Bring Warmth Into Your Home

The past few days have finally brought the cold chill of winter.  Now is the time to come inside and enjoy the warmth of our homes.  Allow Marc Williams Furniture to offer suggestions on how to make your house a beautifully warm home.

Our first suggestion is to use warm colors when decorating.  Fire means warmth so consider using fire-hued tones such as gold, red, and orange or even softer hues, such as yellow, brick, or rust.  These warm colors will look great in accessories throughout your home.

In keeping with the theme of fire bringing warmth into your home, why not use actual fire?  Light a fire in a fireplace or light candles on a mantel, coffee table, or end table.  The flames will bring warmth as well as a feeling of intimacy.

Cold feet make the whole the body cold.  Cover your hardwood floors with area rugs.  Again, choosing warm hues will conjure a feeling of warmth. Sense of smell can also add warmth.  Consider using candles or spray with the scent of cinnamon, apple, or pine.

Nothing evokes a feeling of warmth and intimacy like snuggling under a nice warm throw.  Place blankets close to chairs and sofas.  Arrange baskets of pine cones on tables and add pillows to chairs and sofas.  Have family activities easily accessible to encourage spending time together.  Keep family albums, cards, and board games near the sofas.

It is a wonderful time of year to enjoy your home.  Make it warm and inviting and enjoy the relaxation it can offer.
