makes oneself at home
Relaxes without ceremony
To make oneself at home is to behave in a relaxed, comfortable way as if in one's own dwelling.
It's often an invitation from a host: Make yourself at home—there's food in the fridge.
The phrase can also describe someone settling in comfortably without invitation, sometimes with a note of presumption: He just walked in and made himself at home.
