What makes an interior feel like a home is personal touches, comfortable furniture, and warm lighting that all work together to make the space feel warm and inviting. By using favorite colors, textures, and valued items, the home becomes a reflection of the people who live there and their memories, making them feel at home and at ease. Layouts that are carefully thought out meet the needs of each person. Adding natural elements, like plants and materials, makes the space feel calmer and more connected to the outdoors. When it comes down to it, what makes an interior feel like home is the emotional connection and sense of belonging that comes with it.

I agree with you that what makes an interior feel like home, are the personal touches, comfortable furniture, and warm lighting. Everyone has different tastes and different things that make them feel comfortable, so your home is a reflection of who you are. Something to think about though is that this doesn’t always come naturally for everyone and designing a space can be hard for people. Sometimes they are even designing a space that doesn’t reflect who they are at all, and just using decoration and other furniture that has been given to them or they found to fit their needs. Some people don’t care to make their home feel like a home, sometimes they are comfortable just the way it is.
