As the winter months bring darker nights and lower temperatures, there’s nothing better than cosying up in a snug, warm home.
Whether you’re choosing energy efficient window dressings, layering soft lighting and tactile fabrics, or introducing rich colours, a few thoughtful changes can make your home feel more comfortable this season. inter.
When temperatures drop, the last thing you want is cold air sneaking in around your windows and doors.
Choosing the right blinds, curtains or shutters can create an extra layer of insulation at your windows, helping to reduce draughts and improve energy efficiency.
For comfort, choose curtains or Roman blinds with thermal lining to provide an extra barrier against the cold. For even greater insulation, opt for Duette® blinds. They feature a clever honeycomb structure that traps air at the window, designed to reduce heat loss by up to 55%.
Shutters are another excellent option. Their close-fit design helps minimise draughts and can reduce heat loss through the window by up to 64%, helping to keep your home comfortable.
"Shutters are a flexible choice, giving you the option to keep the frames closed and draughts at bay, but still allowing light in by positioning the louvres to suit you."
Mark, Hillarys Advisor
Nothing beats natural daylight, but shorter winter days can leave our homes feeling darker earlier. Introducing layers of soft lighting is an easy way to make your home feel cosier and more inviting throughout the colder months.
Style table lamps, floor lamps or candles around your room to create a gentle glow and swap harsh overhead lighting for lower-level light sources that help soften dark corners. The result is a more relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for winter evenings.
"Lighting is often overlooked, but you can easily achieve a soft glow with lanterns or fairy lights strung about the place. It will make everything feel nice and cosy."
Sally Cullen, Interior stylist
Layering different textures is an easy way to add comfort and depth to a room. Think chunky knitted throws, soft cushions, plush rugs and tactile fabrics. For a coordinated look, choose accessories that complement your window dressings, helping to create a seamless flow throughout the space. Colours can have just as much impact.
Rich, earthy tones such as terracotta, greens and browns help create a cosy atmosphere, while softer neutrals bring calm and comfort. Whether introduced through accessories, furnishings or window dressings, these shades can make your home feel snug all season long.
"Texture is everything when you want to feel cocooned in your home. It’s amazing in the cooler months when we want to snuggle in and keep the chill out."
Abigail Ahern, Interior designer
