Joanna Gaines: Create a Cozy Space

Joanna Gaines is all about setting the mood during winter season. “Even if it’s 70 degrees in Waco, Texas, I ask [my husband] Chip to light the fireplace for that cozy ambience,” she dishes. The Magnolia Table author, 46, notes that it doesn’t take much to give a room a comfy, inviting vibe ahead of get-togethers. “I bring out the chunkier blankets and more textured fabric pillows in prints like plaid to really warm up a home,” she’s shared. “Just simple shifts in color and texture make all the difference.”
