Design Tips to Make Your Home Feel Cozier

Throw pillows can effortlessly change the entire aesthetic of a home depending on their fabric and pattern. So a great trick is using different textures between your furniture and your pillows. Another reason why pillows are so important is that we associate pillows with comfort, so when we visit a living room filled with throw pillows, we automatically feel cozier in that space.

There is a reason why our grandmas love having lots of plants at home. Indoor plants have the power of making any type of room feel more full of life, and therefore creating a cozy atmosphere. If those aren’t good enough reasons for you to get a couple of plants yet, remember plants are also great for health reasons. That is, they are known for purifying the air we breathe.

While having a warm cup of tea on a barely-lit corner of our home does sound extremely cozy and comfortable, the right lighting can do even more for your space. If your home lacks good natural lighting, a good trick to keep a room well-lit and feeling cozy is using diffused lighting. You can use lamps, hidden lighting, or smaller bulbs to create diffuse lighting in your own environment.
