Hello! I hope you’re all having a great week so far. For some reason, I really really love Mondays. I’m not sure why, but they’re just exciting to me! New possibilities, a fresh start.. yeah, I’m ultra cheesy! Today as I was shooting for a campaign I had an idea to share my 4 tips to make a space feel extra cozy ( especially, this time of year! )
There’s nothing worse than feeling like your space isn’t inviting or cozy. But there are some really simple fixes to this.
How To Make A Space Feel Extra Cozy
- Layer up
Never underestimate the power of throw blankets and pillows. Also invest in some good down inserts. I love these inserts and I buy them 2″ bigger than my pillow cover. Having a sofa full of pillows and throw blankets to cozy into after a long day of work goes a long way in making a space feel lived in and it’s also like a big bear hug!

2. Layer Your Lighting
Ambiance is something that can make a space feel ultra cozy. Even if the lights aren’t on, lighting can make a space feel layered.
In our space we have two oversized table lamps, a big pendant in the middle of our room, as well as a picture light over our mantle ( which isn’t wired in 😉 )
All of the lighting adds texture and layers into our living room and also draws the eye in. With our pendant light, we added a ton of contrast with the warm and dark tones.

3. Add Art
Art can add life into your space. I’ve started to rekindle my love for vintage art and If you can believe it, the piece of art on our mantle is actually our TV and here’s where I found the art from. The other pieces on our shelving is from our local thrift store and I spray painted the frames and mats.

4. Add A Mirror
Adding a mirror can really up the ambiance in your space and make it feel so cozy. Not only will it bounce light in the room and make it feel brighter, but it will also make it feel like there is a window in the space.
When I was growing up, I have a distinct memory of the candles and Christmas lights glimmering in the mirror. It’s one of the coziest memories I have. Now I always make sure I have a mirror in the rooms we spend the most time in!
Similar to the one we had in our home growing up, is this gold mirror it gives off all the antique vibes.
