It’s just a great and cost effective way to fill a lot of planters. I always love to buy the pretty blooming flowers too, but they tend to cost a little more. And doing it this way saves some money and looks just as cute in my opinion! What do you guys think?! Let me know below! 👇🏻

Tips on How to Keep Your Home Cozy After Christmas

If you’re wondering if you can still have a cozy home after all the Christmas decor is down, then the answer is yes! I have outlined a few tips on how to keep your home cozy after Christmas.

You can use these ideas if you’re still craving the cozy glow feeling of Christmas. The Christmas tree may be put up, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice that feeling!

Learn how to make your home cozy and implement it all year round! Especially during these harsh Winter months!

How to Keep Your Home Cozy After Christmas

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Keep your Greenery and Plain Trees Out as Winter Decor

One of my biggest tips for how to keep your home cozy after Christmas is to keep out your plain trees and greenery. I still have a lot of my plain bottle brush trees out and I think they look perfect for Winter.

I didn’t want to jump straight into Spring decor, so I think having a lot of deep greens out around the house makes it feel more cozy while still keeping in touch with the season.

Using pine or evergreen needles are a great way to do this as well. You can display them in a jar or a vase or anything simple, the possibilities are endless! 

I am also leaving my pine garland in my dough bowl out a little longer too. I think it’s the perfect step before getting into Valentine’s or Spring decor.

Plain Trees For Winter Decor
As you can see I left my favorite bottle brush trees up on my shelves to enjoy a little longer throughout the winter season!

Use a lot of Texture

I like to add texture in mainly by using pillows and blankets. I love a good cable knit throw and decorative pillow.

You can also use faux furs to make everything feel more warm and cozy inside too. Another thing I like to do is to add a basket with a wicker or seagrass texture to place all my extra pillows and blankets inside of in the living room.

That way you can just grab a blanket whenever you need that extra warmth and it keeps things nice and tidy when you are not using them.

I always love to grab a few textured blankets from TJ Maxx or Homegoods. Especially after Christmas when they have some pretty good sales going on!

Textured Reading Nook
Love all the texture here in this reading nook. From the cable knit blanket, leather chair, and wicker basket, there is plenty to choose from!

Also, my office rug has a lot of texture here as well. You can always use rugs for some added texture in rooms too. Especially if you want to layer them together.

Having a rug in a room that has all wooden floors really helps to warm and cozy up the room!

Use Warm Wood Tones 

We have a lot of white and light gray colors in our home so I love to use wooden tones to balance it out.

Having a wooden piece of furniture against a white shiplap wall really pops and it also makes it feel more cozy and homey inside.

It’s also another good texture to use around the home. I love the contrast it gives and it’s so easy to do just by adding a simple wooden bowl or tray to any room in your home. 

Warm Wood Tones
I love all the wooden tones of the antique rolling pins against the bright white subway tile.
Warm Wood Tones in Living Room
Wood Toned Coffee Table
Here you can see how I use a lot of warm wood tones in my living room.

Find Ways to Use Cozy Lights 

Whether they are string lights or a lamp, find a way to use something other than just regular overhead lighting.

Just having that lighting alone can feel too much and I like to have a soft glow from another light source instead when I am at home relaxing.

I love to have the glow of a candle burning too.

Antique Candle Co in Office
Here is one of my favorite candles from Antique Candle Co!

Not only does it make your space smell great, but it makes it look more cozy too! My favorite candle to have burning are my Antique Candle co candles. Click here to learn more about those if you’re interested!

I have also used string lights in lanterns or even in my centerpiece in my dining room to help keep a cozy glow in the house all year round.

Cozy Lights
Not only is the light from the fire super cozy, but so are the string lights I added around the candle in the lantern.

I hope these simple tips on how to keep your home cozy after Christmas have inspired you and I hope you are able to make your home feel more cozy after reading this.

There’s nothing better than coming home from a hard days work to a nice, comforting and cozy home! Let me know if you try out any of these ideas, or if you have an idea that I didn’t mention above.

I would love to hear them and I hope you all have a cozy day my friends!

    Cozy is SO important this time of year. I love curling up under comfy blankets in front of our fireplace and watching the snowfall outside. We haven’t taken our tree down yet, so I will relax by tree light. That being said, I think I need to incorporate some fairy lights into our living room if I love that ambiance so much!

    Some great tips here! Although I love taking the Christmas decorations down for the fresh start feel, it always feels a little bit less cosy without them. And continuing the cosiness into January is SO important! x

    There are some lovely ideas here. I especially like the textures and the greenery. I keep my blankets out all year round in my living room, and even use them in the summer!!

    Your bottle brush trees look really nice. I don’t have anything like that in my Christmas decor, but I did get myself a new houseplant to brighten up one of my shelves 😊

    I have not yet taken down our tree, lights and holiday decorations around our home. I was so ready for the cheerfulness of Christmas that I decorated early and dread removing it. I’ll miss the cheer! Your idea of leaving some of the greenery, white lights and candles around through January is one I will take to heart.

      Yes you definitely should. I decorated super early too (like in October lol) so I was ready to take down all the red and real Christmasy things. Although I did leave a tree up in our downstairs game room for just a little longer too!

    Your photos are lovely. What a beautiful home you have. We are moving this week and will have two fireplaces, and I cannot wait to decorate those seasonally since I’ve never had one (let alone 2) before. So excited. I like what you said about keeping some pieces out too. We have these pretty gold deer we bought for Christmas but loved them so much we decided to keep them out all winter.

And doing it this way saves some money and looks just as cute in my opinion! What do you guys think?! Let me know below! 👇🏻
