15 Designer Tips for a Comfortable and Cozy Home

Our home is a special place. It’s here that we relax, gather together as a family at the dinner table, and draw inspiration for the new day. So even the smallest feature of decor is important here. Modern designers have surprised us on many occasions with their unusual home makeovers, but even if you’re not planning on major changes there are still some tips you can follow to get things looking better.


Here are a few ideas compiled by Bright Side that can help you transform your home with the minimum of effort.

1. The front door creates the first impression

A visitor gets acquainted with your house at the front door. Its appearance is just as important for private homes as it is for rented apartments. If you want to decorate your door, try to add an element of your own personality to it. There are many ideas you can use here: paint it a new color, use a new material, add an attractive number, door handle or flowerpot alongside. You could even put up a welcome sign with a wreath.

2. Stylish things made from unusual bottles

If you have any attractive or unusual bottles originally used for wine or any other kind of drink, don’t throw them away. You can put them to many different uses at home: as vases, for example. Moreover, bottles like this can easily be decorated with beads or a bright pattern and used as an element of celebratory decorations.

3. Decorate a room with variations of a single theme


This could involve the use of any object you can imagine: stones, pine cones, wooden figurines, fruit in baskets. It’s better if the object in question has a rich color to it. You can place it/them in a vase or a bowl, and put it in a prominent position in the room. Your goal here is to place an emphasis on some aspect of the room or decor. If you’re going to use a container, it’ll be best if it’s transparent and simple in shape.

4. Flowers are synonymous with coziness

Flowers have the biggest effect if they’re placed in various corners of your home (on small tables, window sills, chests of drawers) and not grouped all in one place. If you end up with several bouquets of different colors after a celebration, you can divide them up into matching sets. The random placing of flowers at home will give you the feeling that they’re always present in your home — not just around celebrations.

5. The walls of your home reflect your personality

This idea can delight children as much as adults. Empty walls express nothing, whereas photographs, paintings, or unusual ornaments bought on vacation can give your home a dynamic quality, evoke emotion, and change your mood for the better. Give your imagination a little room to breathe, and you’ll find the perfect way to brighten up your walls.
