How you want your house to feel is independent of the style of your home.

Everybody wants to have a warm and inviting home, no matter what style it is.

Here are six tips you can do to make your house instantly feel cozier.

Tip number one: Take a look at your lighting.

There’s nothing more important than lighting when creating a cozy home.

If you’re unsure where to start, take a look at your light sources.

One overheard light source is not enough and will not create a warm atmosphere.

Ensure you use warm lighting, around 3,000 kelvin, over cool lighting, which is 5,000 kelvin and above.

You can also use smart lighting, which lets you change your lights’ color and dim them instantly.

Candles are also an important way to make your space cozier or “the ultimate cozy addition to any room.”

Tip number two: Add plants

Add plants, flowers, and foliage to breathe life into a room.

The video says it’s hard to pinpoint why people like having plants inside their homes, but it might be because humans are inherently drawn to nature.

You can add faux but realistic-looking plants if you don’t want to maintain real plants or fresh flowers.

Tip number three: Rugs and textiles

Winter may become quite chilly if your home has tiles, laminate, or hardwood floors.

Adding rugs is essential to battle cold floors and add warmth to any home.

You can put rugs in almost any area of your home – your living room, bedroom, hallways, and even your kitchen.

Adding pillows with different textures and throws on couches and beds also add to the warmth of a home.

If you don’t want to pile on the couches and throws, you can stash them in a container at the corner of the room for easy access.

Tip number four: Texture

Adding cozy textures to your home also adds to the warm and inviting feeling.

Think soft fabrics and textures that feel good to the skin, like velvet and chunky knitted throws.

The texture of assorted fabrics adds warmth to any space.

Tip number five: Drapes

Window coverings matter when it comes to making a room warm and inviting.

If you typically use sheer curtains, swap them out for heavier curtains or thermal drapes during the winter.

They’ll keep the heat in your room while also adding softness to your home.

Tip number 6: Artwork and Mirrors

Artwork and mirrors are another way to make your home cozy and inviting.

Artwork brings personality to the home.

If you can’t afford original artwork yet, there are many affordable prints.

Mirrors make a room look bigger and also bounces light around the room, adding to the warmth and cozy feeling in a room.
