Winterize Your Home

Get set for the cool season and snuggle up in cozy home fashions. By Karmen Green

The seasons are changing, summer is over, and it’s time to kick it into high gear and get set for winter. As the temperature drops, you’re certain to be spending more time indoors hibernating with your honey. Follow these simple tips to winterize your home style:

Get Red-y
Create a warm and cozy feeling in your living room by adding luxurious throw pillows to your couch and chairs. Use warm colours like deep reds or rich browns. Complement this look by hanging a thick throw blanket over your sofa or loveseat for those chilly winter nights.

Burn Baby Burn
Candles can add life to any room. For ambiance, set a votive candle as your dining room centrepiece to bring some added warmth to the room. A few candles in your bedroom can also help ignite passion, and create the perfect romantic getaway from the cold outdoors.

Winter Wonderland
Turn your bedroom into a relaxing retreat by incorporating some colourful fabrics into your decor. For a warm, inviting space with a sophisticated appearance, add some extra pillows to your bed. For ultimate comfort, make sure you have a nice duvet paired with high thread count sheets. Don’t be afraid to spend a little extra on your bedding. The higher the thread count, the more comfortable your sheets will be. What better way to say “I love you” than snuggling under warm, soft sheets?

Beyond the Bedroom
An accent rug can add a rustic touch to any room and will also minimize any cold drafts you may feel across the floor. Don’t be afraid to experiment with mirrors either—they’ll give the illusion of a larger space, while adding an elegant touch. Consider using mirrors as backdrops for shelving units to create depth and bring life to the space.
