With winter approaching, you, your family, and your friends will be spending more time indoors. Sprucing up your living room furniture and the space around them will make your home cozier and more inviting, making guests and your family feel at home. Below are the top 5 tips for making your living spaces a refuge from the cold.

How to Cozy up Your Living Room Furniture

1. Invest in an Electric Fireplace TV Stand

Nothing warms a room like a fireplace, but they aren’t always practical. Investing in a fireplace TV stand is a great way to make a room feel warm and homey, and it’s safe to use in a household with children. You’ll be able to settle back and watch the kids play while you enjoy the warmth and sight of the fire.

2. Use Throw Pillows & Blankets

Winter calls for throw pillows and blankets, especially if your furniture is made of leather. Put out extra pillows for more comfort, and accessorize them with blankets draped over your sofa and recliners. That way, you can grab a blanket if you’re chilly and nestle among a haven of pillows.

3. Spray Them With Winter-Scented Fabric Freshener

Scent is a big part of atmosphere. Pine, peppermint, and apple cider are all staple scents of winter, and applying them to your furniture is a subtle way to heighten comfort and coziness, especially if your new furniture still has the smell of the store. Search for these scents in furniture products and use them regularly to give your living room furniture warmth.

4. Situate Lamps & End Tables Nearby

Many people enjoy curling up with a good book and a steaming cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate during winter. Set the scene for this by strategically placing lamps and end tables by your furniture. The light allows for easy reading even at night, and tables ensure you have somewhere to set your mug or book down nearby.

5. Utilize Heated Couch & Chair Covers

A lesser-heard-of option for making your space cozy is with heated furniture covers. These couch or chair covers are available for a variety of furniture styles and use the same technology as heated blankets. Variable settings provide customized warmth for each seat on the couch or loveseat. Paired with a soft blanket and your favorite person, it’s the perfect way to warm up.
