Cozy Lighting Ideas for Every Room

Lighting is the single fastest way to make a room feel cozy. Warm bulbs, several small sources and a little candlelight do most of the work.

If you change one thing in a room, change the light. Swap cool bulbs for warm 2700K, trade the overhead fixture for a few lamps at different heights, and add a candle. Suddenly the whole space feels softer.
