Embrace winter’s unique allure with these ideas for relaxed comforts of the season.
Break out the extra blankets to keep the chill at bay. Baskets are great places to stash throws and afghans, but a decorative ladder propped against the wall saves floor space and creates a heightened display for throws while they aren’t in use.
Layers are the key to creating depth in design—especially when your space features winter-ready neutrals. From textures like quilted fabrics, furs, and linens to patterns like botanicals and animal prints, mixing and matching will make your space feel extra warm and welcoming.
Once the snow starts to fall, everyone needs a spot to relish the magic while staying nice and toasty. Equip your window seat with a tray for candles, warm drinks, a favorite seasonal read, and maybe even a snack, so you can soak in the view as long as you like.
Don’t let the cold weather rob you of your favorite outdoor spaces. Pair chunky knit throws and pillows with your porch seating and make sure you’ve got a nearby spot for a hot drink. For added ambience, tuck candles into hurricanes and lanterns, and continue enjoying the allure of the outdoors.
