With the start of winter only a few days away, (technically) you might want to start thinking about the little things you can do to warm up the spaces in your home. It’s quite popular today to decorate with a minimalist approach: organized spaces with no clutter give off a very clean impression. But while this look can be great, it can also be a colder environment. So when the temperature starts flirting with the freezing mark, it’s probably time to start exploring ways to warm up our spaces for the winter. It’s very easy to add warmth to your space without creating clutter and without spending a lot of money. Here are a few tips. INTRODUCE AN AREA RUG – Put a soft, warm texture over your existing, cold tile or hardwood floor to help warm your space. You don’t have to invest in a family heirloom. There are many beautiful, inexpensive rugs available today. Keep it inexpensive and you won’t mind when you roll it up and put it away in the springtime! ELECTRIC FIREPLACES – Decorium also has beautiful electric fireplaces that provide warmth but also serve as a beautiful piece of functional furniture. These pieces have adjustable temperature settings and can serve as credenzas or entertainment consoles. We have some that fit into corners, and some of the models even have remote controls so you won’t have to get up from the sofa or out of bed to turn up the heat! ACCESSORIZE – Another simple and cost-effective way to warm up your space is with the addition of accessories. Get yourself a soft and warm blanket for your sofa or bed. How about adding a scattering of fluffy throw pillows that you can snuggle into? My personal favourite is spreading beautiful candleholders around the room. Although this doesn’t actually produce useful heat, all you have to do is light those candles up and watch the thermostat start to rise! Try these tips and you should make it through another long, cold winter.
