Electric vehicle charging ports, spa-like bathrooms, and homes with climate-resilient touches are poised to be big. However, one of the biggest trends is also the easiest to bring into your space.Related Story"Cozy homes are having a moment," says Amanda Pendleton, Zillows home trends expert. "In todays high-stress, uncertain world, people are looking for warmth and comfort at home." In fact, Zillow noticed that listings that mention "cozy" have increased by 35 percent since last year. But while some buyers are looking for the intimacy and comfort of a smaller space, Pendleton insists that coziness is a feeling, not a look. "Think about how you can engage all your senses in a space," she recommends. "Think about adding warm scents to your space through a diffuser or scented candles." Related StoryPendleton recommends incorporating textured walls, rich paint colors, and old-school accessories. "Swap out shiny new fixtures for vintage ones, replace contemporary lamp shades with pleated and patterned ones, comb online sources for quilts and vintage textile pillows," she adds. Pendleton also points out that, per the trend report, "vintage" listings increase by nine percent. However, if your idea of a cozy night at home includes curling up with a book, you're in luck: Zillow found home libraries are up 22 percent. A designated reading room might be the dream, but Pendleton says you can easily work with what you have."If you dont have space for a home library, you can still channel the bibliophilic design trend by decorating with books," she says. "Stack them high on coffee tables, display them on open shelving, or create a faux library with bookshelf wallpaper."Regardless of how you choose to bring a dash of coziness to your home, here's your permission to kick back, relax, and enjoy the great indoors.
