In the winter, your comfy sofa takes on a whole new deep-seated meaning: the sofa comes to represent a domestic life of comfort, warmth and safety. Consider something plush for the winter and match it with your living room décor.

If you already have a working fireplace then stock up on the firewood for the winter. Clean it out or spruce up the mantel to enhance its aesthetic appeal.
If you don’t have a fireplace, then, perhaps, you should think about getting an electric fireplace -with heat, sound effects and remote control- for your living room. This will enhance your entire living room and the room will seem a lot cozier. You’ll love relaxing by the fire on cold nights with your guests.
Scented Candles

Scented candles set the mood in a room and create a most relaxing ambience. It’s best to purchase soy candles as they are soot-free. Your family and friends will love relaxing in your living room, sitting in the candle-light and appreciating the subdued ambience that you have created.
Drapery-Free Windows

A must-have for this winter is drapery-free windows. Let the natural light showcase your elegant design style.
Throws

Throws have a dual function: as blankets when you are chilled and as decorations on your couch or bed when you aren’t. Oversized cashmere throws that match the décor of your living room will entice people to visit your house; you’ll never have to venture out into the harsh cold winter.
If you want to add a bit of color to your bedroom, choose a textured and colorful throw. It’s time to now wrap yourself up in delight.
Plush Accessories

Accessories should include those that exude a wintery feel and that also enhance the overall décor. With so many different accessories from which to choose, select the ones that showcase your personality and elegant design style.
