Your home should be your sanctuary, and one of the best ways to make it one is to add a bit of coziness to every room. Simple additions will make a world of difference and don’t require a huge investment of time or money.
With a little effort, you can create a haven in your home that helps you relax and makes others feel welcome and at ease as soon as they enter.
The question is: where to start? What small changes will have the biggest impact? If I had to pick a place to start it would be with the following five tips!
#1 Try Some Twinkle Lights
One of the more surprising ways to make your house feel cozier is to add twinkle lights in the right places. This little bit of extra lighting is perfect if you don’t want overhead lighting on at all times. Twinkle lights not only offer a little extra lighting, but they also create a cozy atmosphere and add a hint of wonder to any room.
It’s just a matter of finding the right place to put them. There are endless options, and once you find the perfect spot, you’ll be surprised how much more cozy a room will feel.
#2 Add a Rug
A rug can always be a great addition to a room. Rugs add an extra sense of comfort wherever you put them. They also add more aesthetic appeal, as long as you get the perfect rug for whichever room you’re putting it in. There are so many options, and you can find one to match any look you’re going for, like a Western rug for example.
Large area rugs can help tie a room together and make it feely more cozy. Anchoring the rug with your furniture also helps, and the right rug will always have a significant impact.
#3 Style a Bookshelf
A bookshelf can make a room feel cozy, but sometimes, bookshelves tend to be catch-all pieces of furniture or become cluttered. By styling it right, however, you can use a bookshelf to add the storage you need and the look you want.
Adding a few bits and pieces to the bookshelf helps you style it and create a cozier feeling. The fairy lights above, some natural pieces, and a few other decorations like mementos from your travels make the bookshelf more than a storage unit. It becomes a statement piece.
#4 Invest in Texture
Texture can often be a great way to make a house feel more cozy. Putting the effort into this doesn’t even need to be too complicated. The rugs mentioned above can be a great start when adding texture to your home, but there are a few other quick and easy ways to add depth and dimension to your design with texture.
Throw pillows and blankets on your sofa and in similar areas is an easy place to start. They’ll even add more comfort to your living spaces, which will help you room feel cozy as well. With the right colours, they’ll even add a lot of visual appeal.
#5 Upgrade Your Bedding
Your bedroom is one of the places in your home where you should feel most comfy and cozy. It’s worth spending some time on creating a special space where you can relax and rest, but it isn’t nearly as complicated as you might think to do so. It might just be a matter of upgrading your bedding or adding a few simple touches here and there.
Softer bedding made out of cotton or similar materials is perfect for bedding. After choosing the most comfortable sheets you can find, consider adding some extra pillows or blankets on the bed to make it even cozier. Just don’t go overboard because if your husband is anything like mine, his ability to relax might be hampered by his irritation with too many throw pillows.
