5 Steps to create a cosy home for winter

Preparing your home for winter doesn’t require a complete renovation. With just a few thoughtful changes (and tasteful layering), you can create a space that feels warm, cosy and inviting. Here are five simple steps to help you create a cosy home this winter.

1. Layer with textured scatters

Start by introducing décor that creates a warm and comforting ambience through textures. Think of plush scatters with velvet finishes and rich woven fabrics that instantly warm up a space. Add textural accents like knit throws to your accent chairs to bring a sense of depth and softness to the room.

2. Add mood lighting

Lighting is essential for creating or transforming the mood of a space, especially during the darker months. Switch out cool-toned bulbs for warm lighting to create a golden, inviting glow. Layering lighting can also create a striking impression. Consider having multiple light sources like floor lamps, table lamps and even candles. The colder season is the best time to choose accent lights over your overhead harsher lighting.

Tip: For a dramatic effect, place some of your accent lighting near reflective surfaces or artwork to enhance the feeling of warmth.

3. Warm throws & blankets.

Drape blankets and throws over your couch, armchair or bed. This simple addition will instantly make your space feel more comfortable and inviting for both you and your guests. Mink blankets, known for their velvet-like texture and lightweight warmth, are ideal for cool evenings, while Sherpa throws offer that extra level of indulgence with their wool-like plushness.

Our blankets have been thoughtfully selected for form, function and style. They certainly feel as luxurious as they look.

4. Furniture as a focal point.

A curved couch, enveloping armchair, or richly toned ottoman can ground your space and anchor your winter styling. Add scatter cushions in tonal shades of blue, charcoal, or ivory for a layered, elevated look that still feels relaxed.

5. Create a cosy corner.

Sometimes, all it takes is bringing a sense of warmth to one focused spot of the house. A styled cosy corner near the fire, a soft reading nook, or a spot for slow weekend mornings. Layer your favourite textures—plush throws, a tactile rug, and candles.

As you move through the season, let these spaces remind you to slow down, breathe deeper, and settle into the luxury of winter living.
