Winter's Best-Kept Secrets: How to Cozy Up Your Home
CHASE AWAY THE WINTER CHILL
Transform Your Space with Cozy Comfort!
No. 2: Nature brings warmth. During those colder months, it's likely many plants aren't thriving outside. Everything holds that bare-bones appearance, which leaves cold, empty space. Our brains associate organic materials, like wood, foliage, fruits, and vegetables, with warm weather because that's when they grow! So, when the outside lacks a natural glow, bring the warmth inside by adding something organic to every room. No. 3: Fluff it up! And finally, there is no feeling cozier than a soft blanket or our pet's fluffy fur against our skin. We want to feel enveloped by these fluffy things, so a great way to make your space cozier is to switch out those thin throws or beaded or smooth pillows, and opt for softer textures. Choose towels and blankets you feel like you can sink into!
Starting now and into the next few months, the one thing most places have in common is a chilly outside temperature. In fact, in January 2023, the average temperature in the U.S. was 35 degrees F! So, it's no wonder most people stay inside where it's toasty, and part of the enjoyment in doing so is that cozy feeling a warm home in a cold winter can bring us. But what if, despite your heater running, your home doesn't feel all that cozy? Feeling cozy can involve blankets, hot chocolate, or crackling fires, but everyone's preferences differ. Here are a few key things anyone can do to up the cozy factor in their space this winter. No. 1: You have a cold home if you have a cold floor. By this, we mean if you don't have rugs on your hard floors, you're losing out on some major cozy points. Rugs make you feel warmer and more comfortable when your feet land on something other than ice-cold tile, and rugs make rooms appear fuller!
By applying these three pillars of cozy living, you can create an indoor space you'll never want to leave this winter.
