Layered lights
Even if you feel like you’re lacking in the cozy department, simply addressing your lighting will make a huge difference. Layers of lighting make every room feel more welcoming. In the daytime, natural light is ideal. But for evenings, it’s nice to add a cozy glow. A good rule of thumb is to try to have a least three light sources in every room. Use a mix of table lamps, floor lamps, task lamps, and overhead lighting. Consider using warmer lightbulbs for the coziest ambience.
One of my favorite winter evening rituals is going around the whole house turning on all the lamps, lighting up the dark corners, and turning down the dimmers. It really sets the tone for a cozy evening!












One of my favorite ways to create hygee in my home is by cooking or baking and having people over to enjoy it! The BEST! ?
do you have any details on the new linens in the guest room? loving all the cozy grays and texture. thanks!
Thanks! They came from a variety of different places, I just collected each layer over time. But if you search “guest room” in my search bar you’ll find quite a few posts that may show some of the bedding items. Also to make it easier to find I try to add many of the items I have in my home to my shop, too, so you may find some of the items there! https://theinspiredroom.net/shop-my-house

Your home is fabulous, show warmth, comfort, and very inviting. I love your inviting style. You produced many helpful tips to help me obtain these gorgeous rooms. I too, love creating a quite comfortable spot in my home that’s all for ME. In that spot I love to relax, read your site and others, and just looking outside my window at Mother Nature. Thank you.
