The End of Daylight Savings: Your Cozy Home Survival Guide

As November rolls around, so does the end of daylight savings time. While the prospect of gaining an extra hour of sleep sounds appealing, the darker evenings can take a toll on your mood and energy. But it doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom! We will show you how to not only survive but thrive as we transition into the cozier months of the year.


Cozy Textures

Swap out lightweight, summery fabrics for warm and cozy textures like chunky knit, wool, velvet, and faux fur. Add throw blankets, plush cushions, and area rugs to your living spaces. These soft and tactile elements not only make your home more inviting but also provide physical and visual warmth.

Here are some of our favorites to get you started:


Embrace Candlelight

Candles can create a magical and warm ambiance in any room. Opt for scented candles that evoke the scents of autumn, or If you are sensitive to smell, these flameless flickering taper candles are perfect. Be sure to place them strategically on shelves, mantels, or coffee tables for a captivating display.

Check out these beautiful options:


Rich Color Palette

Transition from the bright and airy color palette of summer to deeper, richer tones that exude warmth and comfort. Earthy tones like deep greens, warm browns, and muted oranges can instantly make your space feel more cozy and inviting. You can easily infuse these colors into your decor with throw pillows and artwork.

It always takes a few days to get used to the time difference so give yourself some grace, and then cozy up with your favorite throw blanket and a cup of tea by candlelight and embrace the change of seasons.
