Winter mood:how do you prepare your house for winter?

Short days, crisp mornings, and the heating turned up a notch. Winter is gently knocking at the door — and this is the perfect moment to transform your interior into a warm, inviting space. With just a few simple changes, you can bring atmosphere, comfort, and tranquility into your home.

Ready to make things extra cozy indoors? Below you'll find a few tips, or watch the video for inspiration:

1. Add warm elements to your interior

Start with soft textiles, which will instantly make your home feel warmer. Think of new cushions on the sofa, a cozy throw over the bed, or a soft blanket on the chaise longue. Choose rich textures like wool or velvet, in shades that radiate warmth.

Wood and natural materials complete the look. A wooden side table, a woven basket, or a ceramic vase bring calm and give your interior that wintry depth without overdoing it. Create a cozy corner that invites you to linger for a while.


2. A Wool rug as a warm foundation

Nothing feels as homely as a soft rug under your feet. Imagine: you get out of bed and your feet immediately touch the warm, woolly fibers of a natural rug.

A Wool rug not only adds comfort, but also retains heat — perfect for the colder months. And do you have underfloor heating? Wool works effortlessly with it.

3. Set the mood with atmospheric lighting 

Lighting makes or breaks the atmosphere. When it gets dark earlier outside, choose warm lighting indoors. Candles on the table, an ambient lamp in the corner, or dimmable spotlights above the dining table add that little extra touch.

Combine different light sources for layering — just like with textiles. This creates a softness in the room that perfectly suits long evenings and short days.


4. Unwind in your own winter cocoon

Now that everything is in place, it's time to enjoy. Make yourself a lovely cup of tea and snuggle up under a warm blanket. With the above winter styling tips, you’ll transform your home into an oasis of comfort and warmth. This way, your house becomes a place where you’ll happily embrace the cold.

Frequently asked questions about this topic

How can you make your home warmer without immediately turning up the thermostat?

You can make your home feel warmer by working with textiles, natural materials and soft layers.
Rugs, throws and cushions provide comfort for hands and feet, while wood and wool add warmth and calm to the interior.

Which materials create a warm feeling in the home during winter?

Materials such as wool, wood and other natural fibers contribute to a warmer, softer interior feel.
They feel pleasant to the touch, add texture to the space and help create a winter cocoon without weighing down the interior.

Does a rug really make your home cozier in winter?

A rug makes a room visually and physically more pleasant during the winter months.
It softens hard floors, brings cohesion to the interior, and invites you to stay in a room longer.

Does a Wool rug work with underfloor heating?

Wool can be well combined with underfloor heating when the rug allows heat to pass through.
This preserves comfort without disrupting heat circulation, resulting in warm feet and a pleasant living space.

How do you create a cozy atmosphere at home during short winter days?

A warm atmosphere is created by combining layers: soft textiles, warm lighting, and calm materials.
By bringing together different light sources and textures, a space feels softer and more comforting.

How does the layout of your interior affect the feeling of warmth in winter?

The way furniture and soft materials are arranged has a direct impact on how warm a room feels.
By bringing seating closer together, softening walkways with textiles, and visually structuring open spaces, warmth is better retained within the room.

A rug that links furniture, curtains that frame the window, and a deliberately defined reading corner together create a cozy, secure feeling—without adjusting the heating itself.
