When you return home after a long day, you want to feel comfortable and relaxed - forgetting all the worries and stresses of life for a time being. You want to feel warm, rested, and homey. It’s just one of the reasons to make our homes feel as cosy as possible. It becomes even more important if you’re moving home. Your new home should make you feel comfortable and get all your senses going.

However, many people think they have to spend a fortune to make their home feel more cosy. That’s not always the case. In fact, making your home super cosy requires little effort and can be done without breaking the bank. Keep reading to find out five simple ways you can achieve maximum cosiness when you’re moving to a new home.

1. Create warmth with good lighting and candles

Good lighting is perhaps the first thing you should think about after moving home. There’s a reason why good lighting and scented candles are so important in making your home feel warm and cosy: the yellow lights and scented candles help you wind down. Setting up a relaxing environment throughout the home.

2. Freshly baked goods

One unique thing you can do to add cosiness into your house is have freshly baked cookies or cakes out on your kitchen countertop. This will make your kitchen feel really cosy. The smell of freshly baked goods makes your home feel more inviting and welcoming.

3. Make room for plants & flowers

When moving home, don’t forget to make room for fresh plants and flowers. Unless it’s a spider, a living element in the house will contribute to the overall cosiness of your home. Head out to your local garden centre and pick up plants and flowers that add a nice contrast to your decor. 

4. Add a shag rug

Another thing we recommend to add cosiness into your room is to put down a thick shag area rug. These rugs make all the difference - especially in your bedroom, living room, or family room. Just having your feet on a soft surface that’s thick and plush can get all your senses going. 

5. Add small comforts like throw pillows & blankets

The key to a comfortable and cosy living room is to add throw pillows. They are one of the easiest ways to change the look and feel of your room. We recommend adding pillows of all different colours, sizes, and textures. They can add so much charm to your decor. Also, consider throwing in some blankets along with those pillows as well. The layered duo of throw pillows and blankets allow you to cuddle up and feel cosy and warm after a tiring day.

Moving to a new home can be stressful. You have to take care of a lot of things before you can start thinking about making it cosy. But don’t fret! Achieving the maximum cosiness in your new home is way easier than you think. You just have to pay attention to the elements that actually make you feel more relaxed and comfortable at your new abode. Warm lighting, flowers, scented candles, rugs, pillows or even baking something new can help you achieve that level of comfort.
