7 Ways To Cozy Up Your Bedroom

I've heard that January is the most depressing month. All the Christmas magic is long gone. The days are short. The weather is cold and dreary. We are months away from summer. Just sounds depressing, doesn't it? I remember last year around this time, we were getting temps in the negative teens. Today, as I am writing this, it's almost 60 degrees. I have no idea what is going on. I'm not hating it. Although my tulips are already coming up and that kind of freaks me out a little bit :) I know the weather is going to turn south any minute now and I'm going to be found cuddling up in my bed as long as I can.

So, what are my secrets to getting a comfy cozy bed that I never want to leave? Here they are!

1. Flannel sheets. I love how soft and warm flannel sheets are. They are perfect to get into after a super long, cold day. I noticed I can get too hot sometimes using both the bottom and top sheet, so I often opt to sleep with no top sheet and use my duvet as one :)

2. Layers and layers. I pile up all the layers on my bed. That means lots of super comfy down pillows, sweater pillow covers, my sheets, the duvet and down comforter, and extra throw blankets. I obviously don't sleep with all the pillows, but it sure does make my bed that much more inviting once night time comes along.

3. Use an all-season down comforter. I just love how comfy, warm, and fluffy my down comforter is. With that baby, it makes getting out of bed seriously hard. It's also important to have a duvet that feels like butter on your skin. Serious. My duvet does that. It's from Crane and Canopy and is completely amazing.

4. Add rugs! Or if you already have rugs, swap out your light summer rugs for some with more plush. Rugs will keep your footsies a lot warmer especially if you have hard floors.

5. Layer your bedroom. Just don't layer your bed, add layers to the rest of your bedroom. Add curtains to your blinds, or even blinds and shades to your windows. Place throw pillows and blankets on chairs or benches. Add a nice soft rug under your bed.

6. Bring in the light. I might be the only one that agrees with this, but it's super easy for me to stay in bed when the rest of the room is super bright during the morning. I love having the sunshine streaming in and hitting my white bedding. Makes me feel like I'm sleeping on a cloud. I can stay in bed all morning long when the blinds are open.

7. Add texture. Adding texture adds to the overall space plus brings in a little bit more coziness too. You can do this with rugs, pillows, throws, and window treatments. Or even bring the outdoors in with this one. Throw some branches into a vase, or wood into the corner of your room.

Bonus: This isn't decor related, but I have noticed that sleeping with socks on during the winter makes me sleep so much better and longer. Going to bed with cold feet is the pits. Your partner thinks so too :) lol. I always wear socks to get a better night's sleep. And yes, your partner will thank you for not using him/her as a foot warmer ;)
