TAKE OUT THE BLANKETS

To create a comfortabl­e environmen­t, nothing beats a nice pile of blankets. They make the perfect addition to your sofa or the end of the bed. Since there are tons of options, do not hesitate to mix and match colours and fabrics to create your own cozy nook.

STOCK UP ON HEART-WARMING DRINK OPTIONS

Kids and adults alike appreciate feel-good warm beverages during the cold season. To make life easier and ensure you don't run out of choices, get a coffee maker that can offer lots of options while maximizing counter space. The Keurig K35 coffee maker fills the bill as it allows you to brew pretty much anything including coffee, tea, hot cocoa and more.

ADD SOME LIGHTING

Lights make a big difference to the ambiance as sunlight becomes scarcer. Try incorporat­ing a few additional lighting elements like artificial candleligh­t or even string lights to warm up your space.

TIDY UP THE ENTRYWAY

The change of season is the perfect time to clean up the entry. In addition to making room for heavier clothing such as winter jackets and boots, use this occasion to add some personaliz­ed items, maybe a basket full of slippers or scarves. It's a great way to transform your space and add a cozy element for everyone to enjoy.
