Outfit Your Bed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of a chilly day, nothing\nbeats a warm, inviting bed. Switch out your summer sheets with flannel or\nheavyweight cotton and layer your bed with a coverlet or quilt. If you don\u2019t\nneed the extra blanket, keep it folded at the foot of your bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Quilts and Throws <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who doesn\u2019t love to curl up with a\nwarm blanket? Add on cozy quilts or throw blankets to your sofa and armchairs.\nThink soft, plush fabrics and textures, like wool, fur, velvet or fleece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid Cold Feet <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great way for staying cozy is to\nkeep your feet warm. Keep slippers in your entryway or by your bedside, so\nthey\u2019re ready to slip on when you get home or wake up. Add rugs or woven mats\nto your uncarpeted areas, like your bathroom, kitchen and entryway. Rugs come\nin a myriad of sizes and shapes, but whatever you choose, invest in rugs that\nfeel comfortable to your bare feet and for sitting on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insulate With Curtains <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
