Lets get cozy!, 5 ideas to bring hygge to your space.

There is nothing better than a cozy space after a long day. Specially now that we are taking down all the Christmas decor that was filling our spaces with lots of texture and beauty, it kind of feels empty right? I am definitely missing the warm glow of twinkle lights at night and the extra dose of garlands everywhere. So how can we make a space feel cozy again, all year long?!

I love when a space can make you feel safe and welcomed, almost like a warm hug. If you ask yourself, what makes YOU feel cozy? It might be a different answer for everyone. It could be the smell of coffee being brewed, a soft and warm sweater, a fluffy blanket, the sound of relaxing music, a good book. It is all about us pleasing our senses! that is the key to a cozy space. Textures, lighting, aromas.

When it comes to our spaces, to make them feel cozy we need to bring those elements in the decor.

On todays post I will give you 5 ideas to bring cozy and add hygge to your space.

1. Add a blanket

First ingredient to your cozy space will be adding a blanket or a cozy pelt. Those two are my go to always and most of the time you would see both included in the same sofa.

2. Add a pillow combo

Think about a good mix of different textures and patterns. You don’t have to fill your sofa with pillows, just 4 or 3 will add a ton of personality and also they are the perfect cozy element because they can make the sofa feel comfy when sitting. I will talk more about pillow combinations on a future post, promise :)

3. Add Foliage

Bring the outdoors in! the easiest way to achieve that would be to add touches of greenery. Vases with flowers, or just a few pretty eucalyptus branches will add a beautiful touch in the space. It is all about layering textures.

4. Lighting, Light fixtures and candles

One of the most important decor elements will be light. If it is hard for you to change light fixtures you can also add lamps or twinkle lights, they make a space feel cozy with the beautiful glow. And candles! because they always can change the whole vibe of a space with the yummy smell. Think about burning a warm caramel scented candle, boom! cozy.

5. Add a rug
You already know how much I love adding rugs to our spaces! Rugs are the perfect layer of texture and also great decor accessory to help define a space. Visually they add a lot of interest as well without adding other elements and the best part is that they automatically make a space feel cozy and intimate. I love layering rugs, specially when using a neutral jute rug as the base.

Consider including those elements in your spaces and I promise it will feel cozier instantly. But my best advice will be, don’t strive for perfection, the coziest spaces are the ones that look lived in and enjoyed by the people that lives in the home.

See you on the next post!
