The #1 Trick to Make Your Home Feel Cozy & Calm

The internet likes to tell us that there’s a plethora of things that can increase your overall sense of well-being and happiness inside of your home. And while these may or may not improve the atmosphere of your home, there’s one tip that is statistically proven to promote calm, comfort, and tranquility. That one thing is good lighting. Natural and low-temperature, “ warm ” artificial lighting, to be exact.

Bulbs Matter

You can have multiple light sources in a room, but if you ’ re using the wrong kind of bulbs, the purpose is moot. Incandescent refers to the traditional filament-style bulbs everyone recognizes–also known as Edison bulbs. Incandescent bulbs come in a variety of shapes and wattages These classic bulbs cast a warm, soft glow that’s inimitable They look beautiful in fixtures with clear globes where you can see the bulb inside.

Make Use Of Candlelight

Sure, it isn’t a powerful light source in terms of wattage, but it can outperform all other options when it comes to providing ambiance For candles that will actually pump out light, group several together in a non-functioning fireplace or utilize taper candles in a trio of holders.

Hang Sheer Drapes

If you have a natural light source in a room but a lack of privacy, employ sheer drapes or roller shades. The see-through aspect of the sheers allow plenty of natural light to filter through while also providing a buffer between you and the outside world.

Maximize Natural Light

Hands down the best light source you can have is from the sun itself. If you have it, make the most of it with tall windows, bright paint, and minimalist window treatments Nature and sunlight have a drastic impact on overall mental health and wellbeing, so double down on the benefits with houseplants and fresh greenery.

Utilize Mirrors

Placing mirrors in a room can reflect natural light streaming in from windows and create the illusion of a larger space. Try leaning a full-length mirror against a living room wall, or hang a small mirror above your sofa, fireplace, or console table. Paired with clean white paint, the overall effect is light, bright, and airy.
