As spring approaches, it’s sometimes easy for your space to start to feel stale or uncomfortable. However, there are many easy ways to brighten and freshen up your living spaces while giving you a boost to both your energy and mood. Below we’ve curated some ways that you can make your cozy spaces even warmer and more comfortable, so you can have the perfect vibe.

 

Accent Pieces

An accent piece can really bring a space together and help facilitate the perfect cozy atmosphere. Try hanging wreaths and garlands on your doors and windows, especially ones you can DIY like citrus garlands. These additions can draw your space together visually and give your home a uniquely personal touch.

You can also create centerpieces for coffee tables using mason jar luminaries or candles. These centerpieces are also a great place to add some wintry greenery, such as holly, pine, or mistletoe. You can use fake greenery for a more no-muss-no-fuss setup, but if you want a more natural feel you can find most of these bits of greenery outside. Be sure to add some pinecones for a woodsier feel!

 

Scents

Getting the perfect scent for your space can help a space come alive. Candles, wax scent warmers, or diffusers can boost your mood or calm you down, so choosing the right scent for the right time is important.

For a winter vibe, choose more pine or balsam scents. These more woodsy scents are shown to have calming benefits in aromatherapy. If you prefer lighter, less woodsy scents, try peppermint or berry. Peppermint has a variety of health benefits and can alleviate headache and respiratory issues in addition to smelling amazing, which is perfect during the Texas allergy season.

 

Textures

Continuing with the woodland theme, woody textures can do wonders to warm up a space. Try to incorporate wood and neutral colors for a more relaxed feel. Versawood window trim, for example, can warm up your space without taking up extra room.

For winter weather, heavier textiles do wonders. Not only will it keep you warm when you cuddle up on your couch, but it conveys a warm feeling to the rest of the space. Try tartan plaids or faux fur blankets to continue the woodsy theme, or branch out with woven wool or canvas blankets.

 

Lighting

Especially during the winter months, it is incredibly important to keep a well-lit area. If you don’t have a way to add light to a room, you can also paint the walls a lighter shade to make the room appear brighter.

Lamps can add light and accentuate your interior décor in fun and interesting ways. Make sure you use natural full-spectrum lightbulbs or warm light lightbulbs to make your space feel extra snug. Some lights are also said to help with seasonal depressive symptoms, and can cheer up any wintery attitude.

Lastly, your windows play a huge role in the lighting of your home. Although sunlight light bulbs are great, there’s no replacement for natural light. Be sure to clean your windows to get the most out of the natural sunlight. If your windows are too cloudy to see through, it might be time to replace your windows.
