I’d say that if there was one thing we learned over the past few years, it was how to cozy up at home. I know that I used the time to find additional ways to turn our space into an oasis for relaxing and unwinding. Uncluttering was an important part of this process and it was fun to add  a few additions that made it just perfect.

Now that we’re out and about again, this is still an important lesson to take with us: Your home should always be a place where you feel secure and sheltered. Whether you work from home or go to an office, when you’re charging hard, you have to have a place where you can nourish your soul. As the old saying goes, you can’t pour from an empty cup. With this in mind, I’ve pulled together a list of things that will cozy up your home and leave you with all kinds of good vibes.

I’ve included ideas for everyone in the family, right down to your four-legged friends, and items at all price points. Whether you choose to add some warmth to greet you in your entryway or add charm to your den with these copper string lights at under $15 or invest in this delicious hand-knit chunky weighted blanket at $269 — that’s like what would happen if a fisherman sweater and a hug got together and had a baby — you’re sure to feel the love.

So settle in, explore, maybe shop a little and know that comfort and cheer are on the way.

My team and I carefully choose the items shared here with you and hope that you’ll love them as much as we do. Should you decide to purchase one of the products from this article, we may receive a small portion of that sale.
