A co-worker the other day asked me “What makes a house feel cozy?”

It’s mostly because one of the common compliments we receive about our home is that it’s cozy. And while cozy may mean different things to different people, it’s generally a compliment.

I interpret "cozy” to mean that a house is warm and inviting, and is a comfortable and welcoming place to experience and to inhabit. It’s neither stuffy nor cold, and it feels like it should be lived in (as opposed to a commercial property that is specifically made for working only).

Having a cozy home is so important - not only does it make your home welcoming and enjoyable to live in, but it helps in other ways too.
