But how do you make a home LOOK warm? How do you give it that cosy feeling that looks good all the year round, but is particularly suitable for the winter months? That’s where your practical side has to take a (cosy) back seat, and allow the artsy side of you to step forward... 1) Warm textures Think of it like this – no one wears a metal scarf. So decorate your home with the textures that look as if they’d be warm to wear. Use lots of knitted textures in cushions, throws, door stops, draught excluders. Faux fur is also very effective for adding warmth. Fill your home with things you would want to touch, whether it’s wood or fabric. And keep your feet warm not just with slippers, but with carpets, rugs and floor runners. Contrast and layer material finishes, such as a leather sofa, a deep-pile wool rug and a wooden coffee table. The different textures offset each other for a beautiful, luxurious effect. 2) Warm colours Dark green, deep purple, red, orange and brown – these are the colours that are good for making a room feel cosier. In the colder months lots of white, light blue, light green and light purple make a room feel bigger and therefore colder. So if you use a light or neutral colour, balance it with some bold “splashes” – such as dark blue, red and deep green. If you do this with accessories like cushions, you can even swap things around as the seasons change. 6
IAAK Jan 2016.indd 6-7
3) Warm patterns It’s true that patterns feel warmer than plain expanses of colour, so introduce patterns to your planning whenever you can.
5
The surprise hit this winter is tartan, available in cushions, throws, duvet covers and even a Vivienne Westwood plum and green wallpaper, if you’re feeling bold. Folksy is also a hit this winter, with a variety of Nordic-influenced “homespun” designs. In a bedroom setting, try changing your bed linen to a seasonal shade, or a cosy “winter warmer” pattern at the same time as you increase the duvet tog-rating. 4) Warm scents You probably know the old estate agent’s trick of making a house seem more welcoming to a potential buyer by unleashing the smell of freshlymade coffee. But it’s surprising how few people forget their noses when they’re decorating. Perfect scents make, erm, perfect sense for winter. They would include cinnamon, cookie dough, pine, plum, spiced apple and orange in candles, oils, reed diffusers or heated potpourri. And don’t forget the power of all those textures we mentioned earlier – the smells of wood and fabric, especially when they’re new.

Add a Little Spice
to your Holiday
Are you feeling the effects of the winter blues; are you dreaming of white sandy beaches, crystal turquoise waters, and friendly and welcoming locals and amazing food, then let us transport you away from the cold and dreary to the wonderful island of Grenada.
Remember “vintage” and “rustic” are cosy, winter words, whereas “modern” and “factory-made” just aren’t. That’s why pubs have old, wooden agricultural tools on the wall.
When I visited the island in September I didn’t really know much about it apart from the fact that it was situated below the hurricane belt and that it was known as the Spice Island of the Caribbean, well my quick introduction to Grenada left me blown away, it has so much more to offer than the usual fly and flop Caribbean holiday.
6) Warm lighting We all know that lighting make a difference to any room – and yet very few of us make the effort to actually change the lighting between summer and winter. Switch ‘cool’ light bulbs for ‘warm’ ones and even switch light shades if you’re after a more dramatic effect. Having candles at varying heights is good too, as it casts different, subtly changing light and looks more appealing. Just make sure they’re out when you are.

5) Warm Fireplace Don’t just light the fire, make it a focal point. Put some eye catching accessories on the mantelpiece, and build up the hearth with beautiful ornaments (if the fire’s on) or beautiful plants (if the fireplace is purely decorative). Put a rug in front of the fireplace, add your favourite armchair nearby and perhaps a side table for a mug of cocoa – or a glass of whisky – and you’re saying “cosy” without a word being spoken.

Heat the butter in a large pan and fry the bacon for 2-3 minutes until it begins to crisp, add the leeks and cook for 10–15 minutes, until they are softened.
Prep time: 5 minutes
We all know how to make a home FEEL warm – it involves practical things like double glazing, wall insulation and efficient central heating.

Less developed than many of the other Caribbean islands, Grenada bewitches you from the moment you arrive and offers both couples and families so much more than white sandy beaches and turquoise waters; with its wide array of low rise boutique hotels; no hotel can be higher than a palm tree, laid-back living, spice plantations and a lush rainforest interior with spectacular waterfalls it has plenty to offer. If like me your body clock is still on UK time, why not head to the beach for an early morning swim with some of the locals. If you are a passionate foodie, you’ll love exploring the wide range of restaurants, from elegant fine dining at Rhodes Restaurant at the newly refurbished Calabash Hotel, or the world renowned Oliver’s at Spice Island Beach Resort to the local restaurants such as Patricks where they sell authentic ‘Grenadian tapas’ where you can delight
Lamps or even fairy lights inside is a great way to make a room cosier – main lights cast a harsh brightness, whereas “local” lights are a great way to add warmth and ambience.
in some of the local dishes infused with the islands spices; take the opportunity to try some of the organically grown cocoa and strong local rum or maybe you just prefer to relax in a hammock with a nutmeg infused rum punch! One of the places you must visit is the world’s first Underwater Sculpture Park, a collection of fantastic haunting sculptures that lie in the marine park, don’t miss the latest sculpture, the Nutmeg Princess. I was able to enjoy a dive there but it’s just as good for snorkelers as it’s in the shallow waters, Grenada itself is actually a great place to learn to Scuba Dive in the calm waters or try your hand at sailing. Enjoy the eco-adventure in the tropical rainforest at Grand Etang Nature reserve, take a dip in one of the islands breath-taking waterfalls or experience the thrill of a lifetime river tubing down the Balthazar River or scour some of the vibrant markets looking for souvenirs and of course, the islands spices.

7) Warmer by design “Open plan” is very modern of course, but it’s not necessarily conducive to the cosiness you want on a winter’s day.

Re-design your space in winter by using furniture like a settee or a sideboard to deliberately create smaller spaces out of a large one. Believe it or not, demand for screens is on the up, as they allow visual separation of open-plan rooms.
Coyaba Beach Resort, Grenada offers 7 nights from £1,095 per person, based on 2 adults sharing a Superior Collection Garden/Pool View Room on Room Only, including return scheduled flights and transfers. Or £1419 per person on All inclusive.

Cunning lighting can also help to separate a cosy sitting room, for example, from the bright lights you want in a kitchen.
