These Small Changes Will Help Make Any Living Room Feel Cozier Than Ever

This time of the year inspires many of us to want to be cozier than usual, and sometimes that means we might need to make a few changes to our homes to maximize our cozy factor. Luckily, there are plenty of small changes you can make that will go a long way toward making your home feel warmer.

Sometimes it's as easy as bringing in lamps instead of relying on overhead lighting, or simply creating a little nook at your home's entryway that feels warm and inviting.

Here are 27 items that will help make your home feel cozier than ever.

Add some candles.

Candles are easily one of the fastest, and often least expensive, ways to add an extra dose of cozy to any room, especially your living room. I am fond of traditional unscented wick candles, but there are also plenty scented and electric options if you don't want to deal with wax.

Definitely buy more blankets.

I live for throw blankets and literally have them in almost every room of my home (not to mention the pile that lives in the hallway closet). I am a big believer in the idea that you can never have too many!

Use lamps instead of overhead lighting.

Sure, overhead lighting is useful, and sometimes even desirable (like, say, if you are spending an hour or more looking for one tiny, yet crucial and missing Lego piece), but lamps have a way of making an entire room feel softer in an instant.

Consider floor seating.

Couches, sofas, and comfy chairs are all wonderful, but have you thought about adding floor seating to your living room? A well-placed set of cushions can go a long way toward creating the cozy living room of your dreams.
