How to Create a Cozy Room on a Budget in 4 Easy Steps

June 14, 2017

Creating a cozy room from scratch can seem as though it’s going to take a lot of time and it’s going to take a lot of money. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you’re just starting out and want a simple way to create a cozy room that you can add your own personal touches to as time goes on, then follow these four steps.

1. Get a candle with a bright scent you love

Did you know that the sense of smell is the sense that most quickly brings up emotions? A room that’s cozy doesn’t just look cozy – it feels cozy. Having a beautifully scented candle can instantly make you feel like you’re home. As an added bonus, candles let off lovely light which can further help set the scene.

2. Hang a mirror on the wall

Art may be considered an essential to create a room that looks put together, but the truth is that art is expensive. While you keep an eye out for that perfect piece at a bargain, find an affordable mirror with a great frame and hang it on your wall. It will reflect light, which helps make the room feel more comfortable and larger, and adds a cool artistic touch that goes with any type of furniture or accessories.

3. Invest in window coverings

There is nothing that can so instantly change the way a room looks and feels than a set of high quality window coverings. At Half Price Drapes we offer many options. To let plenty of light come into the room, consider sheer curtains. On the other hand, if you need to control the light in the room – say in a bedroom that overlooks a well-lit street – then blackout curtains may be a better option.

4. Make sure you have a comfortable place to sit

No matter how cozy you may help your room look, if there’s nowhere to sit and relax then no one’s going to feel comfortable. You don’t need an expensive couch to get the job done. You may instead invest in a couple of cozy chairs, or even a nice rug and a pile of cozy, fancy pillows you can sit on with your friends. It doesn’t matter what it looks like – what matters is that you can truly relax in the room.
