No matter what the weather is like, December always seems to bring about at least a slight chill in the air. Even here in Mumbai, we find ourselves enjoying days without the air conditioners and letting the cool breeze come in through open windows. If you live further north, then you are definitely feeling cold and we’re here to help you find some respite. We are of the mindset that your décor should change with the seasons, not dramatically, but in small, subtle ways. During the winter, you want to create a sense of warmth and cosy-ness with easy, affordable cozy bedroom ideas.



Layers

During the winter, you may find yourself staying in more often as it gets dark earlier and the thought of a hot cup of tea in front of the television becomes seriously appealing. We all know that you need to layer up your clothes to beat the chill outdoors but what about inside? Layering textures, fabrics and accents is a great way to heat up your bedroom. Think about adding in more cushions to your sofa or bed, using multiple throws and even layering rugs upon each other. You can use large pillows for the floor for when you want to curl up with a good book.



Colours

In the summer, we always recommend sticking with bright whites and pastels which evoke a sense of space and lightness. In the winter, you can go in the opposite direction and focus on jewel tones like emerald, ruby and sapphire. These warm hues create an inviting and cosy atmosphere making your room a haven in winter months. Rather than redecorating, you can use a new sheet of golden wallpaper or pick up some dark, velvet cushion covers to add a bit of winter luxe to your space!





Materials

Have you noticed how dens and studies always seem to exude warmth and heat even without a fireplace? This is often because of the leather furniture you find in mancaves along with other heavy pieces. Think of incorporating one or two items in brass, dark wood or leather to your room to instantly warm up space. Using too many of these kinds of elements will make your room stuffy so go about this sparingly.

Accents

When you think about a blustery, winter’s night, it’s easy to enjoy it from the inside. We think the perfect indoor setting would include soft, ambient lighting; lots of books; candles; amber-hued photographs on the wall, throw pillows and blankets scattered about and cozy bedroom decor. Imagine your perfect winter’s day vantage point and try to recreate this with little changes in accents like artwork, lighting and décor. Soon, you’ll find winter melting away as you lounge in your fortress of warmth!
