Cozy Living: Creating a Warm Cozy Home and Embracing the Autumn Season!

For this season, I am always gravitating towards cozy and warm spaces, much like a fairytale land with lots of candles, layers of soft blankets and, of course, the fairy lights. Intuitively, very often, to cozy up our home, we are implementing elements from nature, and the more we do so, the more it feels like living in a big warm hug of nature.

You don't have to spend a fortune on redecorating for every season. It's enough if you make a few small, thoughtful changes, and it will still make a massive difference. So I made for you a list of affordable yet stylish examples of how to make your home cozier by repurposing the things you already own or choosing the new decor pieces wisely.

1. Add Texture

Adding a few cozy pieces like blankets and cushions in warmer neutral tones is the easiest way to instantly warm up the room. If you want to invest in that one evergreen blanket that will suit every season, a piece like the Luxe Weighted Knitted Cotton Blanket is a great option.

2. Layer a Soft Warm Rug

Even if you add only one area rug it will still significantly impact any room. Choose natural materials like wool, cotton, and jute. It will give the space a relaxed and warm feeling. If the room feels too cold, you can always add a pop of warmer color to create an atmosphere. This hand tufted wool rug in beige will to the trick.

3. Make Your Memories Count

Create a beautiful gallery wall with your own photos—something to keep you smiling on rainy days. To make your memories pop, opt for frames in natural wood or white color frames. Even more so these days, the smartest way is to showcase a digital photo frames, with that warm hug.

4. Upgrade Your Bedding

If you haven't already, start with the quality bedding in pure white and add layers of soft cotton/wool throw and blankets. Whenever possible, opt for eco-friendly fabrics.

5. Add Plants

Regardless of the season, plants always breath in coziness to your home. Adding plants will not only reduce air toxins but make your home feel lived-in and loved. If you're looking for a fast-growing easy to maintain - Peace Lily, Monstera Deliciosa, Pothos tree are great options.

6. Consider Warm Lighting

Light can undoubtedly change the vibe of a room. You can cozy lighting in a few ways - get some lovely lamps, floodlights, ceiling pendants or dimmers. However, when it comes to the light bulb, the best choice would be a warm white LED light.

7. Upgrade Windows with Curtains

Maximize natural light and create ultimate cozy vibes with seasonal curtains. It will capture those shorter days and boost your mood by maximizing natural daylight, while keeping you warm. Opt for natural fabrics like cotton, linen, eucalyptus or bamboo.

8. Rearrange The Furniture

The layout can make a room feel cramped if not done right. Create a socializing zone by rearranging the soft furniture facing each other and placing an area rug in the middle. You could add a few ottomans for extra seating if you have enough room. If you need help with your furniture room, check our studio services.
