With temperatures dropping, it’s no secret that many of us are spending less time outside these days. As we retreat into our homes, we’re naturally looking for ways to stay as warm and cozy as possible. However, it’s not enough to toss another blanket on the bed. If you truly want to make your bedroom into a warm, serene haven, you need to update your bed for the cold days ahead. Here are some of the Latest Bedding’s top tips for creating a cozy winter bed that you won’t want to leave.
Swap Out Your Bedding Colors
Did you know that colors are proven to have an effect on your mood? While it’s common to get the winter blues, ironically enough shades of blue and green are known to have a calming effect on the psyche. If cold temps and short days are causing you stress, consider giving your room a color makeover this season. Other shades believed to produce a feeling of zen include neutrals like white, taupe, beige, and grey. We’re especially fond of this platinum four-piece comforter set by Waterford. As a bonus, the floral pattern calls to mind the spring days to come.
Pile on the Pillows
Fluffy accepts pillows to make a bed feel more inviting. However, with so many options to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start. For best results, choose a range of decorative pillows in different colors, fabrics, and textures. For example, you may want to opt for one throw pillow with shine and another in a fuzzy velvet fabric that feels great against your cheek.
Choose a Comfy Comforter
As the nights get colder, that thin quilt likely won’t be enough to keep you warm. Instead of jacking up the thermostat, opt to replace your current blanket with a fluffy comforter. We love down alternative comforters, which are both cozy and breathable, so you don’t have to worry about waking up drenched in sweat. For the ultimate in luxury, consider this cloud-like white J Queen comforter, boasting ultra-lofty hypoallergenic fiberfill.
Add a Fluffy Throw
No bed is complete without a fluffy throw tossed over the foot. Perfect for keeping your tootsies warm while you read in bed, a throw adds both texture and warmth to your bed while drawing the aesthetic together. Choose a faux fur option like this chestnut Lili Alessandra or opt for something in a fluffy chenille. As a bonus, a throw blanket is a great resting spot for Fluffy or Fido.
