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/AVvXsEh-AkcmEih-lEMz7yLb5sK-PLZKXtt2v4YIRGs62Pa2luK_Gi00rpTG_Rw-58NNAfbRyDk3Pw1O1VJV2sXvSaNMbPR_vMFbbM7g4NV4wsJniEuaCMteCL7FisUvLz2_WpgxMFlIuNeP/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/AVvXsEiweeaMl5VVGv4yB0NlzfAQV4UVSNAeoKHKru2trQcsqzcuYPyVRRt_BSvGWVmbQzPjkovdfZN7d7s1a4D83-xbJfgApLH01bP-5jCUHmEspXMxatBs5KjW_Kp4ivXu5yVRkf8zc2xS/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/AVvXsEh3QrmSaLb5ppSN7vbBc76OF1Bc1Une5XfSEOk2D9W6Ij1xXBhu0i8-ZfEnd7M1-eYOJ0PMYAU8d634TNQG7ov1oPLJAakhB6eg_lABVuXZeBSZ6fiTOxt4yasmiByzZ6yx6sDF682T/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/AVvXsEjFGVN77VGqh3e-wiZ1QtCP_-GfwinfOgUeLFeI0MXjdjCzxB2w3XS7kXvtyC-FsOGTgc8zJMX671-mL1xO_wZWuRGDDz8ZpC1UNFffIyIZ61fP3S7E5h74x_7TFmj184EvG7I_pNQm/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/AVvXsEgLcJBk6DzPekppCqNw0izWhtXR4ikOMZOHwHhNvc4l9WM1o4WStCni_kVmVSns565bJYRE3rLZgOUP0LClohZcuMvQbzAx-oyoSlPVDb0HuTBBelLv9Jj6pV2v6xMa-1e0n22RH7y8/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/AVvXsEgxi0o8Km4XbhLAyDb_h8kf69k2RsrTqzXXSYQMgIKZApzgTL-Ekd6KV5SpikwrfBnwoWLUQpeyo1un8Ddjg-AkxcwFzyt_6ucKfPg22Rs3RsU8anmXON7VOw06nSYpEqQbsqo6tbNq/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/AVvXsEhw0IFOkS3TXNUe5NHEPsI_eEQlAlRkY8V-QoCD9r2ecATGNpclh_XZ9ZpDMhP9TOv8TNamC_lBn-2WxvcD8ELeLDxtRhphNIBTJIFGA2Lof7Ewh8ILqrMSoBJHCs7OGUb4vbgpqtBR/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/AVvXsEhinkvJQsX7_2Kttpdz3dKp2UiLXyF4ofeFK3zTwQbBmuEHlpA8wvAxQv1z1-Rvu0hUx3qGHN6KYkIANfAHgNYLr4YozphT7xJkNC-ZZxRUUachJMX2CXc8LDB-vXxC59ok2p4KHr4-/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>
