As the temperatures start to cool down in Mallorca, it’s time to embrace the cosy season and transform your holiday home into an inviting retreat. Whether you’re staying through the cooler months or preparing your home for winter, a few simple changes can add comfort and style, perfect for relaxing or entertaining guests.
Here are our top tips on how to create a cosy, welcoming atmosphere in your Mallorca home this season.
Soft Furnishings for Comfort
One of the easiest ways to make your home feel cosier is by adding soft, luxurious fabrics. Imagine sinking into a plush sofa or wrapping yourself in a chunky knit blanket.
Cushions and Throws: Swap out lighter summer fabrics for richer textures like velvet, wool, and faux fur. Adding cushions and throws will not only bring warmth to your living spaces but also create a welcoming, layered look. At Knox Design, we offer a wide range of cushions and throws to help you create a cosy, stylish atmosphere.
Create a Warm Glow with Lighting
Lighting plays a key role in setting the right mood for the season. As the days grow shorter and natural light fades earlier, creating the right ambience with lighting is essential.
Layer Your Lighting: Mix different types of lighting—ceiling lights, floor lamps, table lamps, and candles. By layering light sources, you can create a warm, cosy glow throughout your home. A few well-placed lamps will make all the difference.
Candlelight: Nothing creates a snug, intimate feel like candlelight. Whether you choose large statement candles or smaller clusters, the flickering light will instantly make any room feel more comforting. We stock a lovely selection of beautiful candles to help set the perfect mood.
Make Your Fireplace the Focal Point
If your Mallorca home has a fireplace, now is the perfect time to make it the centrepiece of your living space. Even if you don’t have a working fireplace, there are ways to create that same cosy feel.
Stylish Accessories: For those with a fireplace, make it the focal point of your room by adding stylish accessories such as a log basket, fireplace tools, or a cosy armchair nearby. These touches will encourage you to spend more time relaxing by the fire.
Faux Fireplaces: If your home doesn’t have a real fireplace, you can create a similar effect with a decorative mantel and a few candles or lanterns. This gives the illusion of warmth and makes your space feel cosier, even without the heat. Come and visit us at the store in Son Bugadelles and we will help you with plenty of creative ideas to help you design a beautiful, inviting focal point.
Layer Up with Rugs and Curtains
As the cooler months arrive, it’s time to swap out light fabrics for something heavier and more insulating. Rugs and curtains are not only practical for keeping the warmth in but also add a cosy element to your interiors.
Rugs: A well-chosen rug can make a big difference, especially if your home has tiled or wooden floors. A thick, high-pile rug can make your living spaces feel instantly more comfortable. Come and browse our huge selection of high-quality rugs in our fabric and samples room, and don’t worry, we will help you find the perfect match for your living room or bedroom!
Heavier Curtains: Consider replacing lightweight curtains with heavier, lined ones for the cooler months. This will help keep warmth inside, especially in the evenings, and add a luxurious touch to your space. Our range of made-to-measure curtains at Knox Design combines practicality with style.
Finishing Touches for Maximum Cosiness
It’s often the little things that make the biggest difference. Adding seasonal accents and personal touches can elevate your home’s cosy factor.
Textured Accessories: Think about incorporating accessories with plenty of texture—woven baskets, woollen cushions, and soft throws. These elements will also add visual interest to your space.
Seasonal Scents: Don’t forget about the power of scent to create a cosy atmosphere. A few well-placed scented candles or diffusers can fill your home with aromas like cinnamon, cedarwood, or spiced vanilla, making it feel even more inviting.

With just a few simple updates—like layering soft furnishings, and adjusting your lighting —you can create a space that’s perfect for unwinding and enjoying the cooler months.
