I'm baaaaack! I've had a lot of things happening over the past six months. Moving into a new apartment, starting a new job, and the overall craziness of life had me feeling a little bit overwhelmed. After a little break, I'm feeling recharged, inspired, and so happy to be back creating content & sharing ideas for every aspect of your home!

With fall weather approaching, everyone is longing for the cooler air and the opportunity to make things a little cozier. I'm sharing 5 ways to make your home feel cozy this fall!

1. Change the Lighting

Bright, overhead lighting will always take the coziness out of any room. Switch the ceiling lights off! Turn on a few lamps and light a few candles for a softer vibe.

2. Layer Soft Goods

Think pillows, blankets, comforters, and anything you want to curl up into. Layer them all together to create a cozy reading nook. And remember, it doesn't have to be perfect!

3. Embrace Aromatherapy

Scent plays a large role in how we perceive a space. Scent builds a story in our memories that affects our emotions. To curate a cozy home, light your favorite candles or grab your best essential oil combo!

4. Introduce Greenery

Biophilic design, a direct interaction with natural elements inside the built environment, has a direct impact on our health, wellness, and overall mood.

5. Make It Flawed!

Seriously, don't make it perfect! The coziest of spaces aren't perfect. They are a little mismatched and lived in, but they make you feel at home in the best way possible. There's nothing homey or cozy about a museum!
