanket is also an effortless way to keep the sofa clean.
Light Scented Candles
Once you’ve decorated your home with one of the options above, pull the look together by displaying a variety of scented candles. When you’re looking forward to cozying up for fall, nothing compares to the warm glow of candles placed on the dining room table; comforting fragrances of vanilla cookies or spiced apple are great choices for the colder months.
