Tried and tested tricks for a cosy interior

Are you furnishing a new home and still struggling to make the individual rooms as cosy as you imagined? We have a few tried and tested tips that always work.

Wood everywhere you look

Wood is a proven material for hundreds of years, especially when it comes to the warmth of your home. If metal, glass or tiles are predominant in your home, it's no wonder you feel uncomfortable at home. These are surfaces that are cold to the touch. Putting slippers on can help, but that's not all.

Give preference to wooden surfaces, whether floors, furniture or various accessories. Currently, the trend is to leave the wood in its natural form, so thick layers of varnish are not used. Instead, the wood structure and colour are allowed to stand out, and a rather thin layer of glaze is applied in a matt or maximally silky glossy finish.

Don't you have bare walls?

We're not suggesting to anyone that they should fill every bit of free-space in their home. But even bare walls aren't exactly fine. You can easily fix that by buying decoration for the walls. For example, it can be wall clocks, paintings or wallpaper.

Shelves are also extremely popular – they can be made of solid wood, therefore combining two of our recommendations into one. You can also add a third recommendation: Place indoor plants on the shelves.

Room lights warm any home

If you're lacking indoor plants at home, there is nothing easier or quicker than fixing this deficiency. Indoor plants will help to brighten up dark corners, break up a monotonous interior, but most importantly bring life to every home. Even humans are still a part of nature, so, in short, we feel more at home in the company of green plants.

Your interior is all about the detail

Especially in new interiors, small details that make a home a home are still often missing in new interiors. For example, you can place a small rug under the coffee table. The sofa can also have a blanket that you wrap yourself in during autumn evenings. Decorative cushions on the sofa or on the bed are also helpful. There are endless possibilities and the imagination knows no bounds.

Domestic pets

Do you live alone and are you tired of silence at home? The ideal solution is a pet - a dog, a cat or even a hamster. In short, something that moves and makes you happy. A pet is an indispensable companion that will truly bring warmth to every home. Almost everyone always wanted a pet, so make your dream come true and go for it.

When there's no heat, add… heat

Finally, one really tried and tested tip. If your interior feels cold and uncomfortable, one solution always works. The solution to this is fire. It has a calming effect on a person, we don't even need to talk about the warmth. If you have the opportunity, get a fireplace in your living room. There are some fireplaces that can be installed in apartments.

An alternative solution can be to light a candle or perhaps a paraffin lamp outside the window.
