  How to Enhance the Warmth of a Room with the Right Furniture

  One of the principles behind enchanting your room, is to create an inviting atmosphere. And, while there are many aspects that complement this ambience, the right furniture is really the key to this and you want to be sure not only the pieces define the space but set the tone. So look no further, no matter what space you are designing, whether it be a living room, bedroom or otherwise, here are just a few of the key furniture pieces you can use to instantly boost the warmth and comfort of your room.1.Plush Sofas and ArmchairsA sofa upholstered in a soft fabric is a centerpiece in a living room and can immediately make it feel warmer. Pick fabrics such as velvet, chenille or linen in warm colors like beige, taupe or deep burgundy. The sofa with a couple of cozy armchairs surrounding it makes a sitting arrangement that makes you want to just chill and talk. Addin throw pillows and blankets in personality-perfect textures and colors to further enhance the inviting viscous vibe.2.Rugs with Soft TexturesA wisely chosen rug can help ground the room and provide an additional layer of warmth underfoot. Choose rugs made from natural materials such as wool or cotton, which are durable but also soft. Opt for patterns or colors that fit in with the room's decor, such as earth tones or subtle geometric designs. A large enough area rug that fits under the major furniture pieces can pull the entire room together and make it feel more cohesive and inviting.3.Wooden FurnitureWooden furniture such as coffee tables, bookshelves, or side tables will add some natural warmth to a home. You have numerous wood options with varying textures and grains, which adds depth and character to your space — and helps hide dings and scratches.Choose warm wood tones like oak, walnut, or cherry for smaller pieces. If you want something more modern, opt for furniture with a matte finish or lighter wood tones — both can be cozy without being too heavy.4.Soft Lighting with LampsLighting is one of the most important thing to a inviting space. Instead of using just overhead lights, bring in table lamps and floor lamps with soft, warm-toned bulbs. Lamps with fabric shades soften and diffuse light, tempering it with a warm gleam. Strategically place lamps around the room, lighting up stylish corners, creating an ambient and layered lighting scenario that adds depth and warmth.5.Bookshelves and Display UnitsBookshelves with books, photo frames, and decorative objects help a room feel lived in and personal.Showpieces such as family photographs, travel collections or pieces of art bestows warmth and personality in your home. Open shelving units allow you to display your personality, and closed cabinets will conceal the mess. Mixing books with plants and decorative objects on the shelves adds visual interest and a warm, homey vibe.6.Layered TextilesTissues such as curtains, throws and cushions do soften a room instantly and make it feel a bit more welcoming.Opt for thick fabric, such as velvet or linen, to insulate against the cold and block drafts. Layering different textures — a knitted throw over a leather couch or a faux fur cushion on a wooden chair, say — adds another tactile ingredient to a room and intensifies its coziness.7.Personal TouchesFinally, do not overlook the effectiveness of personalization. Photographs, art and homemade decorations can personalize a room. Elements like a gallery wall hung above a console table or a carefully curated collection on display on a bookshelf, are happier, adding warmth and context to how you arrange furniture.There’s no doubt that the right furniture would turn a stranger into a homeand create a true sanctuary for yourself.By following these steps, you can create an environment that feels like a true sanctuary. It could be a comfortable couch, warm rug, or a tastefully decorated bookshelf, but these elements help add to the overall feel of warmth and coziness of the living room.

  Discovering America's Heartbeat: Traveling With Amtrak

  In an age of jet travel and interstates, there is something sorefreshing about the idea of traveling by train. If you want to see the United States at a slower, more immersive pace, however, Amtrak is a mode of transport that can also be an experience instead of simply a means of getting from point A to point B.Amtrak, our national passenger railroad service, is a lifeline woven through the fabric of America. Its routes crisscross the continent, carrying passengers from bustling cities to peaceful pastoral backroads, privy to the nation's soul. From the iconic Northeast Corridor, which runs in-turn from Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., to the expansive views of the Southwest aboard the Southwest Chief, every Amtrak ride is a story waiting to unfold.One of the best parts of traveling by Amtrak is the chance to slow down and enjoy the ride. Train travel, so different from the frenetic pace of flying, gives you the chance to watch the slow-change of scenery. As the train rattles along, you may sit up gazing out the window at the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, the arid, sprawling deserts of Arizona, or the dense, green trees of the Pacific Northwest. Each look is a moment in America's natural beauty, unfolding right before your eyes.You feel quite at home in the onboard ambiance, modern with a touch of timeless. Whether you're spending your hours shut up in a roomette or a bedroom, or in one of the open seating sightseeing cars alongside fellow passengers, the train's various interior spaces are all created to cater different forms of needs, from the public to the private. You'll also be able to look forward to a dining car, where you'll be able to enjoy a gourmet meal while the train glides across the countryside. Whether you are enjoying a homey breakfast as it rises over the Great Plains or a fine dinner under the stars in the sky above the Rocky Mountains, Amtrak dining is a culinary experience unto itself.Amtrak travel is also a social experience. In contrast to the forced solitude of a car ride or the cold indifference of flying, train travel invites communion. Passengers of all stripes come together, bonded by the shared experience of the journey. At these places, conversations come easily as strangers become friends, sharing stories about their destinations and the experiencesencountered along the way. It's not unusual when traveling to exchange advice with another traveler on the best things to do in Chicago or the historical significance of the Grand Canyon with another passenger.The most memorable part of Amtrak travel is the connection to America's past. A number of the train routes trace historic rail lines that once served as the arteries of the nation's westwardexpansion. One such trip is the California Zephyr, which follows pioneer trails westward in search of opportunities for fortune. When you visit small towns and across the rural hinterlands the remnants of the past will reverberate, the tales of the people who have gone or are going before or after you and the dreams that built this great nation.Overall, Amtrak is a way to experience America in its entirety.It gives you a window into the country's beauty, allows you to experience its pulse and meet its residents. In an era where everything races past, Amtrak allows us to slow down and savor the ride and helps us understand what it is that makes America the rich, varied tapestry that it is. So, the next time you're planning a trip across this great land, I can't help butrecommend the allure of the rails. Board an Amtrak train and let the journey unfold!
