The cold and dark winter nights may leave you with seasonal blues. The best way to counteract the terrible winter mood is to transform your home into a warm and cozy winter vacation. Fortunately, there are many ways you can make your space more welcoming and comfortable in order to survive and thrive in the cold winter months.
Add layers and texture.
Add in chunky knitwear, flannel bedding, weighted blankets, and quilts – these layers of texture will not only keep you warm on the coldest nights of the year, but will also add some coziness to any room.
Install new lights.
Lights play an important role in the ambience of your home. The right light brings warmth into your room and creates a cozy feeling. At Handy Squad we have a very experienced team of London electricians who can help you with installing lights, replacing lightbulbs and many other electrician-related tasks.
Try a new color palette.
Colors can affect the mood and feel of a room. Hence, it is very important that you choose your color palette wisely. According to color psychology, cool colors like blues are calming and relaxing colors. They are ideal for bedrooms to calm down and relieve stress. Warm neutral colors make your room feel cozy all winter long. If you need an extra pair of hands, our decorators in London are happy to help!
If you're renting a property and looking for non-permanent ways to make your space more welcoming, we've rounded up some easy and quick ways to add color to your home in a recent blog post.
Seal windows and doors.
Are you relaxing on your sofa with a nice cup of tea, but keep feeling a cold breeze from somewhere in the house? It's time to call the team to get your home hooked up. We can find out where this draft is coming from and seal the culprit so that the cold air stays outside and the warm air stays inside.
Swap your curtains.
Replace your drapes or light drapes with some heavy drapes or blackout drapes – these will help insulate your room in winter and are also great for cooling down your room when it's warm outside.
