It’s winter! And that means we’re spending more time indoors. So, it’s the perfect time to give the living room a little makeover to make it warm and cosy. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. Just add a few items to your decor to make your home feel welcoming. Curious? Read on for our cosy interior tips!

A warm and cosy interior

 

Choose the right lighting

Good lighting is not only functional but also essential for creating atmosphere. Opt for multiple smaller light sources rather than a single large lamp, as they create a more intimate ambience. And don’t forget candles—candlelight adds a cosy feel and literally warms the room as well. Try placing a small lamp in the corner, a few candleholders on a cabinet, and some decorative candles on the coffee table.

 

 

Never too many cushions and throws

Throws are perfect for creating warmth! Simply placing them around—along with lots of cushions—gives an instantly cosy look. Not to mention how snug it is to actually curl up under them. Choose throws and cushions in rich materials like velvet, corduroy, or teddy fabric, and go for warm winter colours. Drape them over the arm of the sofa or a large lounge chair for that extra cosy effect.

Opt for curved shapes

Did you know that the shapes of the items in your home have a big impact on the overall feel? Rounded, organic shapes give a minimalist interior a softer, warmer appearance. An interior with only rectangular items can often look strict and overly structured. By adding a few round elements, you’ll quickly create a cosy vibe. Think of round tealight holders, a circular pouffe, or wall decor with curved designs like a round mirror.

 

 

Bring nature indoors

Since we’re spending more time indoors in winter, bring a touch of nature inside. Everyone knows a walk in nature is calming, so why not create that effect at home? Add a few indoor plants, like orchids in wintery colours, to enjoy a calming, natural atmosphere indoors.
