Set The Mood: How To Make Your Home Feel More Cosy


To make sure that your home always feels cosy and inviting, you need to ensure that you take the right approach to your interior design. Updating your home seasonally is a great way to add some fresh design touches to your home to keep it looking its very best. Whether you want to do a complete overhaul of your home’s interior or simply add a few small additions, there is a lot to do to make your home feel more cosy.

When the days are shorter and the weather is colder, you want an interior that you can curl up and hibernate in comfortably. How you design your space, the colours you use, the furniture you choose and the materials you utilise in your design can all contribute to how warm and cosy your home feels. With the right design choices and updates to your interior, you can be sure that your home provides that warm cosy feeling that you have been striving for.

Let’s take a look at a few tips that you can use to make your home feel a little cosier.

Dress Up Your Entryway

When you greet guests at the door, you want them to instantly feel comfortable and welcome in your home. The entryway to your home is a chance to make a great first impression on any visitors to your home. Instead of your entryway simply being a passageway for people to pass through, add some welcoming design touches. For example, a coat stand can be a great feature piece in an entryway, or you can add some family photos to fill out the space and make it feel a little cosier.

Add More Natural Elements

Incorporating more natural materials in your interior design is the perfect way to make your space feel warm and welcoming. Consider adding wooden furniture, photo frames or decorative pieces to your interior. You can also incorporate natural materials such as leather, aged metals and linen in your design to make your space feel warmer. Try adding some plants to bring some life to your space and make it feel even more inviting.

Use Throws, Blankets And Cushions

Nothing makes a room feel cosier than extra blankets, cushions and throws. Not only are these a functional way to stay warm and cosy on those chillier evenings, but they can also add a new element to your interior design. Layering different colours, fabrics and textures is a wonderful way to add a sense of depth to your space. Try using warm neutral colours that complement each other and fit in well with your overall aesthetic.

Change Your Curtains

While in the warmer months of the year, you want to leave as much natural light and fresh air into your home as possible, during the cooler months of the year, most homeowners want the opposite. Large heavy drapes help to keep the heat in and keep drafts out. Using heavy, patterned, floor to ceiling curtains, your new window hangings will serve as a standout feature of your newly designed interior, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to your home.

Update Your Home To Make It Feel Warm And Cosy

With just a few simple updates to your home’s interior, you can make sure that it always feels cosy and inviting. Whether you want to change your interior design seasonally or you want to enjoy a cosier, more inviting home all year round, with just a few small changes, you can ensure that you achieve the results that you are looking for and create a design that you will be happy with.
