Looking to add more coziness to your home's interior? These are my go-to products and devices.
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
I take my home very seriously, and since moving into our house three years ago, I have spent every waking minute curating it into the cozy yet stylish space of my dreams. And, with my tech background, I know all the right gadgets to help create that.
Whether you are sick of using "the big light" or want more functionality in your home's design, I've rounded up all the gadgets I've used and/or recommend to add ambiance and coziness — plus, they are all on sale for Memorial Day.
The best lighting upgrade I've done in my house is switching out almost all the cool-blue LED bulbs for GE Cync color-changing light bulbs. They connect to your home via Wi-Fi, and you can control the colors and brightness via Bluetooth using the Cync app.
