If it is winter, then utilize the warm lighting in your cozy blankets.     

2. The Power of Brightness:

Natural light makes your home look better always, so make use of natural light by opening the curtains and blinds. Make sure you wash your windows quite often for better sunlight penetration.

3. Creating a warm atmosphere:

Minor repairs often result in a major impact, small fixes like leaky faucet repair, or adjusting a squeaky door can create a well-maintained impression.
