If the only lighting you have in a room is an overhead light, it can make the space feel a bit cold. Adding warmer lighting with table/floor lamps, or wall sconces will instantly make your space seem warmer. This time of year, we all want our homes to feel as cozy and welcoming as possible, and adding warmer lighting will do just that!

There is nothing worse than being cozied up on your warm couch under a blanket, then stepping down onto a cold floor. This problem has an easy fix, just add an area rug. Area rugs create warmth in a space by adding softness, color, and texture. An area rug will not only make your room appear to to be warmer, but also help to hold in the actual heat of the room.

Bring the Outdoors In
