I always drink a cup of coffee in the morning and then a cup of tea in the afternoon/evening. Lovely video! Your shots are always so aesthetic. 🌱

I bought some second hand old fashion looking lamps a few weeks ago and put one in the kitchen and one in the lounge area. Instant cozy! Even in day time. Its summer here in Australia, but turning off the bright overheads at night and having little lamps makes it feel cooler and cozy at the same time. Plus our house is cool and dark so it's like walking out of the bright sun into a cozy little cave on the side of hill. Feeling a little hobbity today!

I really enjoyed this video and incorporate these things into my home. I believe keeping a tidy home is the most important part of creating a calm home too. There’s nothing more stressful for me than looking around my home and seeing clutter or a mess. I feel like I can’t relax until the mess is straightened. With that being said, another way to create a cozy home is often contradictory to maintaining a clean home— and that’s having a soft, cuddly kitty or two. For my family, there is nothing more cozy than having one of our cats curl up beside us. Having a pet requires so much extra cleaning and maintenance, so getting a new cat is a big decision to make; but for my family, it’s worth the extra sweeping, litter box emptying, and vacuuming of furniture.
Another way I create a warm home is through a coherent, calm color scheme. I decorate in mostly white, aqua, and pale yellow. My bedroom and bathroom are furnished and decorates in different shades of white. These colors are easy on my eyes and help me relax. My daughter decorates on the warm side. She enjoys making her whole apartment feel like an old den with dark wooden furniture and dark maroon and navy fabrics on her windows, bed, and couch. Even though her color scheme is very different than mine, it’s still really cozy. She recently bought lamps to create a softer atmosphere. Before buying them, she used the overhead lights in the evenings. Those overhead lights can cast a harsh glove to the room and hurt some of our eyes. I enjoy soaking up every minute of sunshine during the day, but when the sun sets, I’m ready to relax and enjoy the darker evenings. I only use as much light as I need for the task I’m doing. When I’m cooking, I use the light above the stove. I use the light above my sink while washing my dishes, I have lamps beside my couch, beds, and in my office. For me, using soft sources of lighting helps me relax in the evenings and get ready for bed. I hope these ideas help someone else, although I think a lot of us incorporate these ideas into our homes every day. I’m sure I’ve taken dozens of the cozy things in my home for granted. I’ll read through the comments to see what everyone else thinks and I’m sure I’ll nod in agreement.

Candles, a good book, a fluffy blanket and a warm fire, that's my basics at this season 😍
Love from France 😘

One of the greatest pleasures in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

I’m a coffee girl and on the weekend I love making a latte, which I sweeten with My Vegan’s chocolate drops which just make my coffee amazing. Then I sit in my sofa chair in my room for my prayer time. I love having a video by Aura Relax on YouTube, the music is so soothing and I choose the ones that have the same season we’re experiencing so at the moment it’s winter scenes. As soon as I play them I immediately know it’s time to chill. A minimal bedroom really helps me to get cosy and not distracted and I light a candle with a calming fragrance. I also love cooking up food that makes me feel cosy, like lasagne or shepherds pie.

I drink tea out of a fine bone china mug. Porridge is my cozy food. I don't do candles with children or pets especially my cats. Love clean sheets but a sun dried scratchy towel after a soak in the bath ...bliss. I have 3 cozy spots in my house to sit, read, listen to audiobooks, crochet, knit, chat to friends on the phone and of course watch your YouTube videos.

I'm in love with coffee but i have just one in the mornings, then I have 2-3 cup of black tea during the day and if it's cold I would like to have a chamomile tea or black tea with rose bud😊 or with honey.

My favorite tea bag is the celestial tea in Apple Cinnamon and herbal teas during fall and autumn season .

[carmelialipatova]

I am bringing field flowers, plants, leaves and hang them on the walls. Also, always have eucalyptus twigs in my shower 🚿 It looks and smells heavenly 😊

Having my indoor plant and potted flower (orchid) near me. A plate of nibbles with my hot drink. Having a floor lamp that emits soft light from a corner. The candle burning from a lantern. Fireplace nearby. I enjoyed this video so much!!

Your art is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with us.

I love this video, thank you. I love my warm beverage that I call "Vegan Coffee". it's simply cacao & maca powders, pinch of ginger, cinnamon & salt, with drizzle of honey to taste. This & turmeric milk are my cost go-to's.

Candles candles... something I have been wanting to try, will gift myself something this Christmas to support local artisans too.. 🙂

I love salt lamps especially in autumn/winter time. They give such a fabulous warm glow that makes everything more cosy and hygge like🔥 Lovely video as always.

[arlenecoury]

Using lamp light instead of overhead lighting, adds a cozy vibe to any space. Keeping books on hand, seasonal notepads for jotting down list. throw blankets, was burners or diffusers.

[stevieelliott]

I love having fresh cut flowers, or potted flowers. This time of year I also love bringing the outdoors in by cutting small budding branches and twigs and bringing them inside to turn green or flower in a vase. Loved this video Meghan!
