Have you noticed that in hotels and large office lobbies, the space is usually divided into several seating areas that provide intimacy and a sense of connection? That's because large spaces can make people feel unsettled. Most people are attracted to cozy spaces that feel comfortable and safe.
It's the same for our homes. So, even if you’re fortunate enough to have a large house or large rooms in your house, dividing the large spaces into smaller seating areas and creating cozy alcoves can make people enjoy their time in your home more, feeling safe, secure and comfortable.
You can add a cozy look, no matter how your home is decorated. Some cozy touches include:
• Finishing a bay window area with a fabric-covered seat and soft window fashions
• Setting up a small, snug dining area in the corner of your kitchen or in the corner of a den or patio
• Making the landing at the top of your stairs into an intimate seating area, with a small couch or chairs and a bookcase
• Adding soft rugs over hard surface floors, such as tile and wood
• Topping your window fashions with soft fabric draperies or top treatments from Hunter Douglas
• Arranging throw pillows and soft throws over your couches and chairs
• …And for a quick and easy scented touch of cozy-ness, put out spicy smelling candles or bake some gingerbread or apple pie!
Increase the coziness of your home this winter, and friends and family will gather!
