As the weather cools down this fall, it\u2019s time to transition your home so it\u2019s cozy, relaxing and enjoyable for you and your family. With these simple tips and ideas from Interior Design<\/span>\u00a0Pro<\/span>\u00a0Jennifer Adams, the transition can be effortless and inexpensive.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Outfit Your Bed<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

At the end of a chilly day, nothing beats a warm, inviting bed. Switch out your summer sheets with flannel or heavyweight cotton and layer your bed with a coverlet or quilt. If you don\u2019t need the extra blanket, keep it folded at the foot of your bed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use Quilts and Throws<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love to curl up with a warm blanket? Add on cozy quilts or throw blankets to your sofa and armchairs. Think soft, plush fabrics and textures, like wool, fur, velvet or fleece.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Avoid Cold Feet<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

A great way for staying cozy is to keep your feet warm. Keep slippers in your entryway or by your bedside, so they\u2019re ready to slip on when you get home or wake up. Add rugs or woven mats to your uncarpeted areas, like your bathroom, kitchen and entryway. Rugs come in a myriad of sizes and shapes, but whatever you choose, invest in rugs that feel comfortable to your bare feet and for sitting on.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Insulate\u00a0<\/span><\/b>with<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Curtains<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

One effective way to insulate your room from cold drafts is to use heavier, thicker curtains. Let your curtains enhance your d\u00e9cor by choosing ones that add a splash of color or are complimentary to your color palette. Deep tones are always lovely and create a warm ambiance for any space.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Create a Cozy Nook<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Having a little place to retreat to is a great way to unwind and recharge yourself. It can be your reading nook or just a relaxing nook, where you can have a quiet break from the day\u2019s activities. Make it comfortable with throw pillows, a quilt, and a lamp or candles.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy Candles<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Create a warm glow by using candles. They enhance your home and your mood, creating an inviting and relaxing space. Scented candles are especially enjoyable and help to freshen the space. Group candles together on your coffee, dining or bedside tables, and don\u2019t forget to use candles to enhance a soothing bath.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Warm Up the Outdoors<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

With crisp morning air and clear starry nights, fall is a wonderful time to enjoy your garden or patio by warming it up with a fire feature. There are many options to choose from, so you\u2019re sure to find a fire feature that suits your space and needs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
