What Makes a House Cosy in Winter?
One of the secrets to a cosy winter home is layering. Layer up your lighting, cushions, throws and colours to create ambience and warmth. Layers that appeal to all of the senses like table lamps that emit soothing pockets of glow to the warmth and feel of snuggly sheepskin throws and slubby woollen cushions.
Abigail's 5 Favourite Winter Home Decor Tips
1. Use soft furnishings and rugs to create a cosy cocooning vibe.
1. Use soft furnishings and rugs to create a cosy cocooning vibe.
One of the easiest ways to reflect the season is to change up your soft furnishings. Choose cushions in tantalising textures and warmer hues to create those all important layers. Change up your rugs to soft and shaggy or layer them up to make it just a little squidgier underfoot.

2. Add extra pockets of lighting
3. Fill your rooms with seasonal scents
Scent can transform the feeling of your space and change the mood and vibe as well as having quite a dynamic effect on our emotional state. There's something so beautiful about the flicker of candlelight when the natural light has dimmed. Use woody and smoky scents in the cooler months to create a heady ambience that transports you to a cosy cabin.

Preparing something wholesome and comforting is the perfect way to spend chilly days. AA recommends to decorate your kitchen like other rooms in your home and add in table lamps, art and furniture, it not only makes it a chic hang out but helps to integrate it with the rooms that lead from it.
