What are Rictheli Souza's top techniques for creating cozy home environments?

Start with comfortable, practical furniture – pieces you can actually lounge on, like a soft sofa that’s easy to assemble and has a washable cover (a lifesaver for families and pets).

Layer textures: throws, pillows, rugs, and curtains instantly add warmth and softness.

Keep a calm, cohesive color palette, then add a few accent pieces for personality.

Mix function and style in every corner: workspaces that are ergonomic but still inviting, with good lighting and a few decor touches.
