Snug like a bug
Winter is the perfect time to curl up with a book, drink some hot chocolate, and watch a Christmas film. While the blizzards outside are causing havoc, it’s nice to stay warm and cosy. Our mindsets change according to the season. We love to spend time outside in the summer and throw open the windows, but as the nights grow darker and the weather becomes harsher, we want to curl up on a sofa and enjoy a fire. If it’s time to update your seating arrangements, consider a Vintage Sofa. Choose a Vintage Sofa from the Vintage Sofa Warehouse.
You can make your home warm and cosy in many other ways. In the winter, a sofa cover in a rich fabric in festive colours will encourage you to snuggle in. Cashmere throws or leopard prints with fur will do the trick as well and make you feel very luxurious.
You can soften up bare floors, polished wood, or even stone with a luxurious, thick rug. You can choose from hundreds of rugs, from the cheaper and brighter to the more expensive Persian rugs which will last many years. Your feet will be grateful!
When creating your holiday hideaway, consider the smells. In spring and summer, light fragrances are ideal. Winter calls for something more intense. Cinnamon, vanilla, fig, and pomegranate are all good choices. Spices and oranges will also create a wintery atmosphere in your home. There are a lot of retailers that sell reed diffusers and candles. Candles have the additional benefit of creating more light, and subconsciously a feeling of warmth.
Lighting is a very important part of creating the mood you want in your home. Even if you do not suffer from winter blues, it is important to get as much natural light as you can. You can control the lighting by using adjustable controls. It can be bright when you’re working, but soft and relaxing when you want to relax or cuddle up.
The human equivalent to hibernating is making our homes cosy and warm. You can use seasonal accessories to make your home more light and airy in the winter without having to change it drastically. This includes gold, red, and green ornaments as well as thick drapes, throws, and scatter cushions in warm velvet or faux fur on your sofa. These decorative items can be stored easily until next winter.
