A cozy home is a happy home. We believe the best compliment for a homeowner is how cozy their home feels instead of how artistic it looks. After all, the primary objective is to have a home that makes you feel comfortable and warm.
If you share our belief, we have the same mission together: adding a lot of coziness and a welcoming vibe to our home. But how can you do that without breaking your budget and your back? We have all the secrets to how you can add instant warmth and a homey vibe to your place, and that too without much hassle.
1. Begin with a Warm Paint Color
The quick way of enveloping everyone who steps into your home with a cozy feeling is painting it in a warm paint color. Stark white walls with gray carpeting aren’t exactly homely, and it does nothing to make one feel right at home.
Instead, something like satin sheen or eggshell color would evoke the comfort and welcoming vibes you wish to create.
2. Good Lighting
You cannot ever estimate the real power of good lighting till you let it bathe you and sweep you up in an invisible warm hug. Lighting is the second-best secret to making your home feel wonderfully cozy.
All you have to do is bring in tons of ambience lighting, candles, floor and table lamps, and task lighting to create a golden, warm aura around your home. You can even add some beautiful lighting to your favourite decoration pieces.
For example: If you have an aquarium in your home, you can enhance its beauty by just adding some led aquarium lights and it will catch the attention of your guests and visitors at home.Be strategic when placing lights because you want to create illuminative clusters when the sun goes down. Conversation areas must be the focal point for creating illumination.
To create warm lighting, also make sure you select yellow bulbs instead of blue. The light bulbs must emit a golden-like glow, like that of a candle’s. Another great idea for this theme is to consider using hue light bulbs.
The main attraction of these is that they allow you to change the light bulbs’ color to set the mood you wish to create. For example, if you have a casual and romantic evening planned with your partner, you could dim the lights to a soft and warm orange shade.
You could even transform the room into a romantic and cozy space by dimming the lights to a soft yellow hue. You can create so much cozy magic only by choosing your lights smartly and knowing how to use them artistically for your space.
You can even cozy up the bathrooms by installing cute nightlights with low wattage in there. Imagine how wonderful it would soak in a tub of hot water with a mellow, candlelight glow surrounding you.
3. Bring in Wood
Nothing creates coziness better than wood, and you incorporate it in endless ways in your home. Think about featuring custom wood elements such as hardwood floors, wooden shelving, wooden furniture like coffee tables or dressers, and accents like trays, pedestals, and bowls. Besides, wood is so versatile you can customize designs and patterns as suits your aesthetics.
Natural elements have their way of making us feel right at home, and you can use this to your advantage with tons of innovative wood elements. The best aspect of incorporating plants into your interior theme is that they are alive, just like us, and you the chance of accessorizing with funky and colorful vessels with them.
Hence, you get enhanced aesthetic appeal as well as more vibrancy pulsing through your rooms.
4. Plants and Flowers
If someone were to ask us to define a cozy home, we’d say it is one that feels alive and has a lot of vibrant energy in its atmosphere. And our secret to achieving this is by bringing in flowers and plants and making our space come alive with them.
The more of nature you have indoors, the cozier your home will feel. You can add textural pops with this secret by housing plants in colorful pots, jute baskets, or even plants. Besides, who won’t love the freshness in the air indoors with all the lush greenery?
5. Go for a Variety of Textures
Try decorating your rooms with a variety of textures. For this, you can begin by selecting various rugs for different spaces, such as sisal rugs, vintage rugs, pet-friendly rugs, oriental rugs if you can afford them, and indoor and outdoor rugs.
A rug has enough potential on its own to infuse your space with tons of coziness and warmth. However, you can add to this aspect by incorporating some throw pillows in different covers and colors, window treatments, etc.
Besides, pillow covers are such easy, effortless tricks of continuing the cozy appeal of your room all through the year. As the seasons change, all it takes is to mix and match the styles, fabrics, and patterns of your cushions and pillow covers and let them exercise their magic on your space.
Throw pillows and blankets on your chairs; sofas and ottomans work like a charm too. All you have to do is drape them across your fabric and then sit back and enjoy the instantaneous cozy vibes they create in your living space.
