Everyone wants a cozy home. One they can walk into and feel comfortable and comforted at the same time. A cozy home doesn’t just enable you to feel warm and calm, but it allows you to feel safe. With improved security in your feelings, you are going to enjoy every moment of being at home once more.
There is never any judgment on keeping up appearances at home, but you should be doing everything possible to make your little space as warm and well-nested as possible. From the Inset electric fires on offer to the thick rugs you could put down on the floor, the choices you make with your home will change the way you enjoy the space. Clutter-free countertops, for example, look great in the magazines but they’re not all that realistic, right? We’ve got some tips that will help you to make sure that your lounge is as cozy as possible no matter what.
1. Indulge in good upholstery and sheets. Linens are a must when you go to sleep at night but the upholstery that you use in your lounge will change the way you feel when you’re watching TV! You want to be able to cozy up with a book or even nap on the couch, and that means knowing you have plump cushions and beautiful fabrics to make them soft and warm.
2. Add some nature to the space. Vases full of flowers are as beautiful as tall, leafy plants. You should think about adding these at all levels – up high for the plastic elements and on all surfaces for the vases – and you can really lean into that fresh air. Plants and flowers always bring better air to the space and you don’t have to limit yourself either. Plastic plants can elevate your mood just as much as the real stuff.
3. Prioritize relaxation. Your lounge should have a squashy, large couch and at least a couple of armchairs or large bean bags/cushions to sit on. You should make sure that anyone coming over to see you has somewhere comfortable to sit and relax, too. The lounge is a space to lean back and let go a little, and that means looking at ways you can relax more. Thick rugs, comfy slippers and a fireplace are all great elements to add to the room to be comfortable and warm.
4. Install the right heating options. Fireplaces work well in lounges. You want to sit and relax in the evening? Well, a fireplace brings that coziness you need. It’s the hub of a cozy living room, the fireplace, and you can dress the surrounding area in the right fabrics and rugs to make it worth your time. You don’t have to sink down in bed to relax; not when you have a crackling fire in front of the sofa!
Your lounge has to be cozy to be enjoyed and now you know how to make it so, it’s time to go shopping!
