Continue reading for tips to make your home the most comfortable on the block this winter.

Layer Textures on Floors, Windows, and Walls

Texture is one of the easiest ways to make your living room cozier. Not only does it create a place for your eyes to land, which makes it more visually appealing, but it also creates warmth. For instance, putting a large rug on your wood, laminate, vinyl, or even your carpeted floor makes a place for cold feet and a different feel. It can also incorporate warm colors. Other ways to add texture include:

• Adding draperies over existing window treatments, including blinds, shades, and shutters.
• Putting throw pillows and blankets on couches.
• Adding shiny or metal decorative items.
• Pulling in potted plants.
• Adding wallpaper, tapestries, or artwork to walls.

Add Artificial Lighting

While natural lighting creates a welcoming and inviting atmosphere throughout the day, once the sun sets, and it sets early these days, having good artificial lighting is key. You can create mood lighting or select intriguing lamps, wall sconces, and chandeliers that complement your space. Hanging lights, like fairy lights, can also be a nice touch. Using warm yellow lights will make your home feel warmer than the cooler, white lights.

Incorporate Colors With Warm Undertones

Every color is either a warm color, which includes yellows, reds, and oranges, or a cool color, which includes blues, greens, and purples. Other colors have undertones that lean more toward warm or cool. For instance, a white with a little more red or yellow than blue will have a warmer tone. Consider colors with warmer undertones to create a cozy living room, even if you primarily use neutrals. To tell quickly, hold a pure blue or a pure red to the color and see if they clash with or complement it.

Introduce Insulating and Cozy Window Treatments

Make your home cozier by adding window treatments that are insulating and warm. Not only will this keep in the warm air to make your home cozier, but you can also select warm colors, textured materials, and fabrics to enhance the visual. They can also reduce outside noise, so you can block out blustery windows. Our most insulating window treatments include:

• Cellular shades, which use fabric cells that fill with air and press against your window to provide insulation.
• Roman shades, which use warm, layered fabric panels to create structure and a modern vibe.
• Shutters are inserted into the window frame, reducing gaps and increasing insulation with thick materials.
