Painting should always be the first on your list if you’re able to do it. Although painting may seem daunting and it definitely can be if you manage to find that you’re able to paint you definitely should. Just painting a room can completely change it’s vibe and make it look completely different. If you want something that is a little cozier consider going a little darker with grey’s or grey blues. ALthough you may think that these shades will be sad or depressive they’ll actually make a room feel cleaner and significantly calmer than if it was just a crisp white room, while those can be nice a crisp white room may feel like it’s too empty which isn’t the goal you’d want to achieve if you want your home to feel cozier.
Framed photos are another great way to make your home feel a little more personal.
