As the wind chill dips below freezing around central Ohio, there's no better feeling than coming home to a warm and cozy apartment. Winter is the perfect time to transform your living space into a snug and inviting retreat. If you live at The Pointe Hilliard apartments for rent, we've got you covered with a luxuriously warm apartment with thoughtful amenities that are easy to customize like vinyl flooring, light granite surfaces, and plenty of storage. Here are 9 cozy living tips for creating a winter haven full of comfort.
Soft and Plush Blankets
One of the easiest ways to add warmth anywhere you are in your apartment is by adding soft plush textiles to your seating areas. Consider placing a basket of cozy throw blankets and oversized pillows in your living room, and a thick area rug for instant insulation.
Warm, Festive Lighting
Swap out cool-toned lighting for warmer options. Soft, warm lighting, such as table lamps and string lights can give your apartment a softer glow that's perfect for winter evenings.
Layers of Comfort
Layering is not just for clothes! It can work wonders for interior design as well. Layer your furniture with blankets and cushions, and consider hanging chunky thermal curtains to add warmth and depth to your winter living space. And there’s no rule that says you can’t layer rugs! Mix and match patterns and textures for an ultra-modern look that’s functional and stylish too.
Fuzzy Slippers and Warm Socks
Keep your feet toasty by investing in a pair of fuzzy slippers or warm socks. There's something undeniably comforting about having warm, happy feet!
Hot Beverage Station
Not just for parties! Set up a hot drink bar for yourself with your favorite teas, hot cocoas, and coffees. Include your favorite mugs, toppings, and sweeteners for a warm treat any time you like.
Create a Reading Nook
Transform a corner of your apartment into a reading nook by adding a comfy chair, a bookshelf, and a blanket for those chilly winter afternoons. It makes your apartment look more homey, and it’s a great spot to snuggle up with a good book and a warm drink.
Winter Decor
Consider swapping out your regular decor with winter-themed decorations. Think snowflakes, pinecones, and seasonal wreaths. Embrace your inner child and cut out some paper snowflakes to hang in your windows! These small touches can instantly transform your apartment for the season.
Cozy Kitchen
Spending time in your spacious kitchen during winter can be a delightful experience. Prepare hearty soups, stews, and warm baked goods to fill your apartment with inviting aromas and comforting meals.
Cozy Aromas
If you’re not the head chef of your household, embracing the scents of the season is as easy as using some essential oils or simmering pots of cinnamon and cloves. These fragrances can create a cozy ambiance and make your apartment feel even more inviting.
