Choose pillows in warm colors made of a soft down mix so they're comfortable to lean into.<i> </i><br /><i>Designer Carla Lane, Los Angeles.</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiloFmaeNYJRVsSRxRmIoQZtK5QNWWhuapGx7GjJ-4vYtBTwcBPzc8WGxlZW4T_VamsQh0k83YSxloVLjhTfd-CKhAiopOJev2n2qgHoGUX4VwCsgSmsNe9duN6E4P2GkImx8iFB8rH/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Create a Hide-a-Way</span> </b></span></div><br />I always tell clients that you can't control the outside world but you can create a world on the inside of your home that is good to you. 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;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhISs1dggT7hHxYYl57EfaYNlxyq-FWJ2wBYRH4Zl6DiaHOj2o3EuBsgnXwP8hXPBUjx9bNq6q0XiC5CNMKUzdRJxZVVRHITDnoGCQ6MCs4wcRW7s4NH8OAQtGfwRtqoSkWYxS09Vua/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></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. Nubby fabrics and textured wool area rugs make a room cozy.<i> </i><br /><i>Designer Patricia Gaylor, Little Falls, New Jersey</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="586" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcMB65sgJaWiEr8CqnA_yyEGuJc_4sGgvRdh8B-S8cNlyASBDHDwDLyhG6aEmT9K3sLdvpvF6_IEaMe0ihH0jK95-Q6X8JbwsomdPRHwB2e25pS41ctqwF1jPu-26AzlasEB8CIPDL/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Make it Your Own</span> </b></span></div><br />Warmth can also come from personalization. Displaying a collection or hanging family photos in unusual frames -- anything that gives a room your personal touch -- is meaningful.<i> </i><br /><i>Designer Patricia Gaylor, Little Falls, New Jersey.</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheLCdylfCaUS1encDq9q6lesMbGI6l85oF1DjK25kLfV2ID5Af8y_JBlEGMh4e1Ki6yJjttSCmoUE19L8dUgDnf5CXbWzeyevRLVMdndBiJNMbkrvDpd1BsetrpmwrXl9Ij61vhUUG/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Sprinkle on Spicy Colors</span> </b></span></div><br />Reds, burgundies, or golds instantly transform a plain room. You don't have to paint the walls; you can add these tones in the drapes, furniture, pillows, rugs, or art.<i> </i><br /><i>Designer Patricia Gaylor, Little Falls, New Jersey.</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho56njU-_z33a2Oqv3uQDlM9sZjXEg-cUDmWZcUd5aiht1Iq7u8wVLL1VDNxLfLUOp4Ru0tAOkZrwpAvF2KqWcBNnreFgoeB8kwE3Fl3nMWHRTeEs_NGhVoRg2FXxLNfwuaJIVNcoX/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Cover Those Windows</span> </b></span></div><br />Drapes warm up a space. 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;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV5xDzuU74-q1nD_V36-LZTMMBHw5nnmZeURPJ-uVBUxs5vwNwFYCTUeGQQQRWHH2_nsyM0GEccVWdgojm9zoqQqJONa5CU8zIOEy7VTlkXfHsMM_iCiiKtASPrqm5_3dPtLurplVN/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></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;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-iLgjQE5lfwA4fQRCdeTRsiHH51IDXaCknrSYeNJIBCxyV5W_L8Ix_ljT8X-_DACVQvOjzuM7mwABdnZaBGHqCdu161V1rXRo9939ylq_TheDVaZu-Nv2XCTHk-iitywG3m8b8ROs/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></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. To avoid the risk of fire, try battery-operated flameless candles (look for versions made with real wax); they emit a nice warm glow.<i> </i><br /><i>Designer Patricia Gaylor, Little Falls, New Jersey.</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg06abO3a2aOQpygQIOK1myxahcqpYtjY7TzJLQnUNO3GhxLf0hs9JlBf-dI9LL5FymRXVQAChEzxrsH0BpqY0t4Z8MiU3Gy-Sd2TKWgoPoCnhtbWJ5k2khQ0GCx71BasUvdwUTLolO/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Go the Extra Mile</span> </b></span></div><br />Place a luxurious throw over a chair or a couch. I always include a high-quality throw in all my clients' family rooms.<i> </i><br /><i>Designer Carla Lane, Los Angeles</i>
