The desire to transform the house into a warm refuge intensifies with the arrival of cooler temperatures. In winter 2025, every detail can make a difference in thermal comfort and the sense of well-being conveyed by the projects. In this sense, warm materials, soft lighting, and layers of texture stand out in the CASACOR 2025 showing that it is not necessary to give up aesthetics to achieve a cozy home!

Brunete Fraccaroli - Lar Amar. Este loft de 96 m² é dedicado a uma personagem real, Lara, que tem deficiência visual e lidera a Laramara, organização que promove a inclusão social, educacional e cultural de pessoas com essa condição. Guiada pelo design universal, a arquiteta elaborou um projeto com acessibilidade, conforto e adaptabilidade sem abrir mão do luxo. Para isso, a decoração adota tons neutros e muitas texturas. Com living, sala de jantar, cozinha e suíte, o espaço possui medidas compatíveis com as das placas de revestimento inteiras, evitando, assim, recortes e desperdício de material.

Below, we have gathered five practical and elegant ideas from CASACOR 2025 that help to heat the house without the need for major renovations. They are simple, yet efficient solutions that can be adapted to different decoration styles and types of projects.

Fireplace with visual appeal


The fireplace appears as a key piece in many projects from CASACOR, reinterpreting its function beyond heat. More than just warming, it acts as a focal point in decoration, whether in suspended, embedded, or portable models.

Moreover, the fireplace creates an inviting atmosphere, conducive to socializing and relaxation. Incorporating it into the living room, enclosed balcony, or even the bedroom is an effective way to make the project more intimate and comfortable in winter 2025.

Materials that retain heat


Wood, natural leather, wool, and plush fabrics are some of the materials widely used in the exhibition spaces to compose visually warm projects. Wood appears in floors, panels, ceilings, and furniture, enhancing the craftsmanship touch and the organic texture that conveys warmth.

In the projects of CASACOR 2025, these elements gain a new reading, combined with soft palettes and intimate lighting.

Throws in strategic locations


A simple but extremely efficient resource to warm the home during winter 2025 is throws. Placed strategically over the sofa, at the foot of the bed, or in reading chairs, they add texture, comfort, and style to the space. In CASACOR, they appear in versions of natural wool, bouclé fabrics, thick knit, and flannel.

Earth tones, beiges, and grays are frequent choices to compose a soft and cohesive aesthetic, while the warm fabrics ensure thermal function. Using throws as a contrasting point is also a strategy to visually revitalize the project.

Heavy curtains and rugs


In winter 2025, denser fabrics play an important role: they help maintain internal temperature and create a sense of coziness. Therefore, heavy curtains and thick-based rugs gain prominence in the decor during this time of year.

Velvet, lined linen, or twill curtains provide thermal insulation and enhance the elegance of compositions in the projects of CASACOR. Meanwhile, wool rugs or models with high texture bring comfort to the touch and dampen sound, contributing to a more silent and protected atmosphere. The combination of both elements is effective in both bedrooms and living rooms.

Yellow lights and candles


Finally, yellow lighting has a direct impact on the perception of temperature and well-being. In CASACOR 2025, the projects invest in indirect lighting, warm-tone lamps, and diffuse effects to construct a warm ambiance. Table lamps, wall sconces, and lamps with fabric shades create soft light points that favor relaxation.

Aromatic candles or decorative ones also appear frequently, adding sensory layers to the space. Their aromas contribute to emotional comfort, while the live flame brings warmth and a touch of intimacy to the decor — especially in bathrooms, sideboards, or coffee tables!
