What are Rictheli Souza's top techniques for creating cozy home environments?

Hi there! I’m Rictheli Souza. I’m all about making home feel cozy, comfortable, and lived-in, not staged. Here are some of my top go‑to techniques:

• Start with comfortable, practical furniture – pieces you can actually lounge on, like a soft sofa that’s easy to assemble and has a washable cover (a lifesaver for families and pets).
• Layer textures: throws, pillows, rugs, and curtains instantly add warmth and softness.
• Keep a calm, cohesive color palette, then add a few accent pieces for personality.
• Mix function and style in every corner: workspaces that are ergonomic but still inviting, with good lighting and a few decor touches.

What room in your home are you trying to make cozier right now?
