It is believed that the birthplace of everything stylish and sophisticated is France, and therefore who, if not French housewives, knows the intricacies of creating coziness.

They say that with the help of simple tips you can make even a poor and small Khrushchev-era apartment comfortable and cozy.

Let's figure out whether it's worth believing French secrets.

Light mess

If you want to recreate the atmosphere of a Parisian apartment, you shouldn't strive for perfect order. You need to maintain the effect of slight carelessness. This could be books placed out of place on a shelf, figurines and glasses next to each other, a blanket on the sofa, etc.

Aged materials

If we talk about wall decoration, these are calm and natural colors (beige, light brown, blue, white). You can use simple wallpaper.

Upholstered furniture

Velvet and velour will look great in the interior. The furniture is pleasant to the touch and conducive to relaxation.

Cafe interior

It can be arranged on the balcony, in the kitchen or in the living room. In a nutshell, it should be a corner with rounded furniture made of wood or rattan. It brings to mind a visit to a cafe.

Style

For such rooms, designers recommend choosing a retro or vintage style. A slight touch of antiquity, cozy floor lamps or table lamps, carpets, etc. – all this will help achieve the desired effect.
