If your home feels more “cold and clinical” than “cosy and inviting, and you want to add cosiness to your space (because who doesn’t love snuggling up and feeling safe and cosy when the cold weather comes along?) here are some home upgrades that will definitely add cosiness to your space.
Nothing says “cosy” like a roaring fireplace, right? So, whether you are going for a sleek modern design or something a bit more traditional, it could be time to start googling “fireplaces near me“. Not only will a new fireplace add a warm glow and a snuggle factor, but it could also add value to your home too.
And if you’re worried about the installation process, don’t be. Many local providers offer professional installation services, so all you need to do is sit back, relax, and start dreaming of your first night in front of the fire with no hard work into the bargain.
Once you have your fireplace, um, in place, then the next place to focus on is your soft furnishings. It’s hard to get comfortable if the furniture you are sitting on is not as cosy as it can possibly be, which is why adding soft, plump cushions and warm fuzzy blankets and throws to your couches is a great way to add cosiness to your space, as are rugs and velvet curtains. Layer up with lots of different textures and you really will be in snuggly home heaven.
Harsh lights can make it hard for you to relax because, well they’re hard on the eyes and they don’t have that soft, cosy glow that fairy lights, candles and dimmed bulbs do. So, if you want the cosy vibe you are going to want to make some changes to your lighting. Bonus points if you go for scented candles with comforting notes like vanilla, cinnamon, or sandalwood.
Bringing the outdoors in can create a sense of calm and comfort. Consider adding some greenery with indoor plants, which can soften up your space and add a touch of nature. If you’re not blessed with a green thumb, no worries—there are plenty of low-maintenance plants that are practically impossible to kill. Wooden furniture and decor, whether it’s a rustic coffee table or a set of wooden picture frames, can also add warmth and character to your home.
Every cosy home needs a designated spot for unwinding with a good book. Find a quiet corner and turn it into a reading nook. All you need is a comfortable armchair, a cosy throw, and a side table for your hot drink of choice. Add a reading lamp with a warm glow, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate relaxation zone. This is the perfect space to retreat to when you need some “me time” away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Time to close the curtains, light the candles, grab the pumpkin spice and snuggle up!
