\"Velvet<\/p>\n

\n 
\nChilly winter temps don\u2019t have to get you down this season\u2026 especially when you feather your nest with cozy and inviting design elements guaranteed to combat the cold-weather blues. \u201cOne way to embrace the cold and dark is to just go with it like a hibernating animal and nestle indoors with cozy winter textures. As you switch out your closet items from cotton and flip-flops to wool and corduroy, approach your home with the same sensibility,\u201d says Houzz editor Becky Harris<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n 
\nFrom satiny chenille chairs<\/a> to hand-loomed wool beds<\/a>, you\u2019ll find plenty of ways to warm up your space in our 80,000 square foot showroom \u2014 including the option to build custom-upholstered furnishings in our complimentary Design Center<\/a>. Continue reading below for some helpful notes from the experts to inspire a cozy home makeover of your own.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\nFuzzy Feelings<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Layering textures on top of textures is the name of the game in the winter, especially if your home is a carpet-less one. Better Homes & Gardens editors note<\/a>: \u201cAlthough wood floors create a sophisticated style statement year-round, you’ll need to cozy them up for the cold winter months. For a unique style statement, layer one rug on top of another to add more visual interest.\u201d Diverse texture combinations like black and white calf<\/a> and axis deer hides<\/a>, and New Zealand wool and pure silk<\/a> and Icelandic sheepskin<\/a> make for an ideal layered look.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wildly soft sheepskin is a must-have in every room. \u201cWe love adding sheepskin to dining chairs to make them ready for colder weather. Draping a sheepskin throw can make a simple dining chair feel more luxurious and sophisticated and also adds a nice softness,\u201d designers Caroline Grant and Dolores Suarez tell Apartment Therapy<\/a>. Accessorize dining and living areas with furry throws and Tibetan lamb pillows from BS Trading Company<\/a> (we have them in dozens of chic hues<\/a>!), or opt for an all-in-one piece like this button-tufted Universal Furniture sofa<\/a>, which features quilted fabric and plush sheepskin cushions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\nHow to Hygge<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cPronounced \u2018hoo-ga,\u2019 this Danish concept cannot be translated to one single word, but encompasses a feeling of cozy contentment and well-being through enjoying the simple things in life,\u201d Country Living Lifestyle Editor Lyndsey Matthews explains<\/a>. \u201cIf you’ve ever enjoyed reading a book indoors on a rainy Sunday or a cup of hot cocoa on a snow day, you’ve experienced hygge without even knowing it.\u201d Even if you don\u2019t have a roaring fireplace in your home, you can still create the signature warmth of \u201chygge\u201d with a cozy spot to enjoy conversation with your favorite people. Arrange various pieces into a circle, and don\u2019t forget the sumptuous materials! Look for seating like buttery leather sofas by Hancock and Moore<\/a>, overstuffed velvet armchairs by Universal Furniture<\/a>, and cushioned benches by Theodore Alexander<\/a>. The only thing missing is a few luxurious fur throw blankets<\/a> to keep the cordial chats going long into the evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
