Find comfy furniture
How will you know it’s the chair, or sofa for you? Test it out, and if you see yourself spending the whole Saturday afternoon there, either reading a book, sipping coffee or cuddling up with someone, then you’ve found the one. These ultra-comfy couches will definitely bring out the couch potato in you! You can also enhance your couches with these totally snuggle-prone items, DEELAND Pack of 2 Faux Fur Plush Decorative Throw Pillow Covers Fuzzy Striped Soft Pillowcase Cushion Covers for Sofa Couch Bedroom 18×18 inch
Once you’re done choosing your cozy little day bed, pick your perfect drapes! Hang up curtains like Central Park Ombre 85% Blackout Room Darkening Window Curtains for Bedroom Drapes Heavy Linen Texture 8 Grommets Gradient Print Cream White to Pink Curtain for Living Room 50" x 95", 1 Piece to control the natural light coming into your room. In choosing the color, it depends on what you want to achieve: use light shades to make your room look more spacious, and use darker and warmer shades to make it look cozier.
Texturize but keep things light! Keep your room looking nice and toasty by adding furry rugs, carpets, seat covers, or throw pillows. But don’t limit yourself to faux fur – you can also have leather chairs, distressed wood tables, and velvet curtains for a dynamic effect. Check out these items by Ciara- Safavieh Adirondack Collection ADR125B Grey and Cream Modern Area Rug; Ashler Soft Faux Sheepskin Fur Chair Couch Cover Area Rug; Loloi II Grand Canyon Area Rug.
Also, let the light in – but not too much. Don’t use harsh flourescent lights as they can kill the mood. Instead, have multiple sources of soft light, like floor and table lamps, and even candles or a fireplace. You can check out some of Ciara’s picks for mood lighting like- Henn&Hart FL0014 Modern farmhouse seeded floor lamp or Yankee Candle Large Jar Candle Salted Caramel
Warm it Up! Veer away from bright colors and opt instead for warm tones like yellow, orange, and brown. These colors make a space feel more intimate and cozy. You can try these earth tone décor selections to highlight your warm hues. Simplify Linen Folding Storage Ottoman; Acanva Solid Velvet Soft Decorative Throw Pillow.
Aside from opting a toned down color palette, warming up a room also needs layering! Layering doesn’t only work for your wardrobe. Cover your bed or sofas with a comforter or soft throw and then plop on different sized pillows to make them look inviting. You can also have your blankets on display; they serve as both decoration and wonderfully useful items that you can use on a chilly night. Here are some layering ideas- Sweet Home Collection 100% Fine Cotton Luxurious Basket Weave Blanket; Kevin Textile Set of 2 Decorative New Luxury Series Merino Style Christmas Off-White Fur Throw Pillow Case; AmazonBasics 5-Piece Light-Weight Microfiber Bed-In-A-Bag Comforter Bedding Set.
