8 Tips for Cozy Christmas Decor
The holidays are coming in faster than Santa’s sleigh, and so is cold weather.
When the air starts to nip at your nose and ears, it’s time to bring out cozy Christmas decor. Here are our favorite ways to warm your home — and soul — this season.
1. Christmas Card Blanket
“Peace on Earth!” “Season’s Greetings!” “Happy Holidays!” “Merry Christmas!” ‘Tis the season for decor that speaks to our ears, eyes and touch. Plush quilts with Christmas card faces brighten up the arms of a sofa (or shoulders of a person).
2. Winter Plaid Layers
Plaid throws in Christmas colors is a cute way to get a cabin-in-the-woods look, without the logs, dirt, and frostbite. A plaid reindeer silhouette pillow takes the edge off from a long day of checking off your Christmas to-do’s.
3. Friendly Forest Creatures
Let’s be honest, even the Scroogiest among us loves a whimsical woodland creature. Well-drawn prints and patterns that highlight forest friends add character to your Christmastime home decor. Wrap up in one of these snowy quilts from the holiday collection this season.
4. Snowflakes, Sherpa + Plaid
Snowflakes bring the frost. Plaid brings the cozy. Sherpa brings the warmth. Mix them all together on a sofa or bed (or in a pillow fort — no holds barred here!), and you get cuddly perfection.
5. Velvet Comfort
When the snow is freshly fallen and cinnamon rolls are rising in the oven, all that’s needed is a place to curl up and soak in the magic of the season. What better place to do that than a lush seat you’ll want to run your fingers across and nestle in all season long? Plush velvet with silky smooth fibers are basically the definition of cozy.
6. Cozy Snow Rug
Create a Christmas wonderland with a rug that looks like the kind of powder snow that demands snow angel-making, snowman-building and snowball-packing. Complete the dreamscape with a crackling fireplace, and It’s a Wonderful Life playing in the background.
7. Fur-Trim, Presents-Stuffed Stockings
Don’t wait all the way ‘til the 24th for presents to show up in your home. Stuffed stockings with wrapped boxes tied up with ribbon? It’s the kind of decor the kids (or you) will be eyeing with anticipation and excitement all month long.
8. Warm Metallic Wrapping Paper
And while we’re on the subject of gifts, and the warm-fuzzies you get when giving and receiving them (that’s cozy Christmas in a nutshell!), the warm-fuzzies start with the packaging. Giftwrap is all appearances and pure marketing, in a way. Heighten their anticipation with appealing colors, patterns and textures. Once the season’s over, use those skills for national ad campaigns — those agencies won’t know what's coming for them!
