Creating cozy winter outdoor spaces for relaxation

As the days are getting colder, it’s getting tougher to get out of the bed, with our souls urging us to consume some hot tea or coffee in the morning to set the pace of the day. The evenings have started getting darker sooner than they did, with our blankets wrapping us around, creating a perfect setup to start our favourite movie with a hot chocolate in hand. The festivities have begun with the months of November and December adding light to our lives as the streets, homes, shops are all beautifully decorated with vibrant lights. When such atmosphere exists around us, it is easy to say, winter is here. Every season has its own perks, but winter surely tops all the season mainly because of its quietness and cosiness. The season is a beautiful reminder that now the year is coming to an end, and we need to wrap it up by creating beautiful memories with our loved ones and indulging in the festivities. And the first step to do that is undeniably by giving your home a makeover.

So let us give you some tips on how to create your cosy winter home.

Take the living room as an example.

When winter rolls around, the living room becomes an even more important gathering spot for loved ones to spend quality time together. To start making people feel at home, add some cosy touches. A thick and plush Obeetee carpet may transform the floor into a cosy layer of underfoot in no time. Pick on patterns and colours that make you feel cosy and at home; for example, use earthy browns, festive greens, and rich reds for a festive touch. Pile on the shawls, blankets, and pillows to make the room even cosier. To set the mood, lighting is key; use candles or low, gentle lighting to make it feel more personal and tranquil. Gather your chairs around the hearth to make it the showpiece of your living room. Another way to bring nature indoors and create a cosy, wintery atmosphere is with plant life or dried flower arrangements. With the arrival of autumn, your living room should serve as a haven of comfort and relaxation.

Design the Ideal Outdoor Space

Having an outdoor set up this winter is a must-have if you love to enjoy your morning tea or coffee outside in the crisp, cold air. You can turn any outside space—a yard, balcony, or patio—into a cosy retreat. Start with an outdoor-ready, durable Obeetee rug; for an inviting start, choose for a rug with warm colours and patterns. To make rattan chairs (or any seat) warmer, pile on the cushions and shawls. Even on the chilliest days, a small fire pit or patio heater may be a great addition to keep the area toasty. As night falls, string lights or lanterns may create a warm, cosy atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a leisurely evening. A little table with a place to set your mugs of tea or coffee and other decorative items, such candles or potted plants, will finish the look. All you need is these items, and you'll have a winter retreat perfect for relaxing and taking it easy.

Make a Homely Spot in Your Bedroom

First thing in the morning, no one loves to foot on a chilly floor. Add a plush, warm carpet to your bedroom for an extra layer of comfort. The addition of an Obeetee rug in soothing, natural colours might do wonders for the space, turning it into a peaceful retreat. Pile up the blankets and toss pillows to make your bed more cosy and inviting. One possible spot to unwind with a book and a warm beverage before bed is a small armchair or bench adorned with a comfortable throw. Your bedroom may become the perfect winter retreat with the addition of some winter-themed touches, like candles or a vase with dried flowers, and some soft, warm lighting.

Consider Placing a Rug Beneath Your Table

A dining room rug is an essential piece of furniture for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere during winter dinners. Before you buy that soft Obeetee carpet, measure the space under your dining table to ensure that the chairs will fit easily on and off. Rugs with deep colours and intricate patterns can make even the chilliest dining room into a warm and inviting gathering place, ideal for family dinners and holiday gatherings. The velvety underfoot sensation and warm, layered look of the rug are both enhanced by its textural qualities. The rug would be perfect for a wintery room with a centrepiece of pinecones, candles, or greenery. An area rug's ability to dampen ambient noise makes it an ideal acoustic choice for a dining room. Invest in a plush rug to bind the space and make it into a warm dining room, ideal for wintertime gatherings with loved ones.

Beautify Those Vacant Hallways

Many people overlook the significance of corridors, even though they connect all the rooms in their home. This winter, make your hallways feel more like paths by installing some Obeetee runners. Whether you're going for rich, earthy tones or intricate designs, make sure the runner you choose complements the length and breadth of your hall and incorporates seasonal hues and patterns. A hallway rug may do more than just give cosiness; it can also transform an underappreciated space into something more visually appealing. Complement the runner with some soft lights strung around the walls or floor to set the mood. Some winter-themed artwork or small wreaths hung on the wall could complete the cosy ambiance. Your entire house will feel more inviting and comfortable with the addition of seasonal décor to the corridors, and you'll also find that travelling from room to room is more enjoyable.
