There’s something inviting about a cozy home—a place where comfort, warmth, and tranquility intersect to create a haven from the outside world. Achieving cozy interiors isn’t just about physical comfort; it’s about cultivating an atmosphere that wraps you in a sense of contentment and relaxation. Whether it’s the soft glow of warm lighting, plush textures, or the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, creating coziness in your home is an art that anyone can master. Read on, and if you are looking to add some cozy pieces to you home, check out KF’s picks on Amazon here!

Embracing Soft Textures and Luxurious Fabrics

Texture plays a pivotal role in establishing coziness within a space. Introduce soft, tactile elements such as plush throws, fluffy rugs, and tactile fabrics like velvet or faux fur. Add depth and warmth by draping a knit blanket or layering various textured cushions on your sofa. Textures not only visually enhance a room but also invite touch, encouraging a sense of comfort.

Warm Lighting and Ambiance

Lighting plays a pivotal role in setting the mood within any space. KF advocates for the use of warm, soft lighting to create a cozy atmosphere. Using lamps, candles strategically, transforms a room into a calming sanctuary with ambient lighting. Dimmer switches or smart lighting systems also provide flexibility, allowing homeowners to adjust the brightness according to their preferences.

Earthy Tones and Natural Elements

Kathy Fielder uses nature-inspired tones for comfort and serenity in her designs. Warm browns, soft greens, and calming blues create an ideal cozy space with neutral color palettes. Incorporating natural materials like wood, stone, or rattan furniture further enhances the connection to nature, fostering a tranquil environment.

Personalized Touches and Sentimental Objects

To truly make a space feel cozy and inviting, infuse it with personal touches and cherished items. Personal items add warmth, character, shaping a room to reflect the owner’s history and personality. By incorporating sentimental objects, one can create a space that feels truly lived-in and welcoming.

Creating Functional and Intimate Spaces

Functionality is key to creating a cozy home. Kathy Fielder emphasizes the importance of arranging furniture in a way that encourages intimate conversations and comfortable gatherings. Cozy nooks, reading corners adorned with soft armchairs, and inviting seating arrangements around a fireplace or coffee table facilitate a sense of togetherness and relaxation.

Creating cozy interiors is more than just arranging furniture and adding decorative elements; it’s about curating an atmosphere that fosters comfort, relaxation, and a sense of well-being. By incorporating soft textures, warm lighting, personal touches, and decluttering, you can transform your home into a warm and inviting sanctuary—a place where you can unwind, recharge, and truly feel at peace.

Place settings

The best way to make your home seem more glam… Style out your table. Mix up what you already have to create a tablescape that inspires you and impresses your guests. China, glassware, crystal, and flatware…  A new centerpiece is so easy to create and changes the table in its entirety. With the holidays, there are so many great things you can do and it’s the perfect time to make the change and feel inspired.  The possibilities are truly endless.  Fresh flowers from the local market, different shades and styles of candles, brilliant flatware.  This is a true canvas where you can create something all your own.

You don’t have to spend a fortune to have a beautifully put together table. See 50 Easy Holiday Centerpieces.

We all love a well decorated table.  See KF’s fave inspo, tips, and details on the blog! See Dinner & Entertaining For Busy Moms On-The-Go and The Smart Girls Guide to Entertaining.

Statement Pieces

If you’re room isn’t speaking to you when you walk into it, it’s time to make a statement. A defining end table, distinct sculpture, or engaging rug completely transforms your room.  When styled and placed properly for maximum impact, it’s a game changer. An end table adds an extra surface for more accessorizing, as well as a functional place for family and friends to place a drink. Like art, a sculpture can be personal and inspirational. Just pick something you love and place on the mantel, table or bookshelf. Mix up the colors of the space you already have with a rug. Make sure what you currently own still coordinates and meshes with the colors or patterns visually, or take a few away (and store them) for next season, just like you do your wardrobe.  Designing interiors is very similar to fashion.  Classic pieces anchor the space.  Trendy pieces update and give the space a breath of fresh air.

Holiday Decor

What’s the holiday season without a little festive decor? Check out our Pinterest board for a little inspiration to make your house sparkle with your own personal style this wonderful time of year!

KF Tip ~ One of the most inexpensive ways to update your home and have it feel truly refreshed is to organize your home. It costs nothing but time, but in the end, by putting things away, clearing clutter and countertops, you create a brand new look in your space that is a breath of fresh air.  Clear countertops and spaces, fresh greenery, and subtle nuances refresh and make your home something that comforts and invites your familly and friends to enjoy the most important facets of the holiday season.

Summer is the time for entertaining – both indoors and out. Whether you’re having a few friends over or a big party, a beautiful table that is easily ready for hosting is a must. Hanging by the pool or throwing a more relaxed dinner party, maybe a touch of both? We have you covered! Spending the evening indoors and then cocktails by the pool, we’ve got all the inspo you need to create a beautiful event. See KF’s inspo here for quick and easy tablescapes, whether you’re hosting indoors, outdoors or all of the above!

Indoor Table

KF knows the importance of utilizing essentials. She usually has her table set with universally chic pieces so it’s easy to add needed items to mix and match and add to your theme. One of the quickest ways to add a touch of personality to your table is with your centerpiece. It easily is one of the key pieces that sets the theme and tone of your party.

Mixing patterns with solid colors adds interest to any table setting. KF mixes uniquely diamond patterned small plates with her vintage purple dishware to create a festive and fun vibe, and an unexpected color combo that proves why she is the lifestyle expert! This perfect pairing is so fun for your summer table and is suitable for all kinds of themes and meals.

This table has all the essentials for hosting a dinner party or serving a quick meal so everyone can hop in the pool to cool off after dinner or enjoy a nice cocktail al fresco! KF utilized some unique vintage pieces from plates to glassware along with a festive harlequin touch to create a one of a kind tablescape that is whimsical, fun, and inviting.

Mixing different sizes and shapes of glassware adds a level of sophistication to a table and allows guests to sip on multiple beverages during the meal, ensuring your guests’ ease and enjoyment during your dinner party.

Outdoor Table

Is this not the most KF table you’ve ever seen? Perfectly styled in her signature color and perfect for the summer season!

An outdoor meal is the perfect place for plastic wear. It makes for easier clean up, but with such economic, yet chic choices on the market, you just can’t go wrong. Brilliant!

A center piece with solar powered lanterns from World Market, paired with rosemary gives her table an invitingly natural look.

KF tip ~ An ice bucket with different drink choices located close to your table makes it easy to quickly refresh drinks while you are outside and feels a little less formal and more inviting to guests. Have a mix of what everyone is enjoying so you can easily help them refill throughout the party and don’t have to run inside too often and can enjoy yourself as well. Also, don’t forget the music. A Bluetooth speaker is the perfect way to keep the vibe relaxing and festive.

Having other seating areas outside of your dining table ensures your guests comfort and enjoyment all day and into the evening. KF styled her outdoor seating area by the pool and with all of the outdoor textiles and rugs you can find on the market today, the sky is the limit on creating your outdoor oasis.
