As cold days creep in and the holiday season draws near, we often find ourselves wanting to cozy up at home. Here's some tips to make your living space winter-ready, whether you're planning to enjoy a snow-day or gather together with friends and family.
1. Merry and Bright
Nights get dark sooner in the winter, so take advantage of the season to create a cozy, warmly-lit space with a festive atmosphere!
-
Warm-toned lights will make a room feel more inviting and relaxing than a cooler light. Swapping out old lightbulbs for a warmer tone is a quick and easy way to change the vibe of your space completely.
-
Multiple smaller sources of diffused, indirect light can create a softer, gentler atmosphere than a single overhead light. Consider “layering” your light sources with table lamps, floor lamps, and other small light sources for a cozy look.
-
To get in the holiday spirit, especially for families with children, try some bright and cheery crafts! Luminary bags and decorated candle holders are popular choices.
2. Cozy Comfort
Consider refreshing your sitting areas–whether you’ll be entertaining friends and family by the fire, or simply want a comfortable place to settle after a long winter’s day.
-
Add a pop of color with an accent piece, or enjoy the rustic comfort of a leather recliner.

3. Deck the Halls
Changing up the look of a room with holiday décor is a fun activity for the whole family, and doesn’t have to break the bank!
-
Keep a box of timeless holiday decorations that can be brought out yearly–it creates a sense of tradition and nostalgia, as well as being budget-friendly.
-
Holiday arts and crafts are a fun activity for the family at any age, and are a great way to get into the seasonal spirit.
-
Invest in good-quality winter blankets and cozy pillow covers to bring out every year. Draping a chunky knitted blanket or fun patterned seasonal throw adds texture and interest, as well as being functional!
4. Chestnuts Roasting
Scent is an often-overlooked part of a home’s atmosphere. Bring the holidays to all your senses!
-
Candles smell great and add a lovely, natural seasonal glow. Pine and wood, sweet treats, warm spices, and sparkling winter scents are a great addition to the home.
-
If you want the scent without the flame, consider natural reed scent diffusers, essential oil room sprays, electric diffusers or low-heat wax melts, or scent sachets. You can even make a scented simmer pot with all-natural ingredients like cinnamon, clove, and orange peel.
-
Want your home to smell like sugar cookies and gingerbread, or warm, savory bread? Try baking! Not only will it smell festive, but you can share with those you love for a bit of holiday cheer.
5. Make It Yours
The best holiday home is one that belongs to you, and reflects what makes you happy. Incorporate personal touches, and consider decorating together with family and friends to make memories you'll remember for years to come.
