Lighting
This is super important when thinking about how your home looks and trying to get a comfortable and welcoming look. Half of the cosy feeling is in how your home looks, and lighting can completely change a room. Adding some lamps to your room can make it look relaxed, and makes you want to curl up with a book on the sofa. Candles, or an open fire, can have much the same effect as well. There is not only something romantic about candles, but they make a room feel relaxed and give it a great atmosphere. Stark lighting can look unwelcoming and can make you very alert when all you want to do is chill out in the evenings. Try out some lightning, or move around your current lighting, to get the desired cosy effect you want.

Not only will your home be nice and warm from your solar panels, but they can make you a bit of money on the side as well.
