With the chill of winter quickly approaching, now is the time to pick out some cozy home décor items. By creating a warm and inviting space indoors, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy the season to the fullest. It doesn’t matter if you’re curling up with a good book or enjoying the company of friends and loved ones. With these cozy decorating tips, your home will become a winter haven of peace and comfort!
Cozy Home Decor - 15 Ideas for Every Style
1. Chunky Knits and Cozy Blankets
This season, we’re all about chunky knits and thick blankets. Yes, they’re warmer and great for snuggling up on the sofa. But this type of texture also adds dimension to your home aesthetic. Sherpa blankets are perfect for the cold weather, but we also love the look of a super plush faux fur one, too!
2. String Lights
One of the easiest ways to create a cozy home is by adding ambient light. Say goodbye to harsh, overhead lighting and hello to soft glows! We really love the look of string lighting, especially around the ceiling or over your bed frame.
3. Plush Area Rugs
There’s nothing worse than walking barefoot across a cold floor! Make sure your feet stay nice and warm by laying out a plush area rug. We recommend choosing a tufted design with a high pile that’s nice and cozy!
4. Textured Pillows
When it comes to building a cozy nest, you can never have too many pillows. But this season, look for pillows with different textures. Faux fur, looped knit, and metallic yarn are just a few examples of materials that will create a snug retreat.
5. Fireplace Decor
Instead of lighting a fire in your fireplace, turn that space into a decorative canvas. Add seasonal elements like green garland and pinecones to create a swoon-worthy area in your home. Bonus points if you find a garland with twinkling lights! Or if you still want to use your fireplace, you can put up a decorative fireplace screen for design (and safety, of course!).
6. Fake Fireplace
Don’t have a fireplace of your own to decorate? Then why not get a small electric fireplace to add atmosphere to your living space? Not only does it have a realistic flame effect, but it actually functions as a heater. That way, you can enjoy the warmth and beauty of a fireplace without the effort!
7. Velvet Accents
Velvet is one of those textures that instantly elevates any space. It’s sophisticated and also soft to the touch (which is perfect for a cozy home!). Look for a velvet ottoman or blanket, or go all out and invest in a velvet chair or loveseat.
8. Floor Cushions
One of the biggest mistakes you can make is focusing your décor efforts only on the wall and table decorations. You should also make sure that you have plenty of comfy areas on the floor to hang out in the evening. That means adding in a few poufs or floor cushions to create that layering look.
9. Table Centerpieces
Don’t forget about decorating the top of your dining room table or coffee table! Whether it’s with foliage and pumpkins for autumn or greenery and berries for winter, you can really liven up the room with a centerpiece. A nice table runner and placemats can also be a nice touch!
10. Plants
Plants are a great addition to your home for many reasons. Not only do they add a pop of color, but they also improve air quality and reduce stress! Those are things that are especially important if you’re spending more time at home in the colder weather. So why not pick out a few potted plants for your space? You can even create your own succulent heart to give you a fun project to work on.
11. Layered Bedding
For many people, their bed is their oasis. Instead of your basic sheets and comforter, create a sleeping haven with extra layers. Flannel sheets, wool blankets, and tons of fluffy pillows will help make your bed a place you’ll never want to leave.
12. Candles
Lighting a few candles can immediately make your room a million times cozier. Pick up a few candles in your favorite scent (something seasonal like Christmas cookies or pumpkin and chai). Or opt for a scent-free candle if you just want to enjoy the flicker of warm candlelight.
13. Metallic Decor Pieces
Things in gold, bronze, or silver reflect light and add shimmer and a sense of warmth to the room. There are so many metallic objects to buy, but we like candlestick holders, mirrors, and vases.
14. Fake Snow
Even if you’re hiding from the cold weather, you can still enjoy the majestic beauty of winter with fake snow. A little bit of glitter snowflakes or even a dusting of snow spray can transform your home into a winter wonderland.
15. Textured Wall Hanging
There’s nothing wrong with traditional framed wall art, but we think that textured wall hangings are so much prettier! If you want to add more boho vibes to your home, consider a macrame hanging. They are surprisingly easy to make using a few simple materials like cord, beads, and a wooden rod! But if you prefer the store-bought route, then you can find some really stunning pre-made wall hangings online, too.
Decorate on a Budget
These are just a few tips to help you make your cozy home winter-ready. Don’t be afraid to play with colors and textures, or to experiment with some budget-friendly decorating ideas. At the end of the day, it’s important to create a space where you feel comfortable and at home. With your own personal touches, you’ll be able to enjoy this season in your cozy sanctuary to the fullest!
