Wherever you live, you always look forward to a comfortable home. However, people don't often turn it into what they want because they worry about the costs. Actually, this is a common misconception—you don't need to spend a lot of money in order to make your home cozy.

Clear

The first thing you need to do before buying or rearranging anything is clear. There is no way to turn a messy space into an attractive one without organizing it. So, the first thing you do is clearing rooms. You don't have to throw out everything. Though clearing rooms can be an ongoing process that takes time, it's worth it.

Add Green Plants

Besides the eye-pleasing effect that plants and flowers have, they also remove toxins(毒素) from the air, making your environment healthier. If that isn't enough for you, they tend to help calm people down.

Try Darker Colors

Another thing you can do to make a room look warmer is use some darker shades in the decoration. Lighter colors are great for making a room feel bigger, but darker colors create a comfortable and attractive environment.

Adjust the Lighting

Last, but certainly not least, is lighting. The lighting in a room can make or break it, depending on how you go about it. Think of using the fireplace if you have one, lighting some candles and hanging up some string lights. Even a lamp can make all the difference to the environment of a room.
