Fireplaces
If your fireplace is a non-working or faux one, it’s not a problem – just put some firewood covered with string lights inside, and voila – you have an effect of a working fireplace, and it means instant coziness. You can also try candles+string lights, or only string lights put inside to create a look that you want.

Windows
If you have sheer curtains, add string lights to them – this way you’ll accent the window and views, and will create a cozy mood. It will also work for glazed walls – hang curtains and add lights to them, and you’ll get a very glam space. If you don’t have curtains, no problem: just attach the lights over the window and you’ll highlight it.
