Cozy Winter Decorating Ideas:
Create a cozy winter aesthetic with vintage items…
Sometimes, you can find inspiration in unexpected places. Last night, we had pre-dinner drinks at The Boat House, a tiny iconic bar in Lambertville, New Jersey. Between the vintage furnishings and the nautical artwork and decor, I felt like I stepped back in time…or maybe into a Ralph Lauren living room…or a Hemingway novel. Either way, the dark wood, vintage books and unique pieces had me thinking about how to add more character to my own home this winter. So, I guess I’ll be heading to the thrift store in the near future.
Repurpose cozy items this winter…
A few years ago, I used to wear those huge blanket scarves…I think we all did. Sure, they were warm and cozy but they were also very bulky and I quickly got tired of mine. While doing a January cleaning in my closet, I made a pile of my plaid scarves to donate. Then had an idea to repurpose some for my cozy winter decorating. So, to brighten up my dining room for January, I used one of my scarves as a table throw.
Even though the vibrant plaid gave some life to my dining table, I wanted a more subtle feel that didn’t compete with the wall color. So, I folded the scarf into a table runner for a simpler look. I’ll probably keep this “runner” out for now…unless I decide to do something for Valentine’s Day in here.
Decorate with neutral colors, natural elements, trays and more…

Shopping Ideas – Cozy Winter Decorating:
In the cold winter months, these shopping finds will keep you warm & toasty!..
First, we’ll start with a warm blanket like this chenille throw that would be perfect if you want to curl up with a good book!
Speaking of good books…if you love the cozy vibes of Ralph Lauren style, add this book to your collection. (After watching his wonderful documentary, I hinted to my husband that I’d love his book for Valentine’s Day!)
If you’re like me, you never have enough throw pillows and these cozy ones come in trending colors.
To mix in some timeless style to your home this winter, you can’t go wrong with a traditional still life at a great price!
For some cozy ambiance this winter, add a classic table lamp (at an amazing price for the look!)
