As the leaves settle and the temperature drops, you’ll likely begin spending more time indoors than you have the last few months. If being home is the last place you want to be, we can help! Everyone deserves to feel safe and comfortable in their own home—here are 12 ways to make your home cozy for the fall and winter!

  1. Use mood lighting to create a cozy ambiance. Lighting has a way of transforming spaces from cold, sterile environments, to warm, inviting areas. Invigorate the senses by pairing a flameless candle with your favorite scent diffuser. For a more fire-safe alternative, use ambient lighting, small lamps, projectors, electric candles, or other types of lighting to help set the mood.

  1. Bundle up in the fluffiest blanket you own to create a cozy atmosphere at home. What says ‘cozy’ more than bundling up in your favorite blanket? Keep at least one blanket in every room to create a cozy atmosphere (although, we recommend scattering a collection of blankets around the home for easy access). Boost your home’s comfort factor with plush slippers stashed around the house!

  1. Decorate your home with holiday decor or seasonal decor. Fall and winter have various holidays celebrated across cultures. Participating in holiday festivities by simply decorating with seasonal-specific decor can transform your home during the darker months of the year. Regardless of the holidays you celebrate at home, add the element of seasonal festivity for a guaranteed cozy, comfortable environment!

  1. Cozy up with a good book to read at home. Whether you buy a new book, borrow from the library, or read an old favorite from your shelf, reading a book while curled up in your comfiest chair and wrapped in a blanket, is guaranteed to create that cozy feeling you desire! Select your favorite genre, and get lost in the pages of another world.

  1. Roll out a fluffy rug to create a barrier between you and the freezing floor. Stepping onto cold tile or hardwood floors during fall and winter is a quick way to ruin the coziness of your home. By minimizing the amount of uncovered floor space by adding rugs throughout your home, you’ll feel warmer and cozier during the colder months (and thank yourself later, too).

  1. Hang photos of your loved ones throughout your home. If you’ve just moved in or haven’t had the opportunity to decorate your home, now is the perfect time to start. For a cozy home, hang photos of your friends and family, and don’t forget photos of your furry friends either!

  1. Bake a sweet treat in the kitchen to elevate the coziness levels in your home! Don’t underestimate the power of baking a sweet treat—bake something tasty to stimulate three of your senses: visual, scent, and taste. Baked goods can craft a cozy home all around. Just think—warm chocolate chip cookies, fresh out of the oven, or a fresh loaf of homemade bread!

  1. Use a coffee warmer to keep your coffee and other warm beverages at the perfect temperature. Heat can quickly escape your mug, especially in the colder season. Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker, a coffee connoisseur, or prefer tea or even hot cocoa, a coffee warmer is essential during the fall and winter months.

  1. Have a movie night on a particularly cold day with loved ones. Embrace the season with a movie set in the fall or winter months, or select your favorite spring or summer flick to reminisce on warmer weather—there are no rules here! 

  1. Get crafty this season by breaking out the craft supplies! The possibilities of what you can create are endless, but here are some cozy craft ideas to help you get started: candle-making, knitting a blanket or scarf, painting pumpkins, or decorating ornaments.

  1. Have a game night at home filled with board games, card games, and good food! Making memories with loved ones is the best way to create a cozy atmosphere at home. Invite a few friends and family members over and have a cozy game night!

  1. Host a holiday competition with friends and family! Holiday competitions are a great way to gather with loved ones and create some cozy holiday cheer. Plus, the options for holiday competitions are endless—host a gingerbread house contest, a gift-wrapping race, a cocktail or mocktail competition, or a blindfolded cookie decorating contest! A little friendly competition during the holidays can be the perfect way to bring people together and have a good laugh!
