I love a cozy space. Whether it’s one room or a whole house, having a place where you can curl up on your own, or warmly entertain friends and family, has always been important to me. Since we are all spending more time in our own space, having a comfortable home, is important now more then ever.
Pillows and blankets are a must! Nothing says lets cuddle like pillows and blankets. Throw pillows on your bed and couch can also bring some colour into your spaces and always look inviting. Having blankets available for your family or guests to grab when they require it, is always a great idea. Place a basket in your living space with the coziest selection to entice extra comfy-ness.
It is very important to have a clean environment. Sure the animal hair may never be completely gone, but taking a little extra time here and there to vacuum or dust is not only good for your physical health, but mental health as well. Ensuring your spaces are clean and organised, creates a serene space for everyone to enjoy. Maintaining your home inside and out, will bring clean, safe living for years to come.
Stock up! Having ample supply of snacks and drinks (don’t forget to include healthy options) are a great way to create that home sweet home vibe. Making your guests comfortable to reach for anything they require and having that delight handy to put out when you need to, sets your mind at ease. No need to frantically run out last minute.
Create good vibes in your space. People subconsciously notice negative energy so always invite the good vibes. Focus on the 5 senses to bring in positiveness:
- See – Use mostly natural and neutral colors in your space to evoke calm. Pops of colour when used correctly can bring joy and brightness. Don’t forget to include some plants!
- Touch – Include furniture or other home accessories with different textures and textiles.
- Smell – Burn some candles or pop on your natural oil diffuser for that homey smell.
- Taste – Dust off your cooking skills! Providing a tasty snack or great meal always goes down well with your family and guests.
- Hear – Always play some background music. This will set the mood and fill in the silence, creating a welcoming space.
Lastly, i have found creating functional spaces brings me so much joy and boosts the cozy-ness. Knowing where everything is and being able to grab it when required, brings ease into your daily actions.
Let’s all create positive, calm and cozy homes to enjoy all day everyday!
Till next time…
