Living Room, Old Black Cedar House, Winter

Three easy ways to make a cozy living room


*SUCH a big thank you to Wayfair for sponsoring this post! Happy shopping opinions are all my own! For more information, see my disclosure policy here.*

There’s just nothing like winter in the mountains! Snowflakes are just dumping from the sky this morning and not only does everything look so lovely blanketed in white, but it’s giving our little town SUCH energy and excitement as everyone gears up for another awesome ski season!

With the snow flying outside, finding a comfy, cozy spot inside becomes even more essential this time of year! So, I thought I’d share three easy ways to cozy up your living room this winter!

Easy ways to cozy up your Home this Winter - making it in the mountains
 
 

One. Pillows

Nothing says comfy like a soft nest of pillows! How could you possibly curl up on the couch in front of the fire without some luxurious pillows to sink into? They are the easiest way to inject some colour and personality into a room and obviously an essential part to making things feel comfy and cozy!

Two. Throws

I couldn’t possibly live without a warm throw blanket (or ten) on my couch! If fact, even on the warmest days of summer (which baffles my hubby), I can’t curl up on the couch without a blanket! There’s just something about snuggling in with a soft blanket wrapped around you that screams comfy, cozy and relaxing!!!

Three. Poufs

Not only are poufs a great way to add colour and style to your room, they’re SO perfect for kicking up your feet after a long day on the slopes (or at work through the rest of the week). Even better, they offer some extra seating for those holiday get-togethers as everyone visits in front of the fire!

As you can see, there were SO many options that I had the hardest time in the world choosing what we needed most in our living room, but after AAAAALOT of window shopping, these gorgeous linen pillows won out!

I really love that I can mix and match the different grain stripes on either side of the pillow!

    Seriously, Kristi, how do you get any work done with that view out your living room window? Gorgeous! And yes, I’m crushing on all things Wayfair this holiday season too (did you see how many items from there were on my gift guide?) 😉 I love the throws and pouffs especially! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week, friend!

    Even in summer, I need to curl up with a blanket, as well. My husband thinks I’m insane. 😛 I love the ones you chose! All that texture is incredibly inviting. It looks so comfortable!

    Thanks for sharing! 🙂

    Cozy indeed!! I love all the shopping finds (um, that Scandinavian stool is calling my name!) and the final choices. My Christmas list definitely has a fur throw and some knit pillows on it this year. Your LR looks so good! (And can we just talk for a minute about the side table by your sofa- it is awesome!!) Hope I’ll see you at Found & Foraged tonight! xo!

    The view outside that window… I’m so intrigued!! I’d always want to sit facing that way on the couch 😛
    Great tips, Kristi!! Poufs, pillows, and throws are my three favorite things, no joke!

    Love this post it all looks so cozy. I think I need two of the toss pillows. The view from your window would make my hubby so jealous, giggle. Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop I featured you on facebook and google plus. xo
