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/AVvXsEjpQ6uXgSpY-6K3EmEEA2fdgxnFKAO-uPzpc0HKhnADZbleOlwMp4q3NPQKNMyfCf4eEbYj1UQGwlbSGPdLKf7Ir68vWtTziIRgW1zdFHmNwD-LvqpViz5a3IRm3H_jsz2w0ypeoFzg/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/AVvXsEgO-miVPzT45fa_Sdv1hPEvWXSVXa1iQPVy7ZzlNZZ_Jor9RWyi79f_BD2QtPvmyp87GMdXG-_BDbx20VvUVP29tOX5GueRaYg8RFu2qCZS02ovrYDxIImeUZxqlwqrShPKYga-C_Cp/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/AVvXsEiFIZI2X1K9OuwXycAfH6KgfTZRNslMXx3tOTrzjzS62IiMzlL1igeIP5Zbeu86AsvJXiNw7dCMtMBvsCfCOUurX8IeUvx3lZXfIf4hRwDe8j5CweQmn2xQ09fYKHJAX17FHwIjz38f/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/AVvXsEj_oHN4o2cm4Psx0GWKQmWnbzDl6kVPbIaKa6rmlS-78LrJu8sdzTjJoDAwrv3LdlfTcsATg3apWtCMmmd8Ao8czNyiyJb_vg3Z7oIGal-0nUXuQwG4Xut6DiSow7Ym9QQ_d6FoUWwp/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/AVvXsEgjhgyBRMFolIzmJNXrEueIhYSzT_f8FVx7cO_gsLIzXnRkEB2k5ISfg_N_RH6l9EmFADrweYsm9gvPLZOPwjmA0L_p1mKzzZ_EtaG3W2r__ii_Zu3l_Oa1ev0NHjJeKz4-Nl98TTZQ/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/AVvXsEhuWyHuKlYAIg79GTlV7cHsSKBp9iS57yr77SsYtc7PkAIG7zrILPfVfOrOLoY2MldJ-RjTBKcae5Q2QYjVrW4kjBIYHN4rwqvcJKA70p_4Y0XBVqyNlacU3uFlfX1MncacCRDKYeG4/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/AVvXsEhvuJnPk4H5Vn_GECCvREWgiOdLMLLkJE6LmZAoVAoIJtC9fZw-UEW3VAzoOn3pBSPdl-Qzd896sreZFqQJPGo2QamiPFdhofxn3xp2QjhZlaO_4YYFiFFDgbJUUQHphYjsS5lw128r/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/AVvXsEjGuP1k_gzxhwg42DFtGbiMhdZTi3H4-cF80AZWrkDzcYOI8VYgFUuWcR7mQs3FNDXw-Jz4dPyd8ER8FyjG5dh8czwRxUfozU5cur4fyD8yRmYCG86rzeKtqSh7d7CzvMUMawxQi5f1/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>
