Hello, my name is Emma and I am the author of The Cozy Edit. I started this little corner of the internet because I wanted decorating to feel accessible, not scary. I went from gazing at the blank walls of my first apartment to finding out how to make a room feel different with simple, inexpensive solutions (a throw, a lamp). The Cozy Edit is here to share those easy, real-life tips so that anyone can make their home warm and personal, no design degree necessary.

Cozy Makeovers (What we share)

The Cozy Edit is a how-to, step-by-step project, and practical advice book on apartments, rentals, and family homes. I focus on what actually works in the real world: how to style on a small budget, how to layer textures to create instant warmth, and how to do DIY projects without expensive tools or skills. It does not matter whether you have a studio, a spare room, or a rented house, the idea is the same, make spaces feel welcoming and uniquely yours.

My Vision (Why I do it)

It is a one person passion project powered by coffee in the morning and late night brainstorming, and a love of all things cozy. No nonsense here, just plain old motivation and real advice you can use. Check back regularly to read new blog posts, seasonal ideas and the occasional DIY challenge to keep your creativity buzzing.
