- Chunky Blankets – Chunky Blankets are the swiss army knife of your living room. Is your living room boring? Add a chunky blanket. Need to add something to your fireplace? Add a bundle of Chunky Blankets. That’s all just for decor but we know that chunky blankets are best when they are being used! You can get lost in a chunky knit throw blanket and it provides a cute piece of decor for your home.
- Candles – Okay, we know that candles are great year around but how much better are candles in winter? There are a ton of fun winter scents and lighting candles at night will create the perfect cozy mood. Instead of using strong lighting, set some candles out and wrap yourself up in your chunky blanket while drinking something warm.
- Slow Mornings/Stillness – The days are shorter and the season of winter provides a form of calmness. Take time to do some mindful meditation, enjoy your coffee in bed, relax and give yourself the rest it needs.
- Make Yourself Warm Drinks – Hot chocolate, a hot toddy, tea, coffee, or even golden milk is a great alternative. You can even buy some cute winter mugs to get the full cozy winter mood.
- Natural Decor – The great thing about winter is that you can use many natural pieces of nature to decorate. We love adding christmas tree branches to gifts and centerpieces. You can find a million things to do with pine cones as well! If you’re interested in how to make your home cozy on a budget, adding some small candles and pinecones like the decor below will do the trick!
6. Baking Warm Meals – Who doesn’t love warm meals after playing in the snow outside?! Try baking some Christmas cookies, try out a new braided bread recipe, or make yourself a fun little pie.
7. Decorate Your House With Lights – This is an instant way to uplift your mood and provide some nice comfort. Not only light a staple for the holidays but adding them to your house or room will provide happiness all year.
8. Comfy Clothes – Break out the fuzzy socks, robes, comfy joggers, and oversized sweaters, and let it ride. Comfy can also be cute! We love chunky sweaters and cute coats for a monochromatic vibe. Beige is a great winter color because it goes well with colorful scarves and beanies.
9. Fireplaces – We’ve never met someone who didn’t like sitting by a fireplace. Light the fire, drink a hot beverage and relax!
