The Coziest Item to Add to Your Kitchen

Want to make your kitchen feel cozy in minutes? Try this idea of adding a small lamp on your kitchen counter to create soft and cozy light for the evening hours.

I love all things house and home related, especially when they are pretty, comfortable and cozy.

With the arrival of cold weather season, I have been seeking out how to make my house feel cozier.

I successfully “cozied up” the living room lighting, but the overhead lighting in the kitchen, even with candlelight wasn’t feeling cozy enough for me.

I tried to think of ways to up the “cozy factor” of the kitchen since I spend so much time in it. A glass of wine and candlelight always help, but still not enough.

How Can You Make Your Kitchen Feel Cozy?

I have always wanted to add a small lamp to the kitchen counter as it is such a simple element to add. I never did it before as I thought there wouldn’t be enough room since I don’t have a lot of counter space to begin with.

Instead of letting space be an issue to adding a lamp to the kitchen counter, I figured why not try it.

So I took one of the small lamps that use to be in my foyer and placed it on the kitchen counter. It is a little too big, but I just wanted to get the idea.

I waited until it got dark and turned it on…. and…. I loved it! The warm, soft glow from the lamp made the usually cold feeling kitchen feel warm and homey.

I did a little happy dance!

I had it on the counter with a 60-watt bulb for a few days and really like how something that required only seconds to do could make me so happy.

The electrical cord is clear which is a plus. I have it running behind a few items on the counter and then into an outlet on the backsplash.

The lamp is a little too big in proportion the counter and cabinets, so I went in search of a smaller one and found one online.

Here is the lamp I found that is more in scale and better styling for my kitchen counter. I have a 25 watt light bulb in it

With the lamp in the kitchen, now both the living room and kitchen feel warm and cozy when it gets dark by 5:30 every night.
