When the weather starts to cool down, we repeatedly start to move many of our daily activities indoors. To enjoy the indoors, it’s important to create a place that feels inviting. The good news is that it doesn’t need to be expensive or time-consuming to have a cozy fall home. With just a few simple tips, you can transform each room of your Steel Creek house feel comfortable and inviting.
Cozy Décor
One of the best places to start when creating a cozy fall home is with your décor. Simple changes can make a big difference. Choosing the right fabric can bring a sense of warmth and comfort to any living room or bedroom. For maximum coziness, try adding a faux fur throw, some plush throw pillows, and soft layered linens to your bed or couch. One more great place to add a touch of extra comfort is the floor. If you’ve been using low-pile rugs on your floors, consider switching to something a bit plusher. Soft, fluffy rugs can bring an extra layer of coziness to your feet and your home, at the same time.
Add Warmth with Light
As the days grow shorter, it’s time to begin adding some warmth to your home with lighting. By adding a few different light sources of the right kind, you can make your home feel snug and cozy. Candlelight is an excellent option for setting a mood. But open flames can be dangerous. Instead, opt for LED pillar candles, which give off a warm light without the fire hazard. Another great way to soften the lighting and produce a cozy fall home is to switch to light bulbs in warmer shades of white. White light bulbs come in a variety of shades, from bright arctic white to almost yellow. By changing to a warmer shade, you can make your home feel warmer every time you turn on the lights.
Get Cozy with Color
Another easy way to make your Steel Creek home feel cozier is to switch up your color palette. In deep, rich shades from red to brown, autumn colors can invite a sense of warmth to couch covers, tablecloths, and bed coverings. One more great place to add a cozy feel is your windows and walls. For curtains, choose something in a warm shade to add depth to your rooms. Walls can also lend warmth and color by hanging some of your favorite photos or works of art in creative ways. Wood tones in frames and furniture will also add their bit to the comfortable look and feel of a room.
Invite Life In
Sometimes, you can make your home feel cozier by doing things that bring you a sense of pleasure and joy. Baking some of your favorite treats can add delicious smells and a comfortable feel to a warm kitchen. Brewing some hot drinks or playing board games at the table are other great ways to create a cozy autumn home.
