Making your home cozy – a place you never want to leave and
can’t wait to return to – makes it an enjoyable and memorable space. People
find themselves drawn to spaces that are warm, inviting, comfortable, and cozy.
And remember, houses are not just for looking at, they are for living in. A
home that is truly cozy will also be truly beautiful.
Curl-upabble Furniture
There’s furniture that is beautiful to look at and furniture
that you just want to snuggle into. Ideally, the perfect seating will strike a
balance between these two extremes. However, before you purchase any seating,
you need to think about its curl-uppability.
Try to picture yourself curled up on the sofa on a Sunday afternoon, feet up,
reading a book, or watching TV. The Kilimanjaro
Riversdale sofa by Tommy Bahama exudes cozy comfort. The super plush
cushions make it the perfect spot for tucking your feet up and relaxing.
Mix it up a little
These days, most people are not looking to buy furniture in the same style. In a cozy
room, many styles will mingle and blend harmoniously. Think less about what
matches and more about what goes. Mixing pieces from different styles creates
visual texture, and this may make your space more cozy and inviting.
Make Your Home Tactile
Leather furniture is one way to add something touchable to
your décor. When people see leather furniture they almost always just have to
touch it. The warm, traditional look of the Grandville
Sectional Sofa from Broyhill adds instant coziness to any room. The accent
pillows provide textural, visual interest and comfort. Add a fluffy throw or
patterned rug or other items with lots of texture that just beg to be touched.
This will add warmth to your room’s décor.
Warm It Up with Color
You may not realize this, but every color has a mood. Most
restaurants are red because people tend to eat more in a red room. Cooler
colors make rooms seem airier and larger. Warmer colors do the reverse – they
will make your space seem cozier and smaller. And every color can have warm or
cool undertones, even blacks and whites.
Lighting, Lighting, Lighting.
Lighting is an important factor in creating mood, but many
people overlook it. When you see a
beautiful, drool-worthy image in a magazine, it is probably because of the
lighting. It is especially important for a living room to have many different
light sources: bright light for large
gathering and softer light for intimate gatherings. In addition, you may need
task lighting if you like to curl up and read. Try switching your bulbs to ones
that give off warm light for instant cozification.
Fill Your Home with Things You Love
Almost everyone has something they love: a collection, an
heirloom, a piece of art. These are the things that remind you of places and
people you love. They are the things that make your house a home. And when you
feel at home, you feel like you truly belong. Your guests will pick up on this
vibe. And that’s what makes your home feel cozier.
