It can take
years of trying to achieve an aesthetic ideal that accommodates all needs of a
single person. I have gathered quite a fine assortment of grand and gorgeous
room designs over the years. Still, I seem to be more attracted to tiny, comfy
and warm spaces of late. I just guess that the practical dimension reached out
to me a bit more, since homes are not just pretty display for home decoration
magazines.
A genuinely
comfy home with all the necessary elements that appeals to the visitors is a
splendid fit as well. Consequently, my objectives have shifted a bit in the
cozy direction. If you’re also interested in homey and warm look, here are some
suggestion on how to achieve it.
Seek items you can curl up in
There’s
frequently somewhat of a divide between the items that are pretty to gaze at
and the items that are pretty to sit on. In an ideal situation, the best
two-seat would balance out these two. However, if coziness is what you’re truly
after, you have to examine the item’s potential for comfiness when you’re
buying a new piece of sitting furniture.
Question: Can
you see yourself on this two-seat, curled up on a lazy long weekend, with your
whole body hugged by the cushions while you’re sipping your tea and reading a
book? Your answer significantly affects whether the search stops here.
Mix and match
An old
furnishing saying advises us to avoid buying the whole set of furniture from
one store or our personal abode will look like the store we bought it from. New
and packed, furniture stores can be fun but not entirely homelike.
To evade the
show-room layout, pair up the elements pertaining to various styles. Upon
thinking about the whole setting, ponder less about matching and instead go
with your cozy-proof gut. Putting different items together instils character
and with it, some visual texture. This will efficiently transform any interior
into a delightful nook.
Introduce the items you’d want to feel
Don’t neglect
the power of texture when purchasing objects for your homey interior. A veteran
leather chair, comfyScandinavian sofas with lovely paddings, fluffy
pillows, vintage wooden table, hand-made mats - these are all excellent
candidates. What separates them from the sea of other pieces is unique texture
and inviting properties that introduce warmth and soothing atmosphere.
Employ warm tints
Until I got
involved in pro level house improvements and started reading about it
industriously, I was not thinking much about the mood certain hues can
establish. Colder shades aid in making interiors appear bigger, boosting the
apparent manoeuvring space. Warm tints act in the opposite direction and make
the area seem cozier and more tucked in. Bear in mind that even the black and
white variants have a certain undertone that is either on the warm or
cool side.
The power of illumination
People often
neglect one of the most potent agents that sets the ambience effectively:
illumination. I may frequently get swayed by a beautiful picture from a
magazine, only to stop and realise something interesting. It’s not the
furniture that blew me away, it’s the specific lighting. What’s essential for a
sitting room is that it features a smart mixture of light sources. The shiny,
far-reaching ones are for group gatherings, while modest dimmers are optimal
for private night-ins.
To lower the
illumination source to your level, opt for clip-on lamps and smaller table
apertures. Replace the bulbs giving off cool light for theones with warm emanation. It’s cheap and easy with instant homey effect.
Beloved objects
Fill out your
house with the items that remind you of the love filled situationsand your
dearest and closest people. This could be a mock book collection, grandma’s
antique phone, the plates of your first ride, and the list goes on. When you’re
at home, you should be able to feel that you truly belong there.
The whole idea of coziness is not about fancy
items, it’s about picking the elements carefully. Add love, colour, texture and
light to your interior and the results won’t fail you.
