Make a house a home

(Anonymous) 2026-02-01 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
For a house to really feel cozy and like a home for me it has to have plants and books.

My friend says they need art on the walls.

What do you like to have that makes a house feel like a home? (Outside of pets and people.)

Books and bookshelves on lots of walls. Always lived in homes that were libraries.

Cat trees, cat toys, cat things.

Blankets, pillows, cushions, throws, plushies, etc. And lots of color.

Good lighting, by which I mean WARM lighting and several light sources, none of that big cold light on the ceiling as a main source nonsense.

Art, cushy/comfortable furniture, lots of things to read.

The "layers of design" things: window treatments, area rugs, throw pillows. I know some people like the sleek, modern hotel vibe, but that feels like a sleek, modern hotel to me and not a home.

I agree about the books and art, also music and a good video library.
(Unfortunately every plant I've ever had died on me so I don't have them in my home anymore except for the occasional bunch of cut flowers.)

I can't have plants anymore because my roommate has cats and she is really worried about them eating them, but I can't live in a house without plants so I've taken to buying really nice fake ones. I've been surprised at the quality! They really look like real plants and while not the same, fills a bit of that space for me.

yeah, I love cats but you have to watch out because they will sometimes eat stuff they shouldn't, just like little kids, haha

My mom loves flowers. But she also does these really beautiful fake flower arrangements that look really real and really good. Maybe try that?

My belongings ranging from furniture to pictures and knickknacks, window treatments, and little unique quirks that are the result of us problem solving about the space. Like the doggie doorbell at the back door since we can’t hear our dog approach the door on either side and he will just stand there forever waiting for someone to open the door for him. And the remote operated light switches at either end of the stairs for the lamp on the landing since there is no light there and we didn’t want to spend $6000 having a new circuit added and the stairway wired.

Colorful walls, but if the walls can't be painted, LOTS of art on the walls. I have very saturated, teal walls in my bedroom, and I actually don't have any art on my bedroom walls. I did, though, when I was stuck in an apartment that could only have cream walls.

I'm also very much on the Lots of Lamps, No Big Lights team.

Books, plants, cats, dogs, warm sunlight so lots of windows and my people makes a home. I have knickknacks and craft supplies scattered around, too, but the first list is the most important.
