2. Add seating to your bedroom. This gives the room a lounge-like appeal that will tempt you to curl up with a book.You can find affordable vintage leather seating at places like thrift stores and flea markets.

3. Try hanging curtains all the way across a wall. it will add visual interest, and the bulk of material will create a cozy effect. Ikea has endless curtain options starting at just $10 per pair, so you can buy plenty of panels to reach across a wall.

5. Arrange your bathroom. Being that you probably start your day in the bathroom, your daily routine will run more smoothly once this part of your home is organized. This small space can be decorated easily and leave you with a sense of accomplishment. Start with a great floor mat, some pretty towels and finish off with a fabulous shower curtain.

6. Unpack your favorite pieces and place them around your home. there are so many ways to display family photos, using them as decor is not only inexpensive, but it helps create that "homey" feel. Fill up the little corners of all the nooks and shelves in your home. Decorative vases and books are perfect for styling shelves throughout your space.

7. An accessory like a throw blanket is a great way to adjust to seasonal design without fully committing. You can also put your blankets on display; this not only makes the blankets more accessible, but they also add decor to your living room area. If you are feeling creative, utilize a ladder to act as your blanket vessel.

8. Odds are you won't have time to paint your entire home, so choose an accent wall to spruce up your space. If you are feeling artsy, add some stripes. Once you are settled and start to pain the remainder of the house, try using a dark and dramatic color. Dark colors such as charcoal grey or chocolate brown make the living space much more cozy and welcoming. Just be sure to add pops of metallic and white to keep it from feeling too heavy.

9. Fresh flowers and candles are great ways to establish a friendly and warm environment...not to mention, they are great ways to disguise that fresh paint smell!
