Homeowners love to cook in their kitchens, have fun in their family rooms and get in gear in their garages. But there’s nothing quite as cozy as your own bedroom. This BrightNest article from Amy Thomson offers some helpful suggestions for making your bedroom the coziest place on the planet.
Welcome to cozy boot camp. If you’ve been relying on that 10-year old pair of flannel pajamas for your sole source of bedroom cozy, then it’s time for an upgrade. Let’s get started.
An electric heating pad. Heating pads are made for all people that like to be warm while they do lovely things like read or watch TV shows. Try turning your heating pad on a few minutes before you plan to snuggle up under the covers to avoid that cold-sheets transition.
More pillows, and then some more pillows. You want to be ready for every occasion: propping up your feet, sitting up straight and crafting, and feeling like you’re sleeping in a sunken pillow fortress. Call yourself the impromptu-pillow-party pioneer, and set sail.
A bedside lamp that actually works. Some bedside lamps can be absolutely adorable and, simultaneously, absolutely useless. We’re talking about those really small ones with cute, navy-blue shades that give off no light and make reading impossible. You need a bedside lamp that makes reading in bed a dream, and that has levels of brightness depending on your mood.
Something that’s alive. We know it’s winter and everything is dead and gray. That’s why you should consider adopting a new orchid or succulent plant. Something easy to care for that can bring some life back into your wake-up call. You could also buy 1-4 canine or feline companions to snuggle with you at all times.
