Cozy Home Décor

• Fluorescent and halogen lights look harsh and are too bright for coziness and warmth in the room. Use soft incandescent lights instead.
• Direct the light to attract the attention to visually appealing focal point in the room such as down lighting as from lamps shades of table lamps or up-lighting for attracting the attention to the family photos and portraits on the walls.
• Make use of variety of textures. Soft and fluffy pillows, cushions and throw blankets make the room look cozier while baskets and hardbound books arranged neatly in book cases make the room look more sophisticated and ethnic. Black chrome armchairs, metallic round chairs, modern irregular-shaped tables and large mirrors make the room look too formal.
• For the cozy room décor, use textured furniture as sleek furniture makes the room look quite formal.
• The use of more patterns makes the room appear smaller and cozier. In a small room, use patterns sparingly.
• Throw rugs add instant warmth to the room and are great for those who are renting.
• Dark warm-toned colors on walls, furniture or furnishings make room look smaller but cozier.
