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/AVvXsEhghg6yFwhrBRhptUTXDYDnVBRp4o6o3lZdLGiaH0sw4lm9W4FeLtK97MewU-P-8lE1gnEBhsTi2hjcT5E85hRaekweCKNNN9oxkJE2zCqaxyg2bbuzjFBn8Gr5GGxV1ef5jiXqq-he/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/AVvXsEgylf0lhuBeenupPo6fLEjcitjpYnNOTwpylIUvcn9yw4wOfBA5hV8CtT3bv8ouZUxOuHu9NFEeNIbbVE2nFytRzZaBpEST2BmDj-HYabpfjjIePwmOFuo53xzYDg8C4w-dLbe35Vlb/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/AVvXsEgnttJ711s2r-Ll8X-Zh2aoUD_OcdprCSUWt_mBCZybEwMADc-6rkgIJHrEol0fjcUx9kEEKWyAXd9kUeHlt5Nt3Rs97vAsajDbLmaXDyFE4Kf4mVinNDyBH2l7jv1JWE5ADpINgOwG/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/AVvXsEiPYBKlp0P2H8ewEltlRNsoSskHQeH3bZ4_8WG6jPapjAqlIKqb7f_gziP9lIuyBSfF8cxQH4YRl0A_eR85xI32d49SOgCJlcItZXCvQpvMoC7i2kLyWN65bvNxDif6I7IlfmKfud2q/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/AVvXsEjYkXnjMzE6a0lsUL3oaScbbinF8l8rYbD4efH5Vw3jbZGVZdBXVjp_qt1AxLEXzVgA4VGlFUn8fGIKHbK4-x77VQAaNpIaazg_oeBMLWS10PGZB5cN06Zviggbm68-yRoJFP5iLw56/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/AVvXsEiwiKHCBYLlZDlzF8peX9Y9LCRS5rNRRwCQ6F0wwzNbuBhtjarXccieob3U_iIgM71DeJQP0NQLZPV2iqZwy-Nw0R2qqOiZM58xji5IRvgwshfmVqB-xFF9vQo3pW2zW2_eG_40ECh3/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/AVvXsEiFw9tYWgD0I-vhOHNzFkqGYT-ySvCo5CXqnlEe4COqeZ2CP_nF2qPVQlQKZI8cRR5CSvGKpntSGUejfsOhTcol0BqtV2ivGHb-_igcyRe46Wwd55RlaILkfZjh8Yjh3-C2gZe6R7ap/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/AVvXsEhIB1N4n-gA413Hh-9gnWkQaVnI7zlZLo1s9TsPWFEqapcfbXPqjekvex1MYWGUJSRce0A_k0lkFIyfRRsYeEiP8aPoXZj52QAhMr8Qh40QEnh1RphHwwKNYyNqxwlLTRH7uQ_tvn1B/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>
