We should have high expectations from our homes, given the amount of money that they cost. They should be much more than just places where we lay our heads at night and store our belongings. They should provide a cosy and relaxing retreat from the mania of the outside world. But of course, this won’t just happen. You can create a great atmosphere, but you’ll need to take care of a few issues if it’s going to be as cosy as possible. Below, we take a look at some useful tips that’ll put you on the right path.
Lovely Spaces
An integral part of creating a cosy home is having that “ahh, I’m home” feeling when you walk through the front door. If you’re confronted by a space that’s cluttered, dark, and all-around grim, then you won’t have that feeling. If, on the other hand, your home is bright and spacious and all-around lovely, then you will. There are a few changes you can make that can improve things pretty quickly. For example, painting the walls with gorgeous white paint will help things, as will improving the lighting. Focus in particular on the entrance hallway; it commonly gets overlooked but can set the tone for the whole house.
Warm and Comfortable
Is there anything worse than being slightly too cold when you’re at home? Not in our book. It stops you from really enjoying your property to the full. For that to happen, your body needs to be relaxed and satisfied! So if you need to up the comfort levels, then do so. There are multiple ways to do it. You can look at the infrastructure of your home, such as your insulation and boiler. This will be the base of a warm and comfortable property. From there, it’s about adding throws, blankets, and getting comfortable bedding. You really will notice the difference!
Moments of Joy
Being cosy isn’t just about what you physically feel, of course. It’s about looking around and feeling the love, of knowing that you’re well and truly at home. One great way to do this is to add moments of joy to your property. This could involve adding images and examples of your interests to the walls, and, of course, having plenty of family photos. Invest in some multi aperture frames and make some photo collages of your loved ones. There’s just something wonderful about looking around and always being happy with what you see.
Friday Nights In
While you’ll want to create an overall cosy home, you may also consider taking some steps to enjoy those “peak cosy” moments too. Think of a Friday night. If you’ve got a comfortable living room, a modern entertainment system, and a pantry full of snacks, then you’ll get to enjoy a cosy night with your loved ones, watching films, playing games, and all-around enjoying each other’s company.
Take the tips above, and by the time the cold weather comes back, you’ll have a home that’s big on comfort and cosiness!
