Baskets always add an element of cozy. I think they are best filled with wood for the fireplace or blankets to snuggle up in, thus making them just the right thing to warm up your room for cooler days.

Every room needs a comfortable chair. I love the tailored, relaxed feel of this one. A chair like this in a little nook for reading screams cozy. Now all that is needed is a book, a blanket and a cup of tea.

Making a room cozy means lots of throws and blankets — even layering them. Use some for pretty and some for pure comfort. These are by far the softest blankets to snuggle up with on the couch. I want one in every room.

Saying something (literally) with decor personalizes a home, and a home that is personal is a cozy one. I love the idea of spelling out a meaningful word with these on a shelf or on the fireplace with votives lit up all around.

Fire is cool with this indoor fireplace. A fire on a cold night is quintessential cozy. If I didn't have a fireplace I would have to have this sleek one, no doubt.
