It’s so cold outside, the perfect time to cozy up in a bed filled with layers…

Love the art and gold accents. It was 1 degree yesterday. Yeah, singular. degree. Ridiculous. And the wind chill last night was somewhere between negative 10 and 15. The joys of living in Milwaukee in January. Though I can’t complain cuz we’ve had a very mild winter so far with tons of 30s, 40s, and even a 55 degree day just last week! But when it’s über arctic outside, I don’t want to do a thing. I am soooo not a homebody but in the winter when it’s cold, I hibernate and leave when absolutely necessary. Laying in a layered bed filled with many pillows, different sizes, blankets and comforters is the ideal place to be. So much textural indulgences. Do you like beds with a ton of pillows? Or do you find making it up daily to be a chore with so much on it?

Winter decorating can still be bright and cozy…

Winter time calls for cozier textiles and although I love a dark room, there are some that prefer a bright space. These rooms prove that you can still layer with many different fabric choices and make it just as bright and cozy for a night of hot chocolate sipping while snuggling by a fire. One surefire way is by layering rugs…

 

 

Winter Comforts…prepare to cozy up with these fabrics…

Just like Spring and Summer, we can prepare for the colder seasons by swapping out pillows and adding certain textiles to the space. Yeah I know it’s still fall but here in Milwaukee we’ve hit lows at the freezing mark (although today is going to be 60).  Heavy cozy materials like tweed, plaid, corduroy, cable knit, wool, cashmere, velvet, suede & faux fur helps keep the seasons in prospective. I like the image above because despite the fabric selection the room isn’t heavy. The lighter hued walls, floor, white washed ceiling and couch keeps the space bright which we need considering the lack of sun many of us are exposed to. Sometimes the last thing you want is to get off work when it’s dark and come home to a dark room.
