If you are hanging heavier drapes you may need new brackets that can hold the weight of such a posh velvet! Even if you don’t need new ones Kravet’s Antler Finial Woodland collection just may tempt you to switch out your traditional finial for a more dramatic winter look.  These are wintery, rustic and down right cool, and we can get them for you!

Pile on the extra blankets, faux fur pillows and throws. Not only does layering add beauty and a hint of romance to your bedding but also warmth.  These faux fur pillows and blankets instantly add a cozy element to the entire space.

Switch to a heavier down comforter. There are plenty of options these days in down comforters so I’m giving you the quick skinny on how to choose. There is such a thing as fill power. The higher the fill (the cushy stuff on the inside of your comforter) the thicker and better quality you will have in the down comforter. Larger packed down creates a more breathable, warmer down and is likely to last longer than lower grade fills. Most “luxury” fills have no less than 700 fill power, while the next best thing, called a ” high” quality down, will give no less than 500 fill and a lower grade, lighter fill is 400 and under. That being said I always switch out my down comforter to a heavier fill in winter.

Chic underfoot perfection. Love how this shag throw rug is layered over a vintage wool rug and hardwood flooring. A mix of pattern and placement here works well and keeps this space cozily balanced.
