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.

Long-lasting colour and elegance

Orchids, known for their resilience, are ideal roommates during the winter season. Their longevity ensures that your efforts to style them won’t go unnoticed and provides a lasting boost of colour and elegance.

 

 

Festive vibes

When choosing orchids to suit winter and the festive season, consider varieties with rich, deep hues such as burgundy, deep purple and brown. These colours not only suit the festive spirit but also add warmth to your interiors. Choose orchid arrangements that evoke a cosy atmosphere and fit perfectly with current plant trends.

To capitalise on the other interior design trends, you can choose minimalist pots or rustic pottery to put your orchids in. By mixing and matching different orchid varieties in one arrangement, you create an eye-catcher that suits the style that is currently trendy.

 

 

Care tips

To make sure your orchids stay beautiful for a long time, take good care of them. Here are some tips:

• Proper lighting: orchids like plenty of light, without direct sunlight. As the winter months are darker, it is wise to put them closer to a window.
• Sufficient water: avoid overwatering; orchids generally prefer a weekly watering schedule. You can tell by the roots whether orchids need water. Grey roots mean they need water, green roots mean they have enough water.
• Ideal temperature: orchids like temperatures between 15-24°C. Protect them from draughts and sudden temperature changes.

 

 

With these care tips and styling suggestions, you can transform your interior into a winter oasis, with orchids as the centrepiece of elegance and natural beauty. Enjoy the magic of winter in your home with these timeless long bloomers.
