It might seem counterintuitive for me to suggest that you pull the blinds closed during autumn and winter to make your home feel brighter — 'but don't you want as much natural light as possible?' I hear you ask. The answer is, of course, yes, but there's also a clever styling trick that will instantly make your home look and feel a whole lot warmer, and it's using yellow curtains.
It's as simple as it sounds: when natural light shines through yellow fabrics, it mimics the look of warm, summer sunlight, helping to create a cozier atmosphere throughout the cooler months. There are a few things to consider, though, when it comes to how to hang curtains for this sunshine effect. Your choice of fabric, for one. You don't want it to be solid enough that it completely blocks out the light (this is where layering curtains can help, as you still need the warmth of blackouts), so make sure you choose something light-filtering like a linen, cotton, or poly-blend.
