Creating a Cosy Space this Winter
With the temperature dropping and Christmas a bleak memory, it’s time to embrace the chill. You can beat the winter blues with a cosy and inviting living space to snuggle up in. The freezing weather is best enjoyed from the warmth and comfort of inside your living room or bedroom. Make the most of it with a range of homely furnishings.
Colour is one of the most important elements to think about when achieving a calm and cosy space. The Crescendo sofa uses the luxurious velvet and classic pink shade to portray a cosy but elegant feel. Accessorising with gold also draws in the rich hues. Using neutrals with warming undertones will create a rich and tranquil ambience.
You can capture the seasonal appeal with shades such as shimmering gold, burnt orange, deep berry and autumnal brown. These can be introduced to a room that needs lifting. The Petula snuggler sofa makes use of the stunning iridescent gold with its textured velvet upholstery. This seating option is designed specifically for snuggling with classic comfort appeal- perfect for the colder months.
Creamy, classic colours, mustard tones and contemporary greys mixed with yellows add serenity and peacefulness. This ensures your home is the perfect winter retreat. The Bamburgh Chesterfield upholstered in characterful natural chestnut leather, will bring warmth and allure to your space. Painting an accent wall, or simply colour coordinating your furniture and accessories can make a huge difference.
Fabrics and textures can not only enhance the visual appeal of a room, but can also soften the acoustics. Luxurious furry throws, such as the Malini faux fur throw, emphasises comfort in cold times. Soft knitted cushions and chunky woollen cable knits all give a cosy and welcoming feeling to a home. Tactile fabrics such as indulgent velvets and chenilles can also be used.
Classically styled, the Hayes bedstead is upholstered in soft, luxurious velvet. This ensures you will feel comfortable and relaxed, creating a cosy and snuggly feel. The contemporary grey colour scheme adds to the calming sensation. Complete the look with the textured wool rug for maximum appeal.
You can create a friendly air through the depth of upholstery and layered bedding with blankets. Curtains, deep-piled fluffy rugs and thick carpets also trap warmth. Reclaimed wood brings a rustic texture, with rawness and natural style. The Weston dining table and chairs sit perfectly in a cosy setting. It blends in perfectly with rich autumnal warm colours and its fashionable weathered charm.
Classic and luxurious, the Saxby 3 seater Chesterfield sofa is perfect for a night in. Covered in an inviting woollen Harris Tweed, its chestnut leather accents give a welcoming casual feel. This comfortable sofa is complemented by the glow of the gold brass lamp. With deep, furry cushions and wall art that nods to man’s best friend, this set up is a peaceful sanctuary.
Subtle lighting will set the mood and create a relaxing tone in your living room or dining room. When evening falls, a mix of ambient lamps will create a cosy atmosphere. Bulbs that give off a softer, orange glow rather than a bright white shine feel more homely. Each table lamp should be strategically situated throughout the room, enhanced by the flicker of selected candles. Striking floor lamps will highlight your best furnishings and have romantic appeal, transforming your living room space into the ultimate haven.
The Cheltenham circular dining table shows off a rustic, country living design. Its unique, distressed finish is created through the use of solid reclaimed timbers. These are accentuated by the warm, soft lighting, which gives an orange tint and subtle glow. The use of featured lamps delicately illuminates the dining room, emphasising the natural characteristic of the table top.
