There are apartments that give us comfort directly. We step into it and feel at home straight away, every room appears warm, harmonious and calm. Above all is the personal touch of the residents, which gives the interior the finishing touch. That works for you too! It doesn’t matter whether the apartment is large or small – if you follow a few tips when setting up, you can create an inviting and friendly atmosphere in just a few simple steps. You can read here what they are.
4 Ways To Make Your Apartment More Cozy
Put The Apartment In The Right Light
The warmer the light in an apartment, the cozier it looks. Ceiling lights that bathe the entire room in bright light are more of a hindrance to an atmospheric ambience. Indirect light from several light sources is much better suited. A soft light color is crucial – it is best to look for a yellow-orange tone when buying the bulbs. Several lamps distributed throughout the room ensure comfort. You can find a large selection of table, wall or pendant lights at Westwing, for example.
The Color Tone Makes The Music
Time for a new coat of paint! A simple way to make the apartment more comfortable is to use warm, modern wall colors. Beige or brown tones such as taupe, camel, terracotta or ocher have a very harmonious effect. The right tone is crucial: while light blue walls can appear very cool, dark navy is suitable for a large, cozy living room. The same applies to white: off-white, eggshell or cream appear softer than pure white and are therefore more comfortable. For small apartments, it is better to stay away from dark colors and choose light nuances. Good to know: A warm wall color warmly reflects light directed at it back. A cool wall reflects cool light.
Rely On Natural Materials
Coziness is primarily created by a calm, unexcited range of natural tones. For a cozy apartment, the choice of furniture should be based on natural materials such as wood, stone, rattan or wicker. These materials naturally come in muted, sandy and earthy tones, radiating warmth. In addition, leather in warm brown tones, for example as a cover for a lounge chair or a chic and preferably sustainable sofa, can bring a very cozy atmosphere into the living room. Raffia, cotton, jute, linen or wool are other natural materials that look very homely. Good to know: Rich shades of blue or green are recommended when choosing accent furniture or walls. The eye perceives this as beautifully relaxing.
Coziness Upgrade With Textiles
Textiles can be used to add cozy accents to any room. High-quality natural fibers such as soft cashmere, 100% cotton, (new) wool and velvet and bouclé fabrics are best suited for this. Thick, non-slip fabrics with a sensual feel are very friendly and warm. Different textures give depth to the fabrics and space.
