How to make your home cosy for guests this Christmas

You’ve eaten 25 pigs in blankets, been drinking Baileys since 9am, there’s presents everywhere patiently waiting to be put away and it’s that time on Christmas Day when everyone is winding down and getting cosy.

Cosiness and Christmas time come hand in hand and making your home a cosy wonderland ready for guests is as important as the day itself!

There are plenty of ways to make your home nice and cosy this festive season and in this blog, we have gathered a few ideas to help you out!

1. Lighting is everything- Utilise your lights to make your home feel extra cosy this Christmas. Turn off the big light and opt for lamps instead, illuminate your living space using the lights on your Christmas tree or make the most of natural light by opening your blinds and letting the winter sunshine through. If you want to feel really cosy why not light a candle or even a fire and let the flames flicker whilst you snuggle up.
2. Add soft furnishings- When it comes to blankets and pillows, at Christmas, more is more! Scatter cushions on the sofa and soft blankets add a cosy feel, meaning you can snuggle up and be toasty and warm while watching your favourite film or playing games with your loved ones.
3. Make it personal- Adding ornaments or decorations that are personal to you and your loved ones is a perfect way to enhance the cosy vibes this Christmas. Whether its homemade ornaments hanging on the tree, embroidered cushions or just adding a touch of your personal style to your home, making your space unique to you and your loved ones is the best way to ramp up the cosy vibes.
4. Lean into your colour scheme- If you love neutrals why not choose a neutral blind and opt for soft shades of cream and beige for your soft furnishings to tie it all together. If you are looking for something that really feels Christmassy, opt for green and red blankets and cushions, paired with white blinds or our Perfect Fit Shutters, you will really feel the festive vibes.

By incorporating some of these tips and tricks into your home, you can make your home as cosy as possible this Christmas.
