As the temperature starts to dip, we’re looking forward to spending cosy evenings indoors with friends and family. But how can you transform your home in time for the cooler UAE evenings? In this guide, we’ll look at using rugs and carpets to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere in your living space this winter.
Get clever with colour
First, let’s look at warming up your home with colour. Here are some of our favourite carpet colours for winter:
- Bold and bright: Modern carpets in vivid colours are a quick way to brighten up your living space. Think hot pink, bright green or turquoise carpets.
- Earth tones: Warm, earthy colours such as berry, rust, copper and burgundy will all help to create a cosy atmosphere.
- Winter whites: Alternatively, why not pay tribute to the season with a snow-white carpet? You’ll add a layer of texture while creating a suitably wintry colour palette.

Choose plush and cosy textures
Colour is not the only way to heat up your home flooring. The textures you choose can also make a big difference to your living space this winter. Opt for plush carpets with a high pile and lots of texture for a soft and cosy feel underfoot – even when you forget your slippers. Wool is a natural fibre that offers excellent insulation, while synthetic carpets can also feel wonderfully soft to the touch and are great for areas that see a high amount of foot traffic.
Go large in the living room
If you’re considering a living room update, a carpet size of 300 x 400 cm is ideal for covering larger areas to envelope your room in warmth. Larger carpets also help to define areas in an open-plan space, making the space feel cosier and more lived-in. If you’re placing your carpet under a dining area, make sure it can accommodate all your dining chairs even when they’re pulled out.
Don’t forget the rest of your home
While the living room is the first place we think of, don’t neglect the other areas in your home:
- Runner rugs for the stairs or hallway will create a warm and inviting atmosphere the minute you step in from the cold.
- Beige carpets make a great addition to the bedroom, providing a soft landing in the morning while also blending in seamlessly with any colour scheme to create a restful ambience.
- Consider adding a rug to areas where the flooring tends to get cold – bathroom tiles or kitchen laminates, for example.
