Layer up
Nubby blankets and furry pillows make a space feel warm and cozy. Add a few extra throws in gathering places within your space. Keep a basket of blankets near the door where you step outside to sit by an outdoor fireplace.
Get the Glow
Candles and lighting really set the mood for a cozy winter space. Add some fairy lights to a reading nook or on a mantle or bookcase. Move a lamp to a space in the kitchen where you make tea, coffee, or other warm beverages.
Stock the Bar
Engineer your space to put a spotlight on warm drinks. Bar carts are hot and perfect for hot toddies, spiked hot cocoa or a bubbly toast to winter. Designate a corner counter space to be your hot tea zone. Display a beautiful glass tea kettle on a tray with all the tea fixings including a diffuser, honey sticks, pretty mugs, and spices.
Aroma Therapy
Aroma is a powerful way to set a mood in a space. Try Incense like pinon or sage. Or candles in scents like sandalwood, palo santo, eucalyptus and pine. Make a stovetop potpourri with cinnamon sticks, dried oranges and cloves or lemon and rosemary.
Natural Decor
Natural elements like foraged pinecones, driftwood, rocks, and spruce tree clippings conjure up feelings of being in the woods. Layer them on surfaces in areas you congregate and lounge for a wintry effect.
