Read on for more ways to incorporate warm winter décor into your home this season. Bonus points for warm colors and cozy textures!

Warm Touches

Don’t worry! We’re not talking about a performing a complete house makeover each season. Instead, you can update your house for winter by simply incorporating a few warm touches of home décor to your existing furniture and décor. How, you ask? One way is to bring in warm colors to your otherwise neutral furnishings. Add a few throw pillows in your favorite shades of golds, oranges and reds. By adding a matching throw, you can bring a warm look to your living room or bedroom, as well as an extra layer to snuggle up under on cool evenings in. You can also add these colors in through other home accessories: vases, sculptures, floral arrangements, a new throw rug, centerpieces for your dining room. The list goes on and on!

A less obvious way of bringing a cozy, warm feel to your room is by upping your texture game. You can incorporate texture through some of these same home accessories. Focus on thick knits, faux furs and other cushy fabrics. Again, throw pillows and blankets are an easy way to bring seasonal texture into your room.

Finally, you can choose pillows and other home décor that feature wintery scenes, such as trees and animals. These little touches are reminiscent of a cozy lodge, bringing a rustic feel into your home design.

The Walls are the Limit

Don’t forget your walls when you are updating your home décor for winter. You can easily switch out a couple of paintings in your room for a fresh new look. Look for wall art of winter landscapes, featuring beautiful, snow-covered trees. Wall art featuring metallic shapes can also bring a renewed look into your home for the season. A little bit of sparkle can add a big luxe look, and it is perfect for the chilly months! Another simple, yet personalized idea? You can print, frame and hang some of the new family pictures you took for holiday cards this year.

Warm up Your Bedroom

If there’s one room you want to keep extra warm during the winter months, it’s your bedroom! The cooler months are the perfect time to splurge on a new bedding set. Consider a duvet that will keep you from getting too cold. Plus, you can buy extra duvet covers to change up the look as you please. For winter, we love neutral bedding colors. You can add some variety through shams and a throw blanket draped on the end of your bed. Looking for a bolder look? Consider a winter green or other favorite color of your choice.

You can also keep the kids comfortable and happy with new bedding of their choices. There are plenty of warm comforters with cute patterns to fit the kiddos unique tastes. Flannel sheets are also a nice touch for the winter months.

Candles. Candles. Candles!

Of course, candles can add a touch of warmth and light quite literally, but they do so much more for your home décor. Candles can provide the special comfort and glow that we’re often looking for during the long winter months. From winter whites to reds and evergreens that work for the holidays and beyond, candles can be easily incorporated into your home décor. Add them to your dining table centerpiece, bookshelves, coffee tables and nightstands. The list goes on and on. Of course, there are the tried and true fall and winter scents. You can also look beyond cinnamon and gingerbread for scents that will tickle your senses for the season, like evergreen and woodsy aromas.

With these few touches, you can add a warm home décor touch to your living space, dining room and bedrooms—all with little effort, so you can spend your evenings curled up in one of your new throw blankets while relaxing with family and friends.
