Use Scents
To make your guests feel cozy and welcoming, you will want to display amazing smells in the different parts of your house. Nothing in the world can diffuse the power of scents that you can leverage in the house in the form of scented candles.
As a matter of fact, you can use scented candles as a way to make your guests feel at home, as there is nothing more inviting than being instantly drawn to the power of scents. Everyone loves scented candles, so don’t forget to place some in the guest bedroom and bathroom, too. Speaking of the bathroom, don’t forget to stock up on fresh towels.
You have several scents to choose from – the most popular ones include the scent of baked cookies, lavender, and apple cinnamon.
Add Textiles
Another simple yet effective way to make your house look and feel more interesting is to add soft textiles and textures in the various parts of the house. The thing about textiles and textures is that they instantly create a touch of coziness.
The best part is that you have loads of options to choose from. For instance, you might want to install a fluffy carpet in your living room. The fluffy, light-colored carpet will emphasize the classic wooden furniture and add a sense of elegance to your living room.
However, you will want to ensure that you have a sense of cohesion in every room, which is why you will want to place the first half of the furniture onto the carpet. This way, you can create a sense of cohesion and boost the level of coziness.
Speaking of coziness, you will also want to ensure furnace maintenance, especially when you are having guests over during the coldest season of the year. Add a few cozy throw blankets and pillows to your living room to take the level of coziness a notch higher.
Improve the Entrance
The entrance of your house is the ultimate point that will make or break the first impression that your guests will have of your house. So, you will want to start with the entrance and put some extra effort into decorating this part of the house.
Ideally, you will want to ensure great lighting in this part of the house. Also, don’t be afraid of hanging up a piece of art or a beautiful mirror – whatever will draw the attention of your guests to this part of your house. While decorating the entrance, you might as well want to experiment with various decorations before deciding on one theme that works best for the entrance.
We recommend you incorporate a statement piece or two. And if you are on a budget, you might want to stick to the basics of getting a chic welcome mat.
