Ways to Keep Cozy in Chico Rentals

Written by Hignell Rentals Team | October 26, 2022

As the temperature drops in Northern California (especially at night), the chilly fall weather reminds us to keep calm and cozy up in Chico rentals.

Now is the perfect time to fill your space with soft pillows, knit blankets, wool socks, coffee and candles. 

Create the perfect ambiance to cushion the chilly fall and coming winter temps! Follow along for tips and tricks on how to keep cozy in Chico rentals:

Bring on the Blankies!

First things first, you've got to have the perfect warm winter blanket, whether it's a favorite keepsake blankie passed down through the family, or a brand new micro-plush big enough for two. Fold and pile them up on the couch, or roll them and place them in a basket, as long as they are within reach you'll be good to go. If you're thinking of getting a new blanket for Chico rentals, try the following spots:

Cozy Up With Candles

A great way to warm up the ambiance of any room is the soft flicker of candles and the welcoming scent of spice. Try seasonal smells or light florals for a welcoming vibe. Bath and Body Works has a great display of holiday scents and styles that are sure to suit your preferences. If you have little ones or furry ones, and flames are an issue, try going with the oil plug-in wall options. 

Coffee and Tea Time

Make a cup of your favorite coffee to keep your hands warm, and fill up those Chico rentals with the welcoming smell of fresh brewed goodness. Tea is also a great way to embrace the holidays, with plenty of seasonal spices and flavors available, such as the Republic of Tea® Dream by the Fire Tea, Cinnamon Vanilla Herb:

"Cinnamon Vanilla Herb Tea - As the seasons change, escape from the brisk air with a hot cup of tea. Sweet vanilla and warm cinnamon are blended with caffeine-free rooibos to keep you and your loved ones toasty. Snuggle up to the glow of the fireplace with this tea and let the silent night lull you to blissful dreams."

Festive Fluffy Pillows

Seasonal decor spices up any rental with holiday joy! Plush red pillows or squishy  accents with silver snowflakes would brighten up any room. If you're into something more subtle, you could put out knitted holiday pillows in warm neutrals. Pillows are awesome to cuddle up with and can keep you cozy on chilly winter evenings. 

Bake Some Warm Cookies

This is a fun tip whether you are home alone or with others, because warm baked cookies make any cold evening cozier and more fun. There are an endless amount of recipes you can find online for great tasting cookies, or you can choose an option like premade cookie dough at the store. 

Keep Cozy!

Pull on your favorite flannel pajamas or that ridiculous onesie you've been saving, make a cup of hot cocoa, light your vanilla candles and cuddle up on the couch. Embrace the cold weather as a time to stay indoors and reflect, read new books, write your thoughts out on paper or just relax with a sitcom. However you choose to keep cozy in Chico apartments, we wish you a happy holiday season!
