Warm & Inviting: How to Create Cozy Spaces

Warm & Inviting: How to Create Cozy Spaces

Baby, it’s cold outside — and now’s the perfect time to make your home extra-cozy inside! Whether you just moved into a new space or you’re looking to hit the refresh button on an old one, winter is the perfect season to create a home that feels warm and inviting. And the best part? You don’t need to go overboard with time or money to get the look and feel you want; you can achieve amazing, ultra-comfy results with just a few simple (and affordable) swaps. From eye-catching textures to oh-so-soft accessories, here are a few of our favorite ways to create a cozy space for winter and beyond:

Start with lots of texture

Amping up the texture in your space will add a lot more visual interest and warmth. You can incorporate textures in a lot of different ways: through bedding, pillows, window treatments, art, light fixtures, and even rugs. Go for super-soft design, like the Milan Beige Area Rug, for instant cozy vibes. Or try out a different eye-catching material like jute. This Yellowstone Braided Jute Rug is beautifully detailed and totally classic.

Can’t decide which direction to go in? Get the best of both worlds by layering the two styles on top of one another! By placing a natural fiber rug down first, and then adding a smaller cotton rug on top of it, you get double the style and double the texture. It’s a great way to elevate any and every space in an instant.

Go for warm tones

A lot of modern homes today feature white or gray as the main hue, and this can oftentimes make spaces feel a bit cold. If you’re looking to bring more warmth to a room, try incorporating warmer tones like beige, brown, maroon, orange, and red into your design. This can be done through paint colors, furniture, accessories, and more. We’re absolutely loving this Prague Brown Area Rug that showcases warm, chocolate hues. Play up those brown tones with pillows and throws to match, and you’ll have an inviting space in no time.

Switch your throw pillows

Speaking of pillows… One of the easiest ways to change the look and feel of a room is by switching out your throw pillows — and adding lots more of them! A telltale sign that your home feels warm and inviting is if guests feel comfortable and are able to relax. By adding softer elements like pillows and throws, it encourages friends and family to get comfy and cozy in your space.

Bring nature inside
