9 simple ways to make your home snug for winter

Winter is drawing in, the days are getting shorter and you’ll likely be spending more time in the comfort of your home. To keep you snug and warm as the days get colder, we’ve got nine simple ways to update your home and keep the winter chill at bay.

Introduce blankets

Wrap yourself up and add a cosy vibe to your home interior with a blanket. These warming room accessories can be draped over the back of your sofa, folded on the end of your bed or tucked into a convenient hygge style basket. Versatile, useful and a great addition to your interior, include these in your home for extra warmth. 

Get cosywith cushions

Big cushions in your lounge or bedroom will add another dynamic of comfort to your home. Pile them up on your bed, throw one on your arm chair or lose yourself in a heap on your sofa. Whatever you use them for, a well-placed cushion can quickly transform the atmosphere in any room. 

Bring winter colours inside

When you’re introducing cushions and blankets into your home, go for rich, seasonal shades to bring the feel of winter right into your home, without the cold. A neutral palette with soft grey hues will work wonders and turn your home into a warming winter wonderland. 

Bring in the textures

Knits, faux-furs and super soft weaves all scream seasonal snug. Include these throughout your home and bring touchable comfort to any room. Perfect for updating your sofa, or bringing the warmth to your bedroom interior, textured soft furnishings can quickly transform any indoor space.

Keep the cold out

Keep those chills and drafts at bay with the help of handy draft excluders. These little helpers come in a range of colours and styles, so you can keep your home warm while making a stylish interior statement. 

Dress your windows

Find the perfect blind for your window and add a splash of extra warmth to your home when you browse the range at 247 Blinds. We’ve got seasonal colours in a range of styles.  A Roman blind will add a great block of colour or pattern to a neutral room, whereas a plantation shutter will provide a cosy, natural look whilst letting in that precious natural light. 

Include natural materials

Seasonal change is always reflected most prominently in nature. Bring some of that natural goodness into your home and be inspired by the great outdoors. A few wooden accessories and ceramic pieces will be enough to bring those warm, earthy colours indoors for a snug, final look, without completely changing a room. 

Warm up with the perfect lighting

Embrace warm natural light in the dark evenings and dot candles around your rooms. For a little more twinkle, think about introducing fairy lights too. The flickering lights will add a touch of intimate comfort, making it perfect for snuggling up on a long winter night.

Light a fire

Turn on your fire and welcome some extra warmth into your home. The flames will bring a cosy glowing ambiance to a room and protect you and your family from the cold. If you don’t have a fire, you can now watch realistic flames on your TV, so you can achieve that lovely atmosphere without a hearth.
