As the weather turns chilly and the days grow shorter, there’s no better time to refresh your home and create a warm and cozy space for spending more time indoors and entertaining guests. To achieve this inviting ambiance, consider incorporating jewel tones, adding texture, updating fabrics, and enhancing your space with throws, throw pillows, and drapery. These elements can work together to transform your home into a snug and inviting haven for the colder months ahead! 

1. Incorporate Luxurious Jewel Tones

Jewel tones are rich, deep colors that resemble the hues of precious gemstones, and they can infuse your home with a sense of luxury and warmth. Colors like emerald green, sapphire blue, amethyst purple, and ruby red work exceptionally well in the fall and winter. Incorporate these jewel tones into your home through various means:

• Painted Walls: Consider painting an accent wall or your entire room in a jewel tone to create a striking focal point.

• Furniture: Invest in jewel-toned furniture pieces such as sofas, armchairs, or cabinets.

• Décor: Add smaller accents like vases, artwork, throws, or decorative cushions in jewel tones.

2. Add Textured Elements:

Texture is key to creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The contrast between smooth and rough textures can make your space visually interesting and tactilely pleasing. Here’s how you can incorporate texture into your interior design:

• Textured Fabrics: Opt for textiles like velvet, faux fur, or knits for your upholstery and cushions. These materials not only add warmth but also create a sense of opulence.
• Rugs: Invest in plush, high-pile rugs that feel soft underfoot. Layering rugs can add depth and variety to your space.
• Natural Elements: Plants add great texture and ambiance to a room and they help purify the air especially when we’re not opening the windows as much.
• Furniture: Shoji screens can be an easy way to add dimension and separate spaces.

3. Elevate & Add Cozy Fabrics

To create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, consider updating your fabrics to match the season. Lightweight, airy fabrics may work well in summer, but when the temperature drops, switch to heavier, warmer materials like wool, flannel, and fleece. Here’s where you can incorporate them:

• Curtains and Drapes: Replace your lightweight curtains with heavier ones to keep warmth inside and cold drafts out.
• Bedding: Swap out lightweight sheets and covers for thick, cozy duvets and plush blankets.
• Upholstery covers and pillows: Reupholster chairs and sofas with seasonally appropriate fabrics in rich, cozy textures

4. Throws and Throw Pillows for Instant Comfort:

Throws and throw pillows are an easy and cost-effective way to make your home feel instantly cozier. Mix and match various textures and jewel-toned fabrics to create a welcoming environment:

• Throws: Drape throws over the back of your sofas or armchairs, or keep them within arm’s reach to use when you’re feeling a bit chilly.
• Throw Pillows: Scatter jewel-toned throw pillows on your furniture for a burst of color and comfort

5. The Finishing Touch: Drapery

Drapery plays a significant role in creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Choose the right curtains to complete your seasonal refresh:

• Layered Drapery: Consider layering curtains with heavy, insulating drapes or thermal curtains to keep warmth inside and cold outside.
• Textured curtains: For beautiful contrast.
• Jewel-Toned Curtains: Opt for curtains in jewel tones to add color and elegance to your windows
