Accessories are an easy way to up the coziness factor of a room. Pillows, blankets and rugs can all create that nice, warm feeling we crave after coming in from a winter’s day. Of course company like Oliver, a wirehair dachshund, doesn't hurt either.
Soft, warm lighting and a simple throw can make all the difference. “When I think of cozying up a house, I often think of textiles, throws to throw over your sofa or chair," says Galen Tarman, owner of Blue Heron, 642 Locust St.
You can’t snuggle up to it, but lighting is an incredibly important part of creating that cozy feeling. A reading lamp adds more light between seating areas.
Cozy doesn't have to mean expensive. These paper lights do an excellent job of providing a warm, mellow glow to an already comfortable room. Add to that a fresh coat of paint in a bold hue and you'll have a radiant space in no time.
