12 Ways to Make Your Home Cosy This Winter

Yes, curtains deserve a seasonal swap too. Sheer linen won’t cut it in June. Go for thicker, lined curtains in velvet, wool, or heavy cotton to keep the cold out and the cosy vibes in. Bonus: it instantly makes any room feel more elevated.

Whether you’ve got a crackling fire or a chic faux mantle, your fireplace should be centre stage in winter. Style it up with stacked wood (even if it’s just for the look), mood lighting, and layered candles. It’s the heart of the room – treat it like it.

One duvet isn’t enough when the temp drops. Layer up with an extra throw, a quilted bedspread, or a plush blanket at the foot of the bed. Go for textures like velvet, wool, or brushed cotton to make your bedroom feel five-star hotel cosy.

Some of our favourite ways to layer a winter bed is:

• Upgrade to an extra-thick GSM winter weight duvet
• Use thicker duvet covers – such as velvet, thick cotton, or waffle 
• Drape over an oversized comforter for extra warmth
• & finally, add a faux fur throw 

Statement textures like velvet or faux fur instantly add depth and warmth to a room. Drape them over your sofa, armchairs, or even the end of your bed. They don’t just look gorgeous – they invite people to sit, snuggle, and stay a while.

Hard floors + winter = no thanks. Layer thick, luxe rugs in your living room, under your dining table, or anywhere people hang out. It helps retain heat and adds a level of comfort that just hits different when it’s cold outside.

No slippers? No problem. Add small runner rugs in places where cold tiles will try to ruin your vibe – like the kitchen, hallway, or even under your bathroom vanity. Your toes will thank you.

Nothing says winter glow-up like adding wall sconces to a hallway or reading nook. Choose a design with warm, directional light and pair with deeper-toned paint or wallpaper for that moody, gallery-inspired feel.

Trade your bright bouquets for something a little more sultry. Think deep red roses, moody mauves, eucalyptus, or even dried florals for something low-maintenance but still high-style. It’s winter – let your floral game reflect that richness.

At the end of the day, winter styling is all about how you feel in your home. Mix and match these tips to suit your space and vibe. Maybe it’s the scent of cinnamon candles, maybe it’s velvet cushions, maybe it’s drinking hot choc on the rug in front of the fire. Whatever your version of cosy is – go all in.
