Time to Cozy Up
As the warm fall breezes begin to cool and days become shorter, it seems natural that we begin to spend more time indoors cocooning and enjoying cozy times with family and friends.
There are many ways to get that cozy feel. These are just a few:
- Window Coverings: We all love the warmth of the sun beaming through our windows but the cold, wintry breezes and frosty air against the panes in fall and winter can literally and figuratively send a chill through the house. Many shades, including Duette Honeycomb by Hunter Douglas, and ever popular shutters provide excellent insulating value against a wintry blast. Lined draperies that can be closed across your windows provide a warm and beautiful barrier to the elements.
- Good Quality Down Duvets: Polyester filled duvets or comforters provide a soft, cuddly feel but do not “breathe” like a duvet with soft Canadian goose down. The cuddly warmth of a down duvet can be enjoyed as a sleeping partner or curled up with a good movie on your TV room sofa. After all, have you ever seen a goose shivering in the cold? Or sweating in the heat? Clean, quality down is really a year-round game changer for cuddling.
- Throws and Blankets: This is the time of year to add a warm throw or blanket to your décor. Both decorative and cuddly, they are great accent pieces in your family room or bedroom and are easy to wrap around your feet on a cold night or cover you up as you lounge on the sofa.
- Warm Snacks and Drinks: Exchange your frosty coolers for a warm cider. Instead of your favourite chips and dip, try warm appys and snacks to ward off the cool days and nights.
Stay comfy and cozy, and enjoy Ontario’s beautiful fall colours and winter wonderland!
