In Cozy Small Spaces magazine, we share simple strategies for creating a warm, welcoming environment regardless of how much space you have or what your design aesthetic is. We highlight real-life examples of rooms and homes—across a wide range of styles—that are cozy, comfortable, and relatable, and we give homeowners the opportunity to share personal stories of how they made the most of their space. Beautiful photography and lesson call-outs give readers takeaway ideas they can incorporate in their own homes.
