Even in the most stylish and clean apartment you may not feel cozy and comfortable, and struggle with the association of a hospital ward.
The concept of coziness is subjective, and it does not depend on the cost of repairs and furniture. According to professionals, coziness can be created in any space if you first eliminate several annoying mistakes.
During the Soviet Union, it was typical to arrange furniture around the perimeter of a room, leaving a large central space empty.
This tradition, despite numerous design techniques, has remained alive in people's minds. And the arrangement is relevant even today.
Only now an empty middle is considered a sign of lack of coziness. The situation can be corrected by simply rearranging the furniture.
You can move the sofa away from the wall closer to the center, placing a work area behind it, place a designer table in the center of the room, play with lighting and let in highlights to create the effect of filled emptiness.
The vertical space of rooms often remains empty. This is due to the fact that home owners are afraid to experiment with galleries of paintings, posters and photographs.
They simply do not understand what can be placed on the wall instead of carpets and clocks. Meanwhile, bare walls are the main symptom of the lack of comfort in the room. The walls resemble a government building, faceless, ugly.
Today, filling the space on the wall is not difficult at all. Designers have taken care of numerous frames for paintings and photographs, shelves for figurines, flowers and candles, decor, posters and stickers.
The more places to relax in a house or apartment, the more comfortable the space seems.
A sofa cannot become a point of relaxation if its shape and surroundings do not encourage it.
In the resting place, it is necessary to install appropriate lighting, for example, a floor lamp with the ability to adjust the light intensity, lay out blankets and pillows, find a place for a coffee table, where it is easy to put a book and a mug of hot chocolate. You can successfully find a free corner and arrange a resting place there with a soft chair and a pouf for your feet, a lamp and a shelf with nice accessories.
The minimalist style in modern realities fully justifies the trend of reasonable consumption, interior with the ability to relieve stress and the formation of a sense of responsibility for the environment in people. However, in attempts to independently create a style of the premises, people forget that the house should first of all be cozy.
In particular, in shades, pleasant pastels, deep saturated, which set the mood. To avoid this mistake, it is recommended to complement the neutral finish with bright tones.
You can avoid overloading the space by using accent colors in the decor, live plants , posters, blankets and pillows, and curtains.
The room will definitely look uninviting and boring if it does not have different lighting scenarios.
One central chandelier is obviously dark shadows in the corners and a visually flat space that puts pressure on a person’s psycho-emotional state.
Moreover, it is difficult to do hobbies in such lighting, spend evenings playing in a cheerful company. Comfort is always a warm yellow light, which can be adjusted in saturation. It is worth adding a couple of lamps on the wall or floor, think about lighting with a strip along the perimeter of the ceiling, place candles and distribute garlands.
An uncomfortable home is always the result of mistakes in decor. It is worth reviewing the decisions made and correcting the mistakes.
