LOOK

The light in your home has more impact than you think. Are you using the same lights as when you moved in? No wonder. Aside from buying lampshades that look good, few of us pay much attention to the light in our homes. Walking into a room with stark lighting can be off-putting. Not to mention the headache it gives you! Get to grips with the lighting in your home. Decide what atmosphere you want your light to convey. Stark lighting may be harsh, but it can work in a minimalist environment. Warm lighting, however, can add to a cozy atmosphere in any home. You could even look into buying some fairy lights for your home! What better way to add a homely feel to any room? These are great, because they’re a feature of their own!

FEEL

The feel of your home is important, too! A cold house isn’t good for anyone. There’s something unappealing about cold rooms. No one likes coming home to a cool space! Heat problems can make it hard to get the cozy vibe most of us are after. Take steps to make sure your home feels toasty warm at all times! Installing a wifi thermostat will allow you to turn your heat on before you get home! You could also take steps to keep your home warmer when the heat isn’t on! Getting something like Anlin replacement windows will ensure heat doesn’t escape from your windows! Investing in blinds and thick curtains will also keep heat in. You could invest in some draught excluders to keep those pesky breezes at bay. Fall in love with your home all over again by making it the warm space it deserves to be.

SMELL

Last on our sensuous journey through your home is smell! All homes have a scent of their own, though most of the time we don’t notice the smell of our own. Why not take control of the smell of your home by investing in some beautiful smelling products? Candles and potpourri can be a fantastic feature to your home, as well as making the place smell nice. If you are going to use scented products to make it smell nice, make sure to go for scents that are similar. Citrus and vanilla aren’t going to work together, are they? Stick to scents that match!
