The days are shorter, the nights longer, and temperatures have dropped. ‘Tis the season to stave off those winter blues and blahs. It’s time to cuddle up in your favourite overstuffed chair under a warm blanket with a hot beverage to enjoy the company of family, the glow of a fire, a good book, or your favourite movies and tv shows — it’s time to get cozy. 

In Denmark they call it “hygge,” in Norway they say “koselig,” and in Canada, though we may not have a single word for it, we know what it is — it’s the art of slowing down, cozying up, keeping warm, and creating an atmosphere of conviviality and happiness during those long winter nights.

Here are some ideas from our Smitty’s designers that will help you get comfy and warm all winter long.

A Sectional For All

The beauty of a sectional is that the whole family can curl up together. Brentwood’s Canadian made Sebastian Sectional has room from everyone. You can mix and match sections to suit the size of your family and the shape of your space, and you can choose from a wide selection of fabrics to match the rest of your home. Before you buy a sofa, make sure you try it out. The Sebastian Sectional and many more are on display in our Hanover and Kitchener locations, come try them for yourself.

Recline To Your Heart’s Content

Nothing says cozy like a recliner, a blanket, and a good book — and just because it’s comfy, doesn’t mean it can’t have style. The Charlotte Glider by Dutailier features beautifully curved lines that create a modern retro look and will make a statement in any room. Dutailier lets you choose the fabric and wood finish that will complement your home best.

A Media Console Completes Your Look

They say we are in the golden age of television, so what better time to catch up on all of your favourite TV shows than now. Set-up your home entertainment system with Ruffsawn’s stylish Live Edge HGTV Stand. Made of solid wormy maple, known for its beautiful streaks and colour variations, this console’s rustic look will add a cozy feel to any space in your home. The uncompromised Canadian craftsmanship of this piece is not only stylish, but also practical, offering plenty of storage space. The two cabinets are the ideal spot to keep extra pillows and blankets and the three open shelves can display a selection of books, magazines, or photographs. 

Whatever your winter needs are, our designers can help. Drop into one of our two locations or book a consultation with one of our certified decorators.
