In the fall, when you'll be spending more time indoors, it's important to carve out a corner for yourself. Maybe it's a tabletop in the corner of your living room or in your bedroom. Fill a bulletin board with images of things you love: photos and mementos from trips, ticket stubs from a great show, cherished letters. Small collections of shells, rocks, and candles are simple things that are good for your soul.<i> </i><br /><i>Designer Stephen Saint-Onge, New York City.</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO9meo5bW7_mAyHrfoDoWl2ZoPPeedYasdO8Qk2s7W4h0GriSPAi7FUTS_PCuj6QbCL3BzWq49N_QvnCSwir3s9-M_dNrT30x7AnlNfZef7rCAnfdzbCIrg7f0NqQqR_E-DrAUESV0/s1600/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO9meo5bW7_mAyHrfoDoWl2ZoPPeedYasdO8Qk2s7W4h0GriSPAi7FUTS_PCuj6QbCL3BzWq49N_QvnCSwir3s9-M_dNrT30x7AnlNfZef7rCAnfdzbCIrg7f0NqQqR_E-DrAUESV0/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Add a Layer of Texture</span> </b></span></div><br />Anything with texture adds dimension.

If you currently have wood blinds or mini-blinds, consider changing those for a fabric Roman shade, or even better, add floor-to-ceiling drapes. The fabric softens the room and adds glamour.<i> </i><br /><i>Designer Erinn Valencich, Los Angeles.</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe1zd1KpO93x06xkuUzjapvXD1p2oXsOAH06kSsGUeA6uzppZhTXOmq0a1Ac8Twttg4O5g0xCMMzUWlPoX23jEe_LNYx7GkfK9gX8dydZiPbvBsOxtsiL-fXqU_UUosOxs-hd-6FzF/s1600/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe1zd1KpO93x06xkuUzjapvXD1p2oXsOAH06kSsGUeA6uzppZhTXOmq0a1Ac8Twttg4O5g0xCMMzUWlPoX23jEe_LNYx7GkfK9gX8dydZiPbvBsOxtsiL-fXqU_UUosOxs-hd-6FzF/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Think Accessories</span> </b></span></div><br />It's all in the accessories. If a room is empty, it's going to feel cold and unwelcoming. Style every table with personalized vignettes: Choose a few special items, keeping in mind that contrasts in shape and texture work best. I always look for funky, slightly off-the-wall pieces at antiques stores and flea markets. These have the most personality and are conversation-starters when put on display.<i> </i><br /><i>Designer Erinn Valencich, Los Angeles.</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9tPIW511t6rhqESLs3cDl8y5bpRT_V_NL-ysNHmQMTQmuouxTA5nr0tNEJ2U_y-ITDUcfn7FXvLqxb2UgMG05zFI-GFWxnGPr8otFmVIPmnennfN5hub9_zNUhaMOO5XelkjKQ2K1/s1600/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9tPIW511t6rhqESLs3cDl8y5bpRT_V_NL-ysNHmQMTQmuouxTA5nr0tNEJ2U_y-ITDUcfn7FXvLqxb2UgMG05zFI-GFWxnGPr8otFmVIPmnennfN5hub9_zNUhaMOO5XelkjKQ2K1/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Light Up</span> </b></span></div><br />Candles bring mood and character to a space.

