Lighting is essential to make your house feel homey. Make sure that your rooms have a good source of natural light. Avoid hanging opaque or dark curtains in your windows, because if you do, light will not harmonize your home. Choose curtains according to your style and preferences. Your personal touch is very important in interior decorating.

If your home does not have large windows and you do not have natural light, do not worry, you can use artificial light to create a warm atmosphere. Get some nice general lighting and then highlight items or decorative objects with smaller lights. This will light up your spaces beautifully!

The colour range is an indispensable aspect to the warmth of a home. The walls and furniture or other decorative elements, must be in a warm palette. Reds, yellows, oranges and earthy colours increase the feeling of warmth and make your nooks even cosier. If you prefer, you can also choose soft blues or greens.

Everything in your home conveys a certain feeling. If you have room, you can incorporate a fireplace, whether classic, modern or purely decorative. The fireplace will significantly increase the warmth and homey feeling of the space.

If you don't have enough space or budget for a fireplace, add candles in key points of your house. You can even make your own candles if you like!

Spread out the furniture and decorative elements. It is essential that your home does not transmit an overwhelmed feeling, quite the contrary. It should be a comfortable and homey space where anyone can feel at ease and relaxed.

This is why adding cozy elements to your house will increase its homey effect. Use rugs and cushions on sofas and floor to create a real sense of being at home.
