your home should be your
sanctuary, a place where you love being at. Even though everyone has different
definitions of a cozy home, generally a cozy home means that it makes you feel
relaxed, warm and comforted. If you are not feeling those feelings when you are
at home, here are some of the best ways you can make your home cozy. It will be
so cozy you will never want to leave it.
Rugs
One of the best, most
popular and easiest ways you can make your home cozy, is by adding rugs. Even if you have carpets, layering Persian rugs along with it will bring so much more coziness to a home.. This is especially
great if you have tile or wood floors in your home.
Colour
Something that a lot of
people don't know, is that having white walls doesn't mean that you can't have
a cozy home. You can still add some colours that will make the space feel
cozier. Choose your favourite colour and add little accents around the home to
bring in more colour and happiness. Keep in mind that you should pick shades
that promote good feelings and make your space feel warm and welcoming.
Plants
The most obvious thing
that makes a home cozy is adding life to it, and by life we mean plants. House
plants are some of the best decorations you can add to your home. They will not
only make your home feel cozier, but they will make your living environment
healthier. Think about picking plants that can bloom so it creates even more
coziness and beauty.
Pillows
Another fun way you can
add coziness to your home is by adding a lot of pillows. No matter what kind of
couch you have, adding a bunch of fun pillows will bring more coziness to your
home. Try mixing and matching different textures and colours to make things
more fun. The different textures are a great way to bring that perfect touch of
coziness, especially during the wintertime.
Blankets and ThrowsPhoto by
Along with adding rugs,
one of the best ways to bring in more coziness to your home is to add some
blankets and throws all-around your home. Choose ones that are made out of
fuzzy super-soft fabrics. You should also get a calming blanket so you get the ultimate calming experience when you are relaxing
after a long day. But if you already have blankets and throws or you simply
don't like that style, you will get the same effect by putting down large
scarves that you can grab whenever you are cold.
Lighting
Getting your lighting
situation right will work wonders when you want to make your home cozy. One of
the best ways you can ensure that you have lighting that works with both
cocktail parties as well as working is by having ones that can be dimmed. Think
about incorporating candles as well as fairy lights throughout your home to
create the perfect cozy atmosphere.
Photo Collages
Something that not a lot
of people think about doing when they are adding coziness to their home is
displaying pictures. There is nothing that will make your home feel homey and
cozy then displaying pictures that make you feel warm inside. You can do so
many different things that go with the style of your home such as making a
collage on the wall or just putting up special pictures around your home.
Fireplace
The ultimate cozy thing
is a fireplace. So, if you are lucky enough to have a fireplace in your home
you should try to accentuate it and bring up the coziness levels. Find pieces
that work well and coordinate with each other very well and you will instantly
bring more personality to your home. Another thing that you can do is adding a
big mirror or painting above it so it can act as a focal point while still
making the room cozier.
By trying out some of
these tips you will be able to make your home very cozy and inviting. As what
is cozy depends on the person, it is important that you follow your own style
and create a space that you are pleased with rather than following trends.
