As Christmas approaches, many of us find ourselves scrambling to finish our shopping, clean the house, prepare for guests, and cook the perfect holiday dishes. Squeezing the joy of the holidays into our schedule can be a challenge at times. Choose to make your home a cozy escape this holiday season. Here are some EASY tips to maximize coziness and enjoy quality time in your home with your family and friends.
Taste Bud Appeal
Have your guests’ mouths watering the minute they walk in the door by having a variety of scents and tastes ready for them.
- Candles – Set the mood with cozy lighting and the scent of a candle. Some of our favorite holiday scents are crushed candy cane, sugar cookie, blue fir & firewood, and apple spice.
- Drinks – Warm your guests up by offering a nice, hot drink as they arrive. Everyone loves a good cup of coffee, hot cocoa, or cider! The smell adds a nice touch, as well!
- Goodies – To top it all off, share some holiday treats with your guests. The smell and taste of warm cookies is guaranteed to deliver a smile!
Pique Their Interest
You can’t beat sinking into a sea of pillows on the couch with a warm, fuzzy blanket this time of year. Make time with your family and friends count with these cozy tips.
- Textures – Spruce up your furniture with extra soft pillows and throws. Faux fur and sheepskin are simply irresistible choices. A variety of textures provides both visual and tactile appeal.
- Music – Make your guests feel right at home with some background music. Play your holiday favorites, soft instrumentals, or try some classical. Fill the room with calming, pleasing sounds.
- Games – You never know when you’ll have a crew that’s down to play a game. Have your collection ready just in case, or invite your family and friends over to play.
