What's making your home less cozy? I asked interior designers, and they agree that these 11 design choices are negatively impacting your interiors

A living room with two yellow accent chairs, a pink couch with lots of pillows, two large windows with red shades, and lots of decor on the coffee table and throughout the room.

Imagine this – you come home after a long day, and rather than feeling at ease when you walk through your front door, you feel uncomfortable, stiff, and even a bit anxious. You wonder: what's making my home less cozy? I'll tell you – it's your design choices.

You see, every design choice makes an impact on a room. Sure, these choices alter how the room looks, but they also can effect how it feels, and ultimately, how you feel in that space. Choose the wrong decor, the wrong lighting, or the wrong layout, and the rooms in your home run the risk of feeling uninviting and certainly not cozy.
