Here are 6 simple interior design hacks to transform your home into the perfect cozy sanctuary this winter.

Stoke The Fire
If you own a fireplace, then you’re one of the lucky ones this winter. Getting a fire on during the colder months is an effortless way to create a snug ambiance for you to enjoy. So this winter, make sure you’re stocked up on fire supplies to stock the fire at a moment’s notice.

Baton Down The Hatches
Half of the battle during winter is keeping the warmth in and the cold out. While keeping windows and doors shut helps with this, you can go the extra mile with some plush curtains. Swap out the thin summer curtains and go for more heavy-duty options. Not only will they help you keep warm, but thicker fabrics add to the cozy ambiance of winter.

Soften The Edges
When the days get darker, we rely on our home lighting to keep us going. And it can be utilized to create the snug winter atmosphere we’re going for. Think about layering up your lighting options. Rather than just using your overheads, opting for table and floor lamps will soften the edges. Get warm-toned bulbs if you really want to create a winter wonderland neighbors will be jealous of.
-
More Is More
It’s often said that less is more in interior design. But when we hit those colder months, the exact opposite is true. Especially when it comes to soft furnishings. Opt for thicker blankets and textured cushions to create an opulent winter home. And have extras on standby because you never know when you might need an extra blanket to snuggle into.
If you don’t have tonnes of room, style them in a basket or drape over furniture.
-
Warmth Underfoot
There’s nothing worse than cold feet in winter. And if your floor is bare, then that’s precisely what you’ll have all season long. Opt for larger, deep pile rugs that you can burrow your toes into for warmth during the colder months. You can even layer up rugs to create a room that you don’t want to leave.
-
Set The Mood
Half the battle of getting through winter feeling good is making the mood in your home a great one. And there’s no easier way to do this than by going candle crazy. They’re cheap to buy, and using them to light your living room will make you feel cozier than ever. Consider aromatherapy diffusers to create a beautiful smelling home for you to disappear into this winter season.
