How to Add Cozy, Warm Elements to Your Home Renovation

As the weather cools and the days get shorter, creating a warm, cozy environment at home becomes a top priority. Whether you’re preparing for quiet nights in or festive gatherings with loved ones this upcoming season, making your home feel inviting and comfortable can make all the difference.

When you start to think about renovating your space, keep this season in mind, you won’t regret it!

Here are some cozy tips to add to your home renovation!

LIGHTING

 A single overhead light can feel harsh during the colder months. Instead, opt for layered lighting. Use a combination of table lamps, floor lamps, and wall sconces to create a soft, warm glow. Consider bulbs with a warm color temperature to instantly enhance the cozy atmosphere.

 We can make sure your home is wired with all the lighting you need, and ensure it’s placed in the right places for each room and space.

NATURAL ELEMENTS

Incorporating natural materials like wood, stone, or plants can evoke the calming essence of the outdoors, even when you’re inside. Especially in the cold, long winter months in Calgary, some natural elements make all the difference to our warmth and mood.

Add some wood elements, a stone feature or warm hardwood floors to give that cozy-feeling.

ADD A FIRE FEATURE

If you have a fireplace, now is the time to make it the focal point of your living room. Keep a basket of wood handy for wood-burning fireplaces or consider an electric or gas fireplace for an instant ambiance boost.

WINDOWS WINDOWS WINDOWS

 New, efficient windows make all the difference. Say goodbye to those cold, brisk drafts and opt for more energy efficient windows in your space.

It also helps to swap out lightweight summer curtains for heavier, insulated drapes to keep the cold air at bay and add visual warmth to the room.

WARM TONES 

While neutrals are great, adding a few warm-toned accents can make your space feel more inviting. You can even lean towards whites with a warmer base tone, so it doesn’t feel so stark in your space.  

Think soft rusts, deep reds, and golden yellows. Whether it’s through throw pillows, blankets, or artwork, these colors help create a more intimate feel.
