SHF: 5 Ways To Make Your Home Feel Cosier

Add a touch of comfort and style to your winter interior and let it envelop you in cosiness and warmth. Not sure where to start? Here are five ways to up the cosiness factor in your home this season, with some of our favourite picks from SHF.

Choose plush upholstery

When selecting furniture for your home, be sure to consider the textures and fabrics that will add to the comfort level of your interior. Softer materials and plush upholstery add instant warmth and depth to larger rooms, that may otherwise feel cold and clinical. Soften up your favourite pieces with shaggy throws and scatters. Furthermore, play around with different textures to keep the warmth inside. We love plush velvets and suedes for added texture in a room.

Change the mood with lighting

The right lighting can set the tone for a cosy interior. During the cooler months, candles and the glow of a fire burning under a mantel will instantly add ambience. Furthermore, choose to create layered lighting in your space. Achieve the look with a mix of lighting. This can include pendants, table lamps and a beautiful overhead fixture such as a statement chandelier. These are a sure way to create a comfy, warm and inviting atmosphere in any space.

Create cosiness underfoot

Let’s not forget the floors! Style your floors with gorgeous rugs and create a layered look from the ground up. A rug is a great way to add a visual statement piece to any room and it can tie into the overall design of your interior. In the cooler months, a beautiful rug will double as much-needed warmth to your floors and will radiate cosiness throughout your room.

Keep it organic

Nature is a wonderful source of design inspiration and a great way to create a cosy and inviting ambience in any room. Choose natural materials like wood that will add warmth to your room. For a homely feel, add greenery and plants to bring vibrancy to your space and add organic textures like wood, rattan, cane and stone for a rustic, cosy interior feel.

Create a warm colour palette

Swap out summery tones for a rich, warmer palette of colours. Deep red, burnt orange, brown, mustard and emerald are some fun winter tones that will help you set the mood for a cosier winter interior. Choose accent pieces that reflect these deeper tones and create a truly inspired new look at home.

All it takes is a few simple changes to create a cosier home you’ll love. Need to find the perfect piece? Shop our favourites at SHF.