5 elegant ways to add warmth to your home

The modern trend when it comes to building homes and designing interiors is to opt for a futuristic, spade age-styled minimalist look that borrows from plenty of whites, grays and blacks. The look is often robotic resulting in homes that are great to look at and visit, but bland and lifeless to live in. It’s like your home lacks a personality and face of its own<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK_sthPynWv0EsHkiwGGPGieqf9BelnL8cn0OgiglzA5R5IVu9TPbU20HIHJDNe4B796bfTr2lusejIrAsQ9VdpNgpz9v4iqG8quYVsnRNO-2Tb5f1kNHZ2YZsSGdokYXJA7-9FgIlpLOP/s1600-h/warm-house-interior.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321589366775242914" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK_sthPynWv0EsHkiwGGPGieqf9BelnL8cn0OgiglzA5R5IVu9TPbU20HIHJDNe4B796bfTr2lusejIrAsQ9VdpNgpz9v4iqG8quYVsnRNO-2Tb5f1kNHZ2YZsSGdokYXJA7-9FgIlpLOP/s400/warm-house-interior.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br />Without that unique identity, that personal touch and the exclusive warmth that makes you feel that you belong here; it is really hard to call it your ‘own’. Adding warmth to a place is not as difficult though as many make it out to be.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;">These simple steps will help you turn the stylish house into your comfortable home!</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff9900;">Add a fireplace to create a more ambient atmosphere</span><br /><br />Instead of opting for the modern fireplaces that use plastic materials and a combustible gas for fuel, go traditional with your fireplace mantle. This gives the home a personal look and a timeless charm. A wooden fireplace mantle is a classic that turns out to be a winner on every occasion. But in case your home uses plenty of glass, then a stone mantle styled elegantly is also an excellent choice. This instantly adds warmth to your home in more than just one way, you know …<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff9900;">Pick vibrant colors, shades and textures</span><br /><br />Instead of sticking to what is on offer go with the warmer shades like variations of red, orange and yellow. Also if you love the blue sky, the gentle green or even the cute pink, then go for it. Of course, make sure that this is a gentle transformation and not a glaring oddity. Then you can change the textures by choosing patterns that are bold, yet acceptable. This will add immensely to the coziness of your home and it will also give you an excellent opportunity to get creative.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhJ2xfK4p-bnzvFb3WaRwJkDUGE03DC6DPZlAUOElxRgdZ2_z9E8LR6a1aBtIQ2m3dJu9A6_TjzfSck0puDdXvXKMhGLGI5DDiM3CGoLthD8QnWQbARIKIxOZIY2HY5VlAx0mFnvlxkzrN/s1600-h/warm-room-interior21.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321589123189987826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhJ2xfK4p-bnzvFb3WaRwJkDUGE03DC6DPZlAUOElxRgdZ2_z9E8LR6a1aBtIQ2m3dJu9A6_TjzfSck0puDdXvXKMhGLGI5DDiM3CGoLthD8QnWQbARIKIxOZIY2HY5VlAx0mFnvlxkzrN/s400/warm-room-interior21.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 396px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><span style="color:#ff9900;"><br />Candles, books and green shrubs</span><br /><br />A great book collection, wonderful arrangement of candles or an excellent sue of indoor potted plants and shrubs instantly makes the place a lot friendlier and warm. You can always improvise on this by adding stuff that you like, making your own collection of items and adding more life to the walls. Wicker baskets that hold stuff are also a favorite among people when it comes to creating an affectionate atmosphere.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff9900;">Use of personal items, collectibles and photographs</span><br /><br />There is obviously nothing that offers a home its unique flavor like personal items beautifully arranged. You still have those special photographs that share your great times with your guests? They do bring back some wonderful memories. Both items also tend to become great conversation pieces and if you happen to have a rare or exclusive collectible, then that only adds to the fun.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Uh4gGEy_dOnPkh9Ij70496HleMYo85uldfU2Fh8tQ6YBykmJvrzHthlGQAVcEKKGLMgoesSEsaYKWm8JQyfSEN-tumPd4TTEDEMPsB2yKRY2qMGpaTf7hdmIo66rY-Xj9nRF49KvVBLJ/s1600-h/warm-room-interior.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321588990705069074" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Uh4gGEy_dOnPkh9Ij70496HleMYo85uldfU2Fh8tQ6YBykmJvrzHthlGQAVcEKKGLMgoesSEsaYKWm8JQyfSEN-tumPd4TTEDEMPsB2yKRY2qMGpaTf7hdmIo66rY-Xj9nRF49KvVBLJ/s400/warm-room-interior.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><span style="color:#ff9900;"><br />Lamps shades, curtains, velvet and wool<br /></span><br />Rule of thumb: materials such as velvet and wool always help make your home a lot cozier and give it a very warm look. Using a retro-styled lamp shade, curtains made out of Felicia or Terracotta and you’re only adding to the affect. Just mix and match them wisely with the existing interiors and they are sure to work their magic.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">No matter how great your home looks, it is important to give it that snuggly and inviting look to ensure that both you and those who visit you once in a while are comfortable and do not feel out of place. It is not a difficult task and once you get started, you will find new ways of making the four walls around you become a natural extension of your thoughts, feelings and emotions!</span>
