Tomorrow is the first of December. The official start to Winter and the start of the count down to Christmas. God how this year has flown by.
When it comes to this time of year most people spend much more time inside. Keeping warm and cosy. Watching movies, drinking hot drinks and relaxing when ever they can. Most people are tired to, as it is coming to the end of the long (yet very fast) year.
My room at university has been lacking that cosy factor so I have been redecorating. Adding accessories that are cosy and comforting for them cold winter days.
The first thing a lot of people think of when it comes to making a place feel more like home is candles. Unfortunately I am not allowed them in my university halls but I found these cute, battery operated ones in ASDA and they are actually pretty great! Granted they don't give a smell but they do flicker like candles and do make the place feel more cosy.
Moving on from candles I always think, darker tones and colours with lights, are a great way of giving a homely feeling.
One of my favourite things in my room is this Star light from Primark. Stars have a bit of sentimental factor to me so I had to have one in my room. It doesn't give much light but it is very eye catching in a room. Plus it is battery operated so you don't need to worry to much about wires and where you are going to place it.
I recently bought this lantern from Wilkinson's which I'm in love with. I think anything that is a rich copper or dark bronze colour makes any room feel cosy. For pieces that are so inexpensive, it has really made my room feel more like home and a perfect environment for winter days when I just want to sit, blog, do some work or just watch movies all day.
Hope you enjoyed,
