Home is where the heart is and would you rather not have your heart set on something beautiful? As the temperature goes down and the fog comes up, make sure your home feels cozy and inviting by using these ways to give it a little makeover.
Pooja Sharma, design head and director, Studio 13 Design Pvt. Ltd., shares how:
Home fragrance
It can help to create a warm atmosphere. Try choosing woody aroma for diffusers. Scented candles can help in warming a room. Scented sticks in fragrances of cinnamon, rosewood and sandalwood are soothing and are the best inviting aromas.

Proper use of rugs, blankets
Place all heavy rugs and blankets in living and bedrooms. Try covering a bare floor with a thick rug so as to make that space look warmer and comfortable.

Dark tones
Swap all those pastel shades with darker tones, as bright and dark colours are full of warmth. For winters, pick fabrics such as velvet, cashmere, wool or faux with brighter shades, floral or strip prints, over-sized geometric designs for rugs and cushions. Cosy up your couch with a plush throw or wrap the seat cushion with faux fur.
