- Pile in those comfy throw pillows & put pieces you can curl up in.
What’s cosier than a huge pile of fluffy pillows? Mix and match and never be afraid to add too many of them. The more the better as this creates a super-comfy look. A couch that’s not only lovely to look at but even more if it’s inviting to sit on is always a good idea. Invest in pieces which will not only make your room/condo/apartment extra cosy but will encourage the tenants as well as their guests to relax. Imagine a couch where you could picture someone sinking into its comfy throw pillows while engrossed in a good book or his mobile phone while sipping his cup of favourite coffee or tea. Look and feel good with your space by having the comfiest couch or sofa that will make you doze off or lounge in hours. It really works!
- Decorate by having a mix and match pieces.
Add character and cosiness to your living spaces by mixing and matching furniture pieces from different styles and angles. Nothing will look more boring than a living room or bedroom that appears to have been copies of display in the furniture store or magazines. Show your creativity and push those interior design inclinations. Mixing prints, colours and patterns certainly add visual interest. Use your best judgment and do your own styling based on instincts. You may want to ask for friends’ confirmation on the final output. Real work begins!
- Surround your room with well-loved stuff that brings joy and warmth.
A warm and cosy room should have things you love and cherish. They should spark a certain amount of joy and good vibes. Add some collection of rocks, pebbles, seashells or any cute natural stuff. Whether you love books, framed photos, flowers or plates – fill the room that reminds you of happy thoughts. Combine them together then finalize by adding the comfy throw pillows and fluffy rugs. Surrounding your space with the things you love is what cosiness is all about. Do you know that draping shawls over chairs or couches can soften the overall look and feel more welcoming? A cosy room will always make you feel happy and relaxed.
- Add colours that will make a difference.
Colours can either make or break the vibe of any living space like your bedroom. Warm colours like shades of yellows, oranges and browns achieve cosier spaces. Neutral colour palettes leave a calming effect to any bedroom. Colours do not make spaces cold and boring. Add texture, accents, styles and patterns to make things livelier and more exciting. Or maybe you can use one colour in different hues, say blue for bedroom for men – this variety of tones can give your room an upgraded, cosier look. For ladies’ bedrooms – sprinkle in floral accents (big or small) that bring soft, feminine feel to the bedroom. Or maybe you can also do an all-white room? As most will tell you this is stale and lifeless – many believe an all-white room is a relaxing one that reminds them of a nice hotel or spa. Plus – the “feels of sleeping in clouds” is what you can achieve. See the difference.
- Consider well-thought-out lighting.
The right lighting can make all the difference in your room. Never underestimate this. You may put a couple of lamps with warm-toned LED lights on either side of your bed to provide enough lighting. Skip the harsh glare from overhead lights. Even if it can get really dark too much earlier in some evenings – the presence of the seemingly candle-lit glows from the lamps will prevent you from dozing off. This warm effect also makes the room cosier and more intimate. What do you think?
