Layered Textiles for Extra Warmth
Layering is key to creating a cozy atmosphere in your space. On those chilly nights when you want nothing more than to snuggle under multiple blankets, start with a soft duvet or comforter as your base. Then, add plush throws and a few oversized pillows to enhance warmth and comfort. Don't hesitate to mix textures like velvet, faux fur, and knit materials to add visual interest and depth. This combination not only feels luxurious but also makes your space look inviting and stylish. Remember, when it comes to comfort, it's all about softness—and lots of it! By layering different fabrics and textures, you create a warm and cozy environment perfect for relaxation.

This technique isn’t just about plopping plants in the soil; it’s about planning and positioning them to create depth, interest, and movement. In Ottawa, where our gardens endure everything from sweltering summers to snowy winters, layering isn’t just beautiful; it’s smart gardening.
It allows for a vibrant display that transitions gracefully with the seasons, and it’s practical, offering protection for your plants from our notorious climate swings.
