How to Make Your Apartment Cozy with Textiles: Tips That Designers Usually Charge For
Many people dream of a cozy apartment - you must admit, it is much better to return to your nice little apartment after work than to contemplate the faceless space that begins right after the front door.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , spoke about how to add coziness to the interior. According to the specialist, textiles will be a faithful assistant in this matter.
Let us note right away: it would be fundamentally wrong to assume that textiles are just tablecloths and curtains.
There are many items that fall under this category.
- Cushions for sofas and armchairs, as well as cushions for kitchen stools.
- If we talk about the kitchen, then these are, of course, towels, potholders, tablecloths and serving plates.
- Blankets (choose items with different textures and shades).
- Bedspread (if we are talking about a bedroom).
- Tulle for windows.
- Carpets.
Now that we have figured out what can be classified as textiles, it’s time to move on to the nuances.
First, let's talk about the tablecloth. If you are worried that the textile covering the table will inevitably get dirty, buy flexible glass.
Durable, wear-resistant silicone will protect the fabric from moisture and dirt.
But oilcloth is not suitable at all: it will make your kitchen look cheap and can ruin all your efforts to create a stylish interior.
Finally, when choosing textiles, it is worth following one important rule - do not buy products created in one design and shade. Instead, use the Itten color wheel (it can be found on the Internet) and select textiles painted in adjacent or opposite colors, in a triangle or square.
