Pretty much the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word “cozy” is a nice assortment of soft, fuzzy blankets. Adding A big ole’ basket full of blankets is a super-easy way to warm up your living room and get it fall-ready! You can never have too many fuzzy blankets, so go wild with it!
2. Oversized Rug

A rug is another easy way to bring a little warmth in! A nice soft rug basically begs you to kick your shoes off and get comfy.
3. Plants, plants, plants!

Plants instantly bring so much life and coziness into a room. Mix it up with a variety of hanging, floor, and table plants for some dimension. If you don’t have a green thumb, there are some super realistic looking fake plants these days. If it were up to me, every room would have 10-15 plants, but allergies and I don’t always see eye-to-eye on this one. Get as many plants as your allergies allow, and watch your room instantly transform into a movie watching paradise.
4. Warm Soft Lighting
Think string lights, Edison bulbs, cozy lamps, candles, fireplace, fake fireplace. Anything that provides a little light and ambiance without having your overhead lights on! What could be more relaxing than a blanket-filled, plant-filled, candle scented, dreamy living room? This set up will also be perfect for those cold winter months, so you’re basically building yourself a hibernation den that even bears would be jealous of! (but don’t show off your space to any bears)

5. Bring on the pumpkins!

This is probably a no-brainer, but you know we had to say it! Fall decor! There’s nothing like a few pumpkins and fall scented candles to get you in the cozy state of mind. Add up all the above elements, and you’ve got the perfect place to curl up with a book and live out the colder months. What’s your favorite way to get your space cozy for fall?
