For some of us, the home is little more than a roof to take cover under during the night and then to go back to being out and about the next day. For others, it is instead a refuge where you can spend much more time, sometimes even preferred to attending social occasions. When you add up all the time spent at home - alone or in company - the need to equip yourself with a series of accessories that make the home even more is an attractive prospect (and wish).

And this "stay-at-home" spirit is often also what drives one to chose one furnishing solution rather than some other. Discover below some solutions designed to make the home and even more pleasant cocoon.

Sometimes there is nothing as fulfilling as staying in bed a little longer or taking refuge in it to read a good book, watch a good movie or a TV series. The bed becomes a space isolated from the world, and perhaps this nest can be enhanced with the use of a canopy: not necessarily the traditional heavy type, but just a simple, softly draped curtain!

Don't write off using strings of LED lights: they always give a truly magical look to a room and can be used in a myriad of ways. They can decorate an entire wall or just frame it. They can be combined with flowers and artificial plants, or run along the bed frame or used to light up photos hanging on the wall ... the possibilities are endless.

There is something eternally fascinating about the moon, which changes shape and luminosity during its various phases: wouldn't it be nice to celebrate this with themed decorations? A decoration like this will enhance the soft and magical atmosphere of any room.

And speaking of atmospheres, this is often also enhanced with the presence of scented candles. It is worth getting an electric lighter, perhaps with a cute design, so as to avoid unnecessary smoke and odors from using matches.

The other place of relaxation par excellence is the bathroom, especially if you can forget about the world for a while in a nice tub of warm, soapy water. And having a special tray to keep everything you need close to hand is very useful!

And why not double your comfort with a bathtub cushion? You will never get out of the tub!

For those who love to pamper themselves with their favorite hot drink, it's worth considering buying an electric cup warmer to place on your desk or in the living room!

And in addition to the myriad of favorite cups that crowd cupboards, why not also keep a few cups with lids for cold drinks? It is the best adaptation of the paper ones that are thrown out!

If you have a free corner in the home, it would be nice to use this as a reading corner. And round armchairs seem perfect for these spaces.

Otherwise, try something halfway between a sofa and a bed: the daybed, as it is called in English.

Or try out a hanging armchair which will cradle you gently!

And then, you can add blankets, pillows, and more: in short, there is always a good excuse to get a little something to enhance your home!
