If you are renting for the first time or just looking to adding some cute décor to change the mood in your current space, we have listed 10 cozy décor items for your apartment that will make a home feel more like home.
Here are 10 Cozy Essentials for Your Apartment!
1. Pillows
Decorative throw pillows can be used to coordinate colors, make your space more inviting, and serve as the back, neck, or even head support. Opt for cozy, soft and plump pillows like these, and you might have the softest pillows you’ve ever felt.
The pillows featured here are so beautiful and perfect for a bright cozy boho vibe. Make your guests and friends more comfortable with these!
2. Fuzzy Warm Blankets
If you are like me when I’m at home, I always have a blanket or snuggly pillow because no matter what season, I’m always freezing. Blankets not only provide warmth and comfort but can also act as décor to make a couch or chair less boring! This fuzzy warm blanket by Chanasya comes in different sizes and colors so you can select the perfect style for your space.
3. Comfy Rug
Vinyl, laminate, tile, hardwood, carpet – no matter what type of flooring you have rugs are essential to adding extra comfort to your abode. People often think about decorating walls but your floors need love too! Area rugs add an eye-catching color to your room while making it homier. This Boho rug is soft, bright, and looks good in any living room.
4. Cute Plants
Plants can create a cozier space by reducing stress and maintaining cleaner air quality in the apartment. According to NBC News, “greenery and nature help us feel calmer and relaxed which can help boost your mood and make you feel happy.” (1)
Never cared for plants before? No problem! Here are a couple of easier to care for options. When worst comes to worse, you can always get a fake plant that will still have similar benefits to you.
Plants:
- Snake plant
- Dracaena
- Zz Plant
- Aloe Vera
- Pothos
5. Warm Lighting
This is an absolute must when it comes to creating a homier space. These are one item that is not touched lightly in the hygge community! This can be created by lamps with warm bulbs, string lights, and salt lamps. Himalayan salt lamps have lots of health benefits as well like purifying the air with their negative ions of energy which is great for a positive space. You want to make sure to get a good quality one like this one so you can reap all of their benefits.
6. Candles
Candles are another lighting feature that is essential for cozy apartment living. Try getting one with a warm tobacco sweet scent or a vanilla one. I have noted two below that are my absolute favorite and help me to relax in the evenings. There are also decorative ones here that will make space look stunning and comfy.
7. Oil Diffuser
This is a similar one to what I have and it not only makes the room smell great, but it also purifies the air and creates steam making your room extra snug. Essential oil diffusers also have nice colors and sound to it adding to the ambiance. Try these essential oils to make it smell comforting and relaxing.
8.Wall Art
Wall art can really brighten up a room and make it look more spacious and comfortable. You can find plenty of wall art that is inexpensive but still looks elegant! You can also opt for mirrors, hanging baskets, and cool clocks to make the space feel more established. Here is a cute and fun piece of wall art that will strike conversation while looking great in any room.

9. Floor Pillows
Depending on how big your apartment is, you may want to invest in some cute and fluffy floor pillows! They add additional seating that can be tucked away in the coffee table making a more functional space. These are great for watching a movie while eating pad thai in your living room! These ones are not only functional, but they are also a great price and are a cute addition.
10. Unique Decor Items
Adding unique and meaningful décor items will add your personality or even sometimes experiences into the home. Love animals? Add some cute animal figurines to your nightstand or TV stand.
Accents are a fun way to add elements to your apartment rooms. Get something that will add warmth and joy to your living room like the ones mentioned below. These kinds of items are great for living room coffee tables and other areas like the kitchen. This is completely optional but will add more dimension, and meaning to the room. If you have family heirlooms this would be a great time to use them.
- Elephant Plant Holder
- Succulents
- Décor tabletop tray
- Decorative signs
- Floating shelves
- Decorative book ends with nice books
Making your apartment cozy doesn’t have to be expensive or hard! Even if you just implement a couple of these items around your house, you will notice a huge difference in how you feel as well as the atmosphere around you.
