Fall-Winter Living Room

With the cold weather gradually setting in you want to make sure you cosy up your home atmosphere. Colours play an important role in brightening up any room and is a sure-fire way to banish the winter doldrums as well!

Don’t get scared, you don’t have to change the whole décor but even few bits and bobs make a big difference to a room. A rug here and a few candles there change the feel of the room.

So here goes…

1. Decorate with Warm Colours

To give an instantly cosy and warm feel to the room you can use fire-hued tones gold, orange, terra-cotta, and red. If those are too intense for you then even softer tones of yellow, gold, brick, and rust will have a similar warming effect.

2. Add Summer Glow



Snuggle with a Throw

No need for a blazing fireplaces if you don’t have/want one but just set candles on the coffee/side tables. The flickering light reflects intimacy and warmth. You can also use soft glow lamps instead of lighting a fire and can appreciate warmth it spreads.

3. Your Best Throw

I usually bring out my cosy knit throws over chairs and sofas. Choose lovely colours and patterns and are useful to snuggle around chilly knees and feet. Throws can be a wonderful addition to bedrooms.

4. Rugs Galore



Warmth Underfoot

Bare floors may be great for summer, but they are downright uninviting in winter so switch to area rugs to give toes a warmer feel underfoot.

5. Keep the Chill Out

Is your favourite recliner next to a window? Maybe you can move the chair to a warmer spot in the room and add insulations to your window or even thicker curtains.

6. Accessorize with bits and bobs

Pull out cosy fleece pillows in warm colours colour coordinate with your throws or rugs. Even these small touches will make a room feel season-appropriate for winter.

7. Warming with Activities

Dig out your family photo albums, write letters, or play Monopoly on the warm rug. Roast marshmallows or pop popcorn as these can be great memory-makers that the entire family can enjoy.

8. Experience Summer Warmth

Fill your home with the warm scents of spices. Candles, food, and scented sprays are a few of the many alternatives for adding soothing scents to your space.

Fire and Light makes your house Warm and Nice

Dawn of the New year

Here we are at the foothills of the New Year,
New horizons seen through the mist of the night,
New plans, new ways, new mistakes and new pledges,
Here we are at the edge of the cliff, for the old year has just passed us by...

For a while I have been wanting to start my own blog
To write whats in my mind and what my thoughts are,
but its only on the eve of the New Year that I found the time atlast!
Probably thoughts are always put into plans at beginging of New year!

Thats why so many people make resolutions and pledges only to be forgotten later,
But my plan is not a pledge, its a promise to myself
So here I am starting the New Year with poem of my own

The year might be old but let us bid our last adieu,
As we start another year anew,
From strength to determination to succeed,
Last year we gathered everthing we need,
Through friends, Success, and wealth amassed,
The old year has gone by very fast!
But once again as you go, Dear Auld year,
give us all the strength to learn and persevere,
As we bid you goodbye atlast,
I thank God for everything to us you passed,
We welcome the New year but wont forget you,
As you brought to us some miracles and blessings too!
I will cherish the moments you brought to me,
and remember you with warmth and glee,
Goodbye Old Year we bid you adieu,
To Welcome the year so Bright and New!
If it didn't bring you joy just leave it behind,
Let's ring in the new year with good things in mind,
Let's forget past mistakes, making amends this year,
Sending you these greetings to bring you hope and cheer!
So heres Wishing you all a Very Happy New Year!
