"Sarikhani's job is to make interior spaces feel like someone could live there, but the spaces she designs also have to feel homey for those still occupying the space. So whether you're staging your home for a sale, or simply looking for ways to make your own home extra cozy, here are Sarikhani's priceless pieces of advice on how to transform any living space. And if you have all of these things on hand, you might not even need to spend any money at all."
"Are your couch, throw pillows, ottoman, rug, and living room blankets all the same material? Switch it up a little - layering textures is a key technique Sarikhani uses to make spaces feel both cozy and luxurious. By combining materials like velvet, leather, knits, and wool, she explains, you can create depth and visual interest. You don't need to overhaul your space totally, but by swapping out two couch pillows with ones made of a contrasting material (like adding corduroy pillows to your linen couch) and a chunky knit blanket, you've already created a totally different couch space."
Layer different textures to add depth and warmth by combining materials such as velvet, leather, knits, and wool. Small swaps—like replacing two couch pillows with contrasting materials and adding a chunky knit blanket—can dramatically change a seating area without major expense. Favor neutral tones with warm undertones, such as taupe, beige, and terracotta, to create a welcoming environment. Use strategic pops of color rather than overwhelming hues. Prioritize livability while staging so spaces feel homey for occupants and appealing to potential buyers, allowing budget-friendly touches to achieve a cozy, marketable look.
