6 Key Ingredients in a Cozy Home

We are constantly approached by clients asking for interior design advise especially as we browse new property. We believe a cozy home is essential, especially during the winter months. Here are some tricks and tips on creating a cozy abode! New year, new vibes!

1. Throws and Pillows

Throw blankets and pillows are a great way to make a room feel like a cozy place to curl up with a cup of hot cocoa and a book. You can drape soft blankets across a couch or chair, and add pillows for a touch of comfy pop.

2. Create a nook

Do you have any small spaces in your house you’ve never quite figured out what to do with? Try adding a nook to that space with an extra bed or cushioned bench. Add some books, pillows and maybe a blanket for the perfect place to take a little break and make any room absolutely adorable.

3. Shag it up

Rugs will instantly make any hard surface room feel cozy. Bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, doorways; you can’t go wrong with the right rug. Make sure it fits the space well and plays into the decor and color scheme. You may also want to try a texture to add some variety to the room, like a good shag or faux fur rug.

4. Light up your patio

Try adding some twinkle or Christmas lights to any outdoor space for instant charm. Pair it with music and a fire and you have the perfect entertainment spot to share with friends and family.

5. Aromatic Scents

Scents are a great way to warm up any home. You can use scented candles, a fresh fireplace or room infusers to add a cozy touch to any space including living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, and entryways.

6. Plush Towels

This may sound silly, but everyone who has done this knows how incredible it is to have nice, fluffy towels to use after your bath or shower. Put a cute shelf in the bedroom or bathroom and stack nicely folded towels for use by you and your guests. Not only will it transfer your bath experience, it looks cute, too.
