How to Make Your Space More Homey
If you’ve known me for any amount of time you know that I am no stranger to relocating and creating cozy homes for myself. Following my mom’s job in sales, we moved from Southern California to Massachusetts, Arkansas, Ohio, and later back to Massachusetts. I also transferred all 4 years during my time studying my undergraduate. All this to say that I have experience creating cozy homes no matter the length of time spent there.
Textiles - seems obvious coming from us but honestly, a cozy blanket, a favorite Turkish towel to wrap up in after your morning shower. Nothing can make you feel more like home than the touch of the softest Turkish cotton. Our Lake House Collection is my current obsession.
Candles - a calming scent can create a familiar ambiance instantly (if you have the right candle). We love HyggeLight | The Growing Candle because not only are the scents amazing, you can plant the seed paper label once the candle is burned through to repurpose the ceramic container.
Framed Photos of people and places you love - This personal touch will make you feel surrounded by the people and places that create safety and love in your heart and soul. I love purchasing second-hand frames. Try searching through your local thrift shop to give an old frame new life!
Whether you are preparing to go away to school this fall, or maybe you took a new traveling nurse assignment: making your new temporary home homey is important for a smoother transition.
What would you add to this list?
With love,
