For designer Rebecca Rollins<\/a><\/strong>, warming up a space is key to making it feel like home, starting with incorporating wood tones. But that\u2019s not all, because Rollins is also a proponent of using paint to warm up a room. \u201cPainting your walls a\u00a0warm greige color\u00a0like Sherwin Williams Drift of Mist<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is a great option,\u201d she explains. \u201cAnd layering lots of textures like linen and the raw and organic materials are a must.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layer, Layer, Layer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo cozy up your space, add layers,\u201d designer\u00a0Michelle Gage<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0says. All types are fair game. \u201cIn these spaces, we included layers of pillows, blankets, and even plants.\u201d This is a wonderful way to make your rooms<\/a><\/em><\/strong> feel more cozy by adding more of your favorite comfort objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utilize the Three L\u2019s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"designer-approved<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Designer Elizabeth Birch<\/a><\/strong> combines many of the suggestions highlighted above into a simple slogan. She says, \u201cI follow the 3 Ls when it comes to creating a comfortable home for my clients: lighting<\/a>, layering and love.\u201d This is the motto that has lead to the success of many of her design projects<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \"designer-approved<\/a>\n\n\n\n

Go Monochromatic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"designer-approved<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Designer\u00a0Catasha Singleton<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0finds that sticking with just one color in a monochromatic palette really makes it easier to feel cozy in a room. \u201cWhether or not the all-neutral room trend<\/a><\/strong> stays or goes, nothing says cozy like using a color consistently across the room,\u201d she comments. \u201cMy favorite monochromatic look is ivory boucle on a natural jute rug, with hints of light brown accents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Some Fire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Designer\u00a0Ashley Roi Jenkins<\/a><\/strong> says \u201cCandles and fireplaces are essential in my homes. I even have a plug-in fireplace which I purchased online and assembled. It plugs in, lights up, and throws heat all with a remote.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Declutter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is not the most glamorous step to take, but it has such a profound impact on how we interact with our spaces,\u201d designer\u00a0Elle Jupiter<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>promises. Find the spots in your house where clutter gives you the most anxiety and really declines the quality of your interior design and get rid of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set Out Throw Pillows and Blankets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sherpa, waffle knit, and woven throw pillows<\/a><\/em><\/strong> are a quick and easy way to make any sofa extremely cozy,\u201d designer\u00a0Nicole Martel<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0comments. \u201cAnd who doesn\u2019t love a chunky knit throw? With a purpose that is both functional and stylish, it\u2019s a win-win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \"designer-approved<\/a>\n\n\n\n

Include Personal Touches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Make your home cozy and personalized with photos of family and friends in side tables, consoles<\/a><\/strong> or even walls, as suggested by designer\u00a0Audrey Sterk<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think About Those Lightbulbs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lighting<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0can play such a key role in creating a cozy atmosphere, according to many designers around the world. \u201cMake sure you are using the right color temperature for your\u00a0light bulbs\u00a0to foster a cozy space,\u201d designer\u00a0Samantha Williams<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>suggests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a Dose of Life<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBring life into the space by adding fresh flowers or greenery,\u201d Palantino<\/a><\/strong> advises. Whether you drop by your local corner store in the city or clip branches from your backyard is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
