And your home is going to feel so nice that you will want to stay at home all day!
Our home is where we live the best moments of our life with the people that we love, where we rest and where we dream, that is why it is so important that our place has a cozy, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.
During the fall when the temperature drops it is even more nice to stay at home with a warm drink and a piece of cake (check out our German apple walnuts cake perfect for the autumn. ) and snuggle up on the sofa or in bed and enjoy the fall and your home.
Therefore here are 10 sustainable ways to make your home cozy this fall:
1- Clean and declutter
The basis for keeping a beautiful house with a cozy, nice and welcoming atmosphere is to keep it clean, clear and tidy.It is also true that when we have kids at home (and I have two), keeping the house perfectly tidy is very difficult, the toys of the children are everywhere, you are doing a million things at the same time, and sometimes we don’t have the time to have the house so tidy as we want, ufffff, what I do and I think is very practical is set in the living room and in the room of the kids a big basket, so I can collect quickly all the toys in the basket and the house looks quickly more tidy.
2- Add rugs
An area rug give to your home a warm, soft and a cozy feeling. Create a luxurious fall atmosphere with a comfortable rug, this can be a fluffy rug, it feels so soft and nice under your feet, look chic and cozy.
Use rugs in your living room and in you rooms adding also personality and a chic style to your home.
3- Add curtains
The curtains are those that transform a place instantly, the curtains create a cozy atmosphere: they provide privacy, help us filter the sunlight and add style and sophistication to the house. Try that the color of the curtains combine with the color of the rugs.
4- A comfortable sofa
Normally the sofa is the center of attention in the house. It’s where the visit sit, where you read, watch tv, talking… and one of the first things that we see every day when we come back home, therefore the sofa must be comfortable, cozy and attractive, sometime choose the right one is not so simple but choose your sofa in the color and style that you like and remember that the idea is that you come to home every day and you love how look in your living, That will make you feel more comfortable.
5- Add natural elements
Decorating with natural elements such as wood, bamboo, rattan, etc., it is very beautiful and create also a cozy and warm atmosphere in your house.
6- Less is more
A house overloaded with a lot of objects or too much decoration is not cozy, is not elegant and create stress. It is best to have the house as clear as possible. Try to collect the objects that you don’t really use and leave only those that you use or that you definitely love to see every day.
7- Add your personal touch
Decorate your space with the colors and in the style that you love, the idea is that you come in to your house and you love everything you see, that will definitely make your home more welcoming and make you feel at home.
I say this because sometimes we get carried away by trends that have nothing to do with our style and we end up buying things that we finally don’t like and/or we don’t use at all and these end up in our basement.
8- A soft touch
Blanket, pillows, cushions, everything that gives a softness and comfortable first impression is very pleasant and will also create a very cozy and welcoming feeling in your house.
9- Light colors
If you are looking for a relaxing effect in your home, the light colors or neutral tones are going to help you, pastel colors are chic, the spaces looks bigger and bring a calm and relaxing feeling.
10- Flowers and plants: the magic touch
Decorating with plants and flowers make your home look fabulous, welcoming, cozy and elegant. The flowers are my favorite for decorate and create the most beautiful atmosphere at home. I love it!

These are great ideas! I have a daughter so I can relate to trying to keep the house tidy!
When we first got our apartment, we had a cheap couch, but now we have a nice couch with a chaise & it’s 1000 times better. I love decorating with plants too!
Hi Karalee,
having the house tidy when there are children is a real challenge, the trick of the baskets works for me to collect all the mess faster.😘
