Making Your Living Room a Cozy Escape During the Cold Months

The New Year is upon us and winter is in full swing, so it’s the perfect time to create an inviting living room that your guests will love in the wake of the holiday season. Even though it’s cold outside, you can transform your indoor space into a comfortable hideaway your friends and family can cuddle up in until spring.

Here are four ways to make your living room a cozy escape during the cold months, and how to optimize this area for houseguests.
 

Cover up with Stylish Curtains

 

Covering your windows with stylish curtains is one way to make your living room cozier. Choose a soft fabric with a fun pattern to keep the cold out. Mask the windows or an entire wall with fabric and draping to fashion an intimate living space that will keep everyone coming back for more.
 

Snuggle up with a Fluffy Throw

Lay a fleecy blanket across your couch or arm chair to help shield family members and visitors from the cold. Provide matching silk cushions to create a restful place anyone can curl up in to read a book or catch some zzz's.

Warm up with a Fuzzy Rug

Invest in a rug with long, loose fur to make sure you and your guests stay nice and toasty. Cover cold spots on the floor with one or more faux fur rug to design a tranquil sanctuary your loved ones will cherish.
    

Brighten up with Delicate Light

 

Hang string lights around the room or place a few candles in the area to create a peaceful glow. Opt for white or colored lights and seasonal scents to establish a winter haven in the comfort of your home.
