Seal drafts - it sounds simple, but if you have a slicing wind driving under your doors and through your window panes, then not only are you wasting your heating bill, but your home will feel the chill factor, whatever you do. Seal window gaps and grab some draft excluders to contain and retain heat.2. Lounge room layout - if your living room furniture is spread out, consider moving sofas and armchairs closer together to create a cosy feel. Add an ottoman so you can enjoy stretching out your legs or to balance a snack tray on movie nights to kick back and relax.The Nova armchair for $249 from Fantastic Furniture can help you get cozy this winter.Source:Supplied3. Rug up - rugs are a great accessory that can add a totally different look and feel to a room from season to season. Wooden floors that are cool and calming in summer time can be warmed up in winter with a stylish rug. Choose a textured or shaggy pile for that lovely sink in feeling underfoot. Opt for warming colours such as rich reds, burnt orange or earthen browns and greens to add an inviting vibe to your winter interior.4. Cushions and throws - by rotating cushions and throws as the seasons change, you can update the look of your home and make the most of your living space. In winter, opt for materials such as wool or faux fur and have fun with patterns and textures such as embroidery, pompoms, frills and weave. These will add character to your home, creating a cosy new look for your lounge room or bedroom.Faux wool cushion covers from Lorraine Lea for $22 each, can bring that winter cozy feeling to your home.Source:Supplied5.
