Things for home comfort. How to create coziness in a house or apartment: we create comfort and home warmth

Recipes cozy home by our regular contributor Anna Mulan

I recently moved to new apartment... But she did not experience the expected joy from the move. I could sit in my favorite Starbucks until the night: work, relax and be inspired. It was more comfortable there than at home. When I felt that I was already 80% coffee, I realized that it was time to return home.

I wondered why it doesn't feel like it? Why is it cozier in a noisy coffee shop? And in general, what little things make a house a home?And here are the recipes for a cozy home that cannot be exchanged for a cafe. Verified by personal experience.

Well, I decided on a change in the house. But where do you start? Read a smart book, magazine, watch design tutorials on the Internet, or maybe hire a designer? But this would not make the apartment more comfortable, because the concept “ cosiness ”Everyone has their own. This is something personal.

I started with a simple one - with the questions: “What kind of atmosphere in the house do I need at all? What feelings would I like to experience in each of the rooms? "

Take your time to throw out the old one and buy new furniture... The apartment will not become more comfortable. Ask the question: what do YOU want? And for each room, choose at least three symbol words that describe the atmosphere you want to create.

A very cool book on this topic "". Makes it clear that before you start global changes in the house - first you need to understand yourself.

My comfort was hampered by things that I have not been using for a long time, but it is a pity to throw it away (“this is memory”). I'm sure everyone has faced this problem (our balconies are a temple to the memory of unnecessary items).Trash accumulates and gathers dust for years. And old, already unnecessary, memories make it difficult to enjoy the present. By the way, on the topic of unnecessary things and order in the house, we have a separate

Do not be afraid to throw away jars, bottles, sachets in bags, boxes - what you have not used for a long time. Yes, these things were once needed, but the time has come for something really important and new.

Recently I traveled to Sweden and noticed one detail: in each apartment there was a paper star-lamp on the windowsill. And the rooms and balconies were decorated with lights. The atmosphere reached me even on the street home comfort and warmth.Then I thought: “This is cool! And only a few lights ”. MWe treat the light in the house superficially: we hung up a chandelier and, at best, put a floor lamp. And light is a powerful cozier that creates an atmosphere.

Highlight each area in the room with light, do not allow dark corners. Place a floor lamp by the armchair in which you like to read, hang a sconce over your favorite painting or photo, do not forget about a table lamp and a chandelier with soft light.And, of course, candles are a warm and lively light.

Comfort's best friend is a dimmer: fit it to all light sources for the right atmosphere.

Sofa - interesting thing... He is like a gray cardinal: it does not seem to be the basis of the interior, but it affects everything that is in the room.The sofa carries a great emotional load - it is a place where you can relax and unwind, chat with family and friends, wrapped in a blanket and watch TV with your soul mate. Take his choice seriously.

“Well, I'll buy some cheap one for the first time,” I mistakenly thought. Mine was uncomfortable and tough, and besides, it quickly broke down. I had to go in search of quality and new in order to make the apartment comfortable.

Quality is expressed in beauty and convenience. When choosing, look at the neatness of the seams, the coating, and most importantly, the filler. The ideal filling is down with a thin layer of foam rubber.

A moment of theory: LPPU or latex polyurethane foam - perfect solution... Unlike simple foam rubber, in which bubbles burst under load (this causes the coating to bend and lose its shape), latex does not suffer from exploitation, but returns each time to its original position. You can check this by sitting on the couch. See how quickly it gets back in shape. One more the right way- ask a consultant or ask to look and touch the layer.

Do not skimp on a decent sofa - this is your comfort. We even have a whole article about this: "How to choose a good sofa?" And how to make it more comfortable - see below.

Plaid often travels from room to room on my shoulders. When I want warmth, I take it out of the bowels of the closet. But he can warm not only people, but also give warmth to the whole room.

The blankets thrown over the back of the chair or the armrest of the sofa seem to hint that they live in the room, use it. Cashmere, wool, cotton, plaid or striped. With them, any interior will be more homely and lively.

And the Pillows! To be honest, I only had one. She lay on the bed, covered with a blanket, and performed one function - transferred to the world of dreams.Pillows can update and even change the interior. Place one on the armchair and several on the couch, and the room will look new!

But not everything is so simple. In addition to beauty, convenience is also important here. If family members, friends, guests, sitting down, push aside or remove pillows, then there is no question of any comfort. No matter how chic the pillow would be, first of all it should invite you to sit down.

Here are a couple of life hacks:

pay attention to down pillows - they are the softest;

if you are in doubt about the size of the pillow - make a big error;

large square sofas ( 35-50 cm) , rectangular for armchairs (30x40 or 40x65);

the color of the pillow must match at least three things in the interior (curtains, carpet, wallpaper, etc.)

Here is the formula for comforting a sofa = a blanket on the back or armrest + 2 identical pillows in the corners + a rectangular pillow in the center. (Read more about the number, place and size of pillows in ours)

Many useful tips for soft cozies is in the book Home Sweet Home. I read it in one evening and was inspired to buy new pillows!

The first thing people notice when entering a house is its aroma. It stays in memory and makes the first impression. It is unlikely to be cozy in an apartment with the smell of dampness or mold.

This does not mean that you need to buy up a bunch of flavors and spray where it smells unpleasant. The bottom line is that you should create a basic scent that is always in the apartment - you feel it as soon as you walk home from the street.

You can use the following:

aroma mixture

Convenient to use sachets. Sachets are small pads or bags filled with natural materials: petals, twigs, herbs, spices.

Such bags are placed throughout the apartment, and always in the hallway, so that a pleasant aroma is met after a hard day at work.

aroma candles

Depending on the season or our mood, we can change the smells of the house using aroma candles. They liven up any room and are appropriate for almost everything except dining table- there is a place for the smell of delicious food.

Be careful. From candles made of cheap and low-quality materials, you will not get relaxation, but a headache. Choose from natural soy or coconut wax.

Have you noticed how the room transforms when it is beautiful bouquet? Somehow immediately fresh, joyful, comfortable. But such transformations in the interior for most happen on holidays, when flowers as a gift migrate into the house.

I love fresh flowers. They invigorate the room and create a fresh scent. So I made it a rule to keep them at home. all year round(you can read about how to choose flowers). Nobody says that you need to buy huge gift bouquets. A couple of tulips, peonies or ordinary daisies - and the room becomes cozier.

Another option is indoor plants. They have such a homely and well-groomed look at the rooms. Choose cute and scented plants: jasmine, daffodil, amaryllis, geranium, citrus.

Just imagine, after a long renovation, you enter the apartment. The house is unrecognizable, everything is stylish and new. Walk around the apartment as if in a museum, examining every detail. Get on the posh and soft sofa and look around. Everything seems to be beautiful, but you uncomfortable. And all because it remains to add myself .

Recently, the magic of decorative mirrors was revealed to me. Walking in IKEA between showrooms, I noticed one living room. She was airy, fresh and light. And all because of the decorative mirrors in unusual frames.They multiplied the chandelier light reflected in them so much that the room became very lively. The diffused light illuminated the dark corners of the space and it turned out to be very cozy.
