Usually, when it comes to home comfort, thoughts about expenses or at least a general cleaning naturally arise.
But we will talk about the final touch, when the repairs are done, order is restored, but still something is missing.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to add a little coziness to the house with the help of disorder.
Perfect order
Ideal order, just like a monochrome interior or minimalism, eventually becomes boring.
In such cases, you want some dynamics or freshness to feel life and fill the house with coziness.
This is where a little disorder comes to the rescue.
Light mess
And here there are rules that allow you to distinguish a designer’s development from real chaos.
1. Start with literature. Newspapers, magazines and other waste paper should be put out of sight.
But fiction books should be left as if by chance on a table, chest of drawers, or nightstand.
Don't overdo it and pile up mountains of books in every corner, even if you are really obsessed with reading.
2. Next, throw a blanket on the sofa. It should not lie neatly folded in the corner.
Let its edges hang over the armrest or backrest. It's okay if part of it ends up on the floor.
Complete the composition with a couple of pillows scattered in a chaotic manner.
3. Eliminate any symmetry and hints of statutory order.
That is, you don’t need to place upholstered furniture in one line, and the coffee table strictly in the center of the room.
Complete your interior with random details.
Even such a small thing as knitting needles with a ball and an unfinished scarf will make any room feel lived-in and homely.
