How To Add Warmth To A Room

Beautiful sputnik light fixture for an example of how to add warmth to a room.

  1.  Layer texture: Multiple types of texture in a room really adds both dimension and warmth. Try adding texture via area rugs, pillows, wall coverings, etc. Layering two area rugs under a coffee table can look great and create a warm look.
  2. Add leather: Leather instantly adds warmth to a space. Having a leather couch or even a leather arm chair goes a long way. Use plants and light and bright artwork to counterbalance the leather so that the space doesn’t get too heavy.
  3. Install an interesting overhead light: The sputnik style is unique and is coming back into style.  Intricate overhead lighting casts light in many different directions creating both ambiance and warmth.
  4. Add knits: Knits are automatically cozy. Incorporate knit pillows, throws, poufs, etc. to warm up a space.
  5. Mix glamorous and natural elements: Mixing these two styles lends to a relaxing environment which translates into warmth. Antlers are a popular accessory choice and when mixed with a glamorous touch such as a mirrored lamp base or a beautiful candle the space will be warmer.
  6. Utilize pastels and brass: Mixing these two colors is both attractive and warm. Try painting a room a pastel shade, such as a dusty rose or light blue/gray and hanging brass colored starburst mirrors.
