Is your home as comfy as you think? After a long and difficult day in our places of work, ideally, we would like to come home, relax, and put our feet up. But it’s not always like this, sometimes we live in rented accommodation, and so we can’t make our home as luxurious or relaxing as we would like, but there are some simple ways and changes you can introduce to make your life that little bit more comforting in your home.
Changing The Mattress
This can have a big effect on how you sleep. The wrong mattress can increase your allergies, disrupt your sleep, and just be plain uncomfortable if you have hard lumps across the bed. So by getting a new mattress, you would be very surprised as to how much it will impact your sleep. You may very well wake up feeling more refreshed. Have a look at https://www.mattress-guides.net/best-mattress-guides/ to give you some inspiration if you don’t know where to begin, but they say you should change your mattress approximately every 10 years, so count them!
Get Some Plants
A great idea if you are in a rental property, not only are plants great to look at, but there are also very good for you. For anyone that didn’t pay attention in science class, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and breathe out oxygen, therefore purifying your room. So bye oxygenating your room, you will feel a lot better. It could help you decrease your blood pressure, prevent allergies, or just relax you.
Throw Throws Over Everything!
In winter, there is nothing more inviting than a throw draped over a couch. Especially ones made of thicker material, it is very warm and comforting when you can see horrible weather through the windows. You can put some throws over a couch, put on your favorite PJs and slippers, and relax with a nice warming cup of tea and stare at the rain outside. Bliss!
Common Scents!
If you get a few scented candles and keep them lit for a few hours at a time, it creates this lovely undercurrent of aroma that can mask almost any dodgy smell. If you pick the right sense, you will feel instantly relaxed. Go for cinnamon or cranberry, or any winterberry candles and they will not only provide a wonderful smell, but they add a lovely atmosphere to a darkened room.

Install A Dimmer Switch
If you have spent a long day working, the last thing you want is harsh lighting making you squint at everything, finding ways to brighten up your home is all well and good, but sometimes we need a bit of calm lighting. So install a dimmer switch so you can control the light according to your own mood.
