Cosy is…

snuggling up on the sofa after a long day with a cuppa and a good book, wrinkled bed sheets and cuddly quilts, moody cafes that beckon you to sit and watch the world go by, artfully decorated rooms that engulf you in a warm inviting hug

If you love old houses, can’t walk past an antique store, get giddy over a thrift find, and prefer colourful interiors with a charming lived-in vibe – welcome!

Hiya!

I’m Dom, the interiors and homeware-obsessed gal behind the lens. I created The Cosy Notes to revel in and share my love for come hither spaces that give you those warm and cosy feels and share snippets of coastal living in Snells Beach, New Zealand.

I believe that home goes beyond design trends; it’s a reflection of all the things we love, our sanctuary in a chaotic world where we can be free to express ourselves and re-energise after a long day.

Here, you’ll find home styling, interior makeover ideas to make your space look and feel more inviting, and stories on characterful places in picturesque locales.

I hope my little corner of the internet becomes a treasure trove of inspiration you can delve into for your next home project.

Brew a cuppa, have a seat and scroll awhile!
