5 Ways to Create a Cosy Home
We all know how to make our homes homey, but turning it into a cosy home is more of an art. As the weather turns colder and the days grow shorter, there are certain things you can do to help your home feel just that bit more comforting.
The Cosy Home: Key Features
The key features of a cosy home are warmth, cosiness, and the feeling that your home is your own. Nesting isn’t just for new mothers; we all want to have somewhere that feels safe and ours. These simple steps to a cosy home will have you finding more excuses for quiet nights in.
Creating a cosy homelike atmosphere
Creating a space that feels homelike can be difficult when living in many types of English homes because they come in all shapes and sizes. But it is possible to create a soothing atmosphere with any size home by following five simple steps.
1. Add aroma to your space with an essential oil diffuser or scented candle.
2. Create a cosy ambience by adding rugs, floor pillows, and throws on the furniture for comfortable seating.
3. Install dimmer switches under your light bulbs and add some string lights so you'll never want to leave the room.
4. Fix up your mirror with some collage art and hang it above your dresser to add character and cuteness to the room.
5. Add accent pieces such as plants, figurines, or even photo frames.
What is the difference between cosy and pleasant?
Cosy is a feeling. Pleasant is a judgment. Cosy often means warm and snug, but it can also refer to any kind of comfort. Pleasantries are at best polite and at worst insincere, so they have no place in your home.
Why does a cosy home make you feel better?
Keeping warm and cosy helps you to relax, which in turn helps keep you in your best health. Adding house plants will improve the air quality and can even lift your mood. Make an effort to bring in more natural light around the home. This will help you sleep better and make your rooms seem brighter and more spacious.
So, if you’re anything like me, the colder weather must be making you contemplate hibernation by now? Aside from hot drinks and good old-fashioned snuggle time with your loved ones, your decor really can make a difference. These small changes will transform your space and have you feeling cosy in no time.
