Perhaps the simplest and most cost effective way to turn your house into a soft, comfortable abode is with cushions, rugs and throws. Beautiful, inviting fabrics and cushions of all shapes and sizes can really brighten up a dull room, and can give your home personality. As these are items that are easily transportable and are generally quite cheap, you can move them from room to room or completely replace them whenever your tastes change.
Throws can be used to disguise a shabby sofa, for extra warmth when in bed or watching television, or even as a floor or wall decoration! Touchable, delicious fabrics such as faux fur, faux suede, chenille, velvet or silk can add a feeling of luxury and warmth to an otherwise plain room or item of furniture. Cushion covers can be made to match the throws, adding further comfort to a sofa or bed.

Tapestry-style textiles are a great way to brighten up a dull wall, and rugs are another way to introduce warmth to a room. If you have wooden or tiled floors, one of the first things you should consider when decorating is rugs and carpets; from shag-pile to oriental, rugs are great for keeping feet warm and providing a splash of colour.
Other fantastic ways to simply add warmth and comfort to each room in your home is with wall hangings, table runners, and draught excluders. Rich, soft fabrics on cold walls and tables can make a huge difference to the overall feel of your home, even if its just for your own benefit!
