It’s important to keep your home comfortable so you and your loved ones can enjoy the time you spend there. And since we spend most of our time in our homes, making it comfortable is a worthwhile investment. This is especially true today when we are all being urged to stay at home. 

With all of that in mind, we wanted to give you a few tips on how you can make your home more comfortable.

Declutter

The first and most important thing you should do is declutter your home. That means that you should eliminate all the things you don’t need. Having a messy house is one of the main reasons why people don’t feel comfortable in their homes, which is why you should get rid of all the things you haven’t used for a few months and those you don’t need. Give them to charity or put them in storage, and throw out the rest.

Clean and Keep it Clean

Everyone who wants a comfortable home should keep it clean. A clean home has a massive impact on how comfortable you feel in it. Try to do a thorough cleaning at least once a week and encourage everyone in your household to clean up after themselves. (We know it’s easier said than done.) 

Embellish

Making the home comfortable should always entail making it more beautiful. This may look different from person to person, but the important part of making yourself comfortable is that it’s attractive to you.

We advise you to try hanging art in the living room, getting some new furniture, or potting some flowers (even fake flowers can do the trick). You can also display childhood memories around the home, such as framed pictures and memorabilia. 

Consider Doing These Small Things

• Change the bedding as the season changes. Make sure you use something truly comfortable like cotton and linen in the summer and flannel in the winter. 
• Buy some snuggly pillows as they are far cozier than regular pillows. 
• Use softer lighting throughout the home. Using warm-toned LED lightbulbs are perfect because they emit a more relaxing light than the striking white ones or traditional filament bulbs. 
• Personalize furniture pieces (or at least one of them). Making light changes to turn them into something more appealing will be more than enough to improve the overall comfort level in your home.
• Invest in simple scented candles or some fragrance oils to make the home smell lovely. That will go a long way toward making it feel more comfortable as the air we breathe is vital when it comes to how comfortable we feel.

How About Better Air?

One thing that can dramatically improve the comfort of your home is circulating healthy air throughout the house. The best way to get that is to invest in a whole-house humidifier or an entire HVAC system for great air and comfortable temperatures throughout the year.
