Winter Home Tips For A Cosy Space

When winter hits, it often hits overnight and suddenly your whole house becomes a cold, harsh place to be. If you haven’t yet prepared your home for the cold season now is the time to do so - and you can do many things to get your home feeling warm and cosy. 

So take some time this weekend to cosy up your home and turn it into the perfect space to enjoy your favourite tv and films on the sofa. 

Get Christmassy 

We know it’s not December yet, but with the way 2020 has gone so far, we could all do with a little festive cheer in our lives. Take the opportunity now to get festive and bring some Christmas cheer to your home and make it cosier. Hang fairy lights, play around with garlands, and bring out the cosy blankets and cushions for the sofa. Create a warming and fun space this week that your whole family will be happy to enjoy for the festive period. 

Assess your heating system 

It is important to ensure your house is warm enough during winter and that your heating system doesn’t suddenly pack in when you need it most. Call a local hvac company and assess your heating around the house. You could install extra radiators or update the ones you have, and make some key changes to ensure the house is warm and cosy all season long. 

Invest in blankets 

Blankets are the epitome of winter comfort at home. There are many amazing blankets you can buy online or at homeware stores to brighten up the space as well as provide a comfy layer for your legs. Don’t scrimp on your blankets - and buy a few different colours and patterns to make the most of your winter space. 

Enjoy tealights 

One simple way to make your home feel warm and cosy in seconds is to light some candles and dim the lights. Rather than turning on your main living room light at night - swap for a lamp and some well placed candles instead. Tealights are cheap and they bring soft light and heat to your space, creating a relaxed and cosy atmosphere. 

Use warm colours 

If you want to make your house feel cosier and warm this winter, why not invest in a warm toned colour for your walls? Colour can make a huge impact on the look and feel of your home, and a rich red or berry tone will bring warmth and a sense of relaxation to your space. This coupled with warm accessories is a brilliant way to make your house feel warmer and more welcoming in the winter. 

Get cooking 

Great smells always make a big difference to your home, and the scent of a stew or cookies in the oven is a brilliant way to bring a sense of warmth to your house. Plus, when you have the oven on this will naturally heat up your home so it’s a win win! 

Use these easy tips to make your house cosy and warm this winter.
