Home Design Ideas: How to Make Your Home Warm & Cozy for the Winter

It may be cold outside, but that shouldn't stop any homeowner in transforming his or her homes into a warm and cozy haven.

Elle Décor listed some tips on home decorations that can make any home look and feel warm.

One of the tips from the site is adding a dose of fur in the house. Placing fake fur on the bed, couch and even kitchen chairs adds a tactile element of luxury and glamor to the room.

Another tip is adding a touch of gold in the mantel mirror or table top pieces as it adds a warm vibe perfect for the weather. Layering is also recommended in decorating the house for the winter. A layered rug will warm the floor and people can sit down on it while sipping a warm drink.

Lush Home also recommends using rich warm colors along with neutral color tones and calming cool hues in the room to complement the weather. The site suggests combinations of light yellow paint and rich red colors or deep brown reddish shades to create a fabulous look inside the room that is also warm and cozy.

A simple way to bring new colors into the room for winter is by adding decorative fabrics and small décor accessories like vases and candle holders. Rich and heavy fabrics are recommended to make the home soft and warm. Make sure to remember this when looking for winter covers for throw pillows.

Aside from that, a mood lamp is another simple way to give any room a winter feel. Switching light lampshades for its darker counterparts can add a super warm glow inside the room.

Lastly, using dark drapes is also an easy way to give any room the warmth it needs. Replace light-colored drapes with black, gray or blue ones to add more warmth inside a room.
