Opt for a Bed with Texture

The combination of an headboard upholstered in velvet and a plush throw at the foot of the bed make this bedroom design by Sasha Bikoff feel warm and cozy.

Go for a Monochromatic Look

A monochromatic look makes this guest bedroom in a London townhouse even more inviting. To add warmth and texture to the space, hotelier and designer Kit Kemp chose a black-and-white Brunschwig & Fils Toile de Jouy fabric for the walls, canopy, pillows and bedding.

Try a Dark Color Scheme

Certain rooms can benefit from a dark color scheme. In the inviting den of this West Village loft, black walls complement a custom sofa— a 1960s Harvey Probber design that's covered in a grey Ralph Lauren silk velvet.

Layer, Layer, Layer

Warm design needn't be reserved for the den or library. Make your sun-filled living room cozy, too, with abundant layering. This room, at its skeleton, is cold with its exposed brick walls, black window frames and white wooden beams. A plethora of layered rugs, throws and pillows, however, instantly warms it. Try the trick seen here: Layer two rugs on top of each other under the coffee table, then leave a few pillows on the ground to welcome guests to sit wherever they please.

Add Knits Wherever Possible

Knitted materials have a way of making you feel cozied up and at home, and there are many ways to incorporate them into your living spaces. This reading nook pairs a knitted pouf and a knitted blanket with textured pillows, warm woods in the side table and mirror, and a fluffy rug layered over the carpet.

Blend Warm Hues With Books

It's common to think about color first when designing a warm space—and there's a good reason why. Warm hues like gold and chestnut create an inviting, cozy atmosphere in this living room. Adding a collection of books, like that in the coffee table here, also gives a room a sense of quiet, thoughtful coziness.

Consider Your Overhead Lighting

Mix Pastels With Brass

This bedroom blends a rosy pink with two warm brass mirrors, whose color is reflected in the bedspread's front-and-center textured pillow. Golden orange flowers illuminate the dresser, and a soft rug underfoot keeps toes warm in the mornings.

Include A Touch Of Leather

Even if you prefer a minimalist color scheme, just one leather item can warm up the entire space, as the armchair does in this room (even when paired with a cooler gray blanket and pillow). Adding greenery, like potted plants and flower bouquets, can also prevent a warm room from becoming too stuffy and brighten your design in the winter months.

Cool Tones With A Warm Blanket

If your color palette preferences err toward blacks and grays rather than, say, warm browns and mahoganies, offset the coolness of your color scheme with a warm, furry throw. In this room, it instantly heats up the space with soft texture.

Warm Photos And A Reading Lamp

This cozy living room has all the elements of warmth and comfort: a surplus of pillows, a textured rug underfoot and a luscious green plant. Perhaps most striking, however, is the quadrant of warm-hued photos that add shades of orange and yellow to the room, and a curved reading lamp that makes the space feel like a relaxing reading nook.

Use Texture Wherever You Can

Texture is important for a warm space, but not just when it comes to a blanket or a pillow. Case in point: This room features woven plate hangings, textured window shades and basket to hold furry textiles. A bright blue rug adds a pop of color to the warm browns that fill the space.

Mix A Glam Element With A Woodsy Element

13 Easy Ways to Craft a Cozy Room That's Perfect for Fall

Just one woodsy accent, like the antlers shown here, won't make your space feel like a cabin—especially if you pair it with a playful element, like the "XOXO" marquee sign. While a forest element can make a space feel cozy, a playful accent makes the room welcoming and relaxed (key elements of warm interior design).
