Flooring materials – Polished floorboards look great, but do you need them in the bedrooms? Putting carpet in these rooms can keep your toes toasty! Window coverings – pelmets and curtains are great ways to keep the heat in and the cold out! Extra insulation – if you live in a particularly cool area, adding extra insulation when building can make all the difference when the nights draw in. ![Fireplace](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/2-Jun-29-2021-05-03-45-39-AM.png?width=700&name=2-Jun-29-2021-05-03-45-39-AM.png) #### Easy ideas to help your home become a winter wonderland Light it up – With the shorter days, keep your living spaces feeling bright and welcoming with extra lighting. Standing lamps are a great way to bring light to the corners of rooms, while using table lamps can help keep those tricky spots warm and bright. Something as simple as changing the colour of your bulbs and LEDs to a warmer white can really make a room more inviting when it’s dark outside. Keep it Cozy – Use the winter as a chance to introduce new colours and textures to your home. Thick throws are great for the living room, turning your couch into a place to snuggle. Fluffy pillows and blankets can make your bedroom even more inviting, and help you sleep through the cold nights and early mornings. Using rugs on cold floors not only help keeps heat in, they also help break up large open plan spaces. Take the opportunity in winter to introduce different colour schemes around the home – earthy, natural tones work well, as do warm oranges and reds to bring back memories of the sunshine. If you’re spending more time indoors this winter, why not rearrange? A change is as good as a rest and maybe now is the time to try out that new set up you’ve been thinking about!
