Before building, buying or remodeling, ask yourself what it takes to get that "at home" feeling. It's not just how a house looks that's important, but how you feel living in it day to day. Here are some ideas on how to make your house more homey.BIGGER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER
Lofty ceilings can be dazzling, but daunting. It may be wiser to design flat ceilings at 9 or 10 feet high or tame a too-high cathedral ceiling by installing exposed, rafter-height beams of rough-hewn timber. Smaller rooms create feelings of intimacy, warmth and safety.
FURNITURE THAT FITS PEOPLE
One measurement of a homey room is comfortable furniture — especially sofas and chairs. Keep in mind that people do not just sit on them. They also sit in them, curl up in them and stretch out in them.
MATERIAL MATTERS
Different interior materials evoke different emotional responses. It's not just the type of materials you use, but how much you use and in what combinations.
TELLTALE HEART
What really makes a home special are heirlooms, collections and framed family photographs exhibited where they can be appreciated every day.

What really makes a house a home is love - even if the house is occupied by one single person, if they have a welcoming and loving attitude, the house feels homey.
Of course, for me there's one more thing. There has to be a dog or two.
But I do agree with you - all those decorating factors play a big part. Color is another one - to add warmth and emotion.
