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/AVvXsEgWTsJbUME2gjG6Qf3-qPOPCaIvkbW9b2-yzvwrNIVl0ekirlzZ1mrz5Wjlp_gzST8mEScwndxU1sUpvMZ_oKSR3GrHHb3u0pXuZT1sKLaNowgtIGAQHGfdTsEO8mJGnBPjy7D4YMvA/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/AVvXsEjwVwKovy-jYMzZKvEhaxlvJ_mzTHfzP2V71bB2DsaQ2G4R-VqAaoV1nJ8lwUqcUbEji6f-8P3yUdgAmnNv8rQ179n_87ksfFSQnnpMi6kfjG3dX5LwCGGIam-3QOUh37Kyo7QY_LxZ/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/AVvXsEhHA9NZ0_MFenepV0Yk2DUkowzOlDLZiS7wlOJECNFfcpRqvu9AeSxgAKr7Sw4hkGy2tza55im8hR4HxajYGMtNthI8uXxCeWA4j3q4o3sM-m8q7OQemewSv2RAW50SbTBnmYuwkwLo/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/AVvXsEi5xlghMnlGsh79gOBjVvvob72UkzSpO2m_A-S5xKdRWiw_Smu25bTA4s1J-m9MUxZsjMjLdaBFASv1SGy9WjtM0yXBf3PiIPbAI5qAAea-cifZb7MvKHkveuUVw7moyNsaLoM1UhvH/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/AVvXsEgfTnDKF-xvclgqiUANXfqQrm5TmdgKE5OEEYVsSwkTFc4UWfkXMaEwlrl2RzGZtO7KwBUwgfMsK7gpSol0ga38dRQjFgL7hJuRXVg5k8AujgdCvTV6jHnqnc_bpwsUWVQ3DK2Kufbw/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/AVvXsEguAot-LMYWdwUnqS8FnSIGcHpbvPs9J0Eyp-OaMxULSwtcTX-FnS8_wMqI9x8z3FiX3oDLhpwcBofkX_dHax6Y8ucl9HiG3_sIhQ2Fg7EohAgzM4BTsHPtEGjKPwHafAjOrboOfz07/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/AVvXsEih2lpej54_zfmnZ8YpugLRNCEvqpP5udm8yakmBiToa1nslyqKWweDnPuycfKDz7B4B_IfqaA3DiDp1S5p3BeJzfdhUncApgSarZBm2NO16o1SXJ2EFzC1DhnUpcEIH-1R-9ZP4Y_A/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/AVvXsEjEhCEHlcUSMbrFo18DmILyJtxDVKwwLDPHcLv-YKFU8bVn69IYPfH3ThzeROZU_Z7-Yphi6UDbhPYpitany2ltYo-l9v4ydYwovO8XtTkW2o1mXYUduVPGTQWDoDko_8vCPiXyZMPB/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>
