Recipes cozy home from our regular author Anna Mulan
Just recently I moved to new apartment. But I didn’t experience the expected joy from the move. I could sit in my favorite Starbucks until the night: work, relax and be inspired. It was more comfortable there than at home. When I felt that I was already 80% coffee, I realized that it was time to return home.
I wondered why I don’t feel drawn to it? Why is it more comfortable in a noisy coffee shop? And in general, what little things make a house a home?And here are the recipes for a cozy home that cannot be exchanged for a cafe. Tested by personal experience.
Well, I decided to make changes in the house. But where to start? Read a smart book, magazine, watch design tutorials on the Internet, or maybe hire a designer? But this would not make the apartment any more comfortable, because the concept “ cosiness “Everyone has their own. It's something personal.
I started simple - with questions: “What kind of atmosphere in the house do I generally need? How would I like to feel in each room?”
Don't rush to throw out your old one and buy new furniture. The apartment will not become more comfortable. Ask the question: what do YOU want? And for each room, choose at least three word-symbols that describe the atmosphere you want to create.
A very cool book on this topic “”. Makes it clear that before starting global changes in the house, you should first understand yourself.
My comfort was hampered by things that I haven’t used for a long time, but it’s a pity to throw them away (“it’s a memory”). I'm sure everyone has encountered this problem (our balconies are a temple of memory for unnecessary items).Junk accumulates and collects dust over the years. And old, no longer needed, memories prevent you from enjoying the present. By the way, we have a separate section on the topic of unnecessary things and order in the house.
Don’t be afraid to throw out jars, bottles, teabags, boxes - anything you haven’t used for a long time. Yes, these things were once needed, but the time has come for something truly important and new.
I recently traveled around Sweden and noticed one detail: in each apartment there was a paper star-lamp on the windowsill. And the rooms and balconies were decorated with lights. The atmosphere reached me even on the street home comfort and warmth.I then thought: “This is cool! But just little lights.” MWe treat light in the house superficially: we hung a chandelier and best case scenario The floor lamp was installed. And light is a powerful comforter that creates an atmosphere.
Highlight each area in the room with light, avoid dark corners. Place a floor lamp near the chair in which you like to read, hang a sconce over your favorite painting or photo, don’t forget about table lamp and a chandelier with soft light.And, of course, candles - warm and lively light.
Coziness's best friend is a dimmer: install it on all lighting sources for the desired atmosphere.
Sofa – interesting thing. It’s like an eminence grise: it doesn’t seem to be the basis of the interior, but it influences everything in the room.The sofa carries a great emotional load - this is a place where you can relax and unwind, chat with family and friends, wrap yourself in a blanket and watch TV with your significant other. Take his choice seriously.
“Well, I’ll buy something cheap for the first time,” I mistakenly thought. Mine was uncomfortable and hard, and it broke quickly. I had to go in search of something new and high quality to make the apartment comfortable.
Quality is expressed in beauty and convenience. When choosing, look at the neatness of the seams, the coating, and most importantly, the filler. The ideal filling is down with a thin layer of foam.
A minute of theory: LPPU or latex polyurethane foam – perfect solution. Unlike simple foam rubber, the bubbles in which burst under load (this causes the coating to sag and lose its shape), latex does not suffer from use, but returns every time. starting position. You can check this by sitting on the couch. See how quickly it gets back into shape. Another the right way– ask a consultant or ask to look and touch the layer.
Don't skimp on a decent sofa - this is your comfort. We even have a whole article about this: “How to choose a good sofa?” And how to make it more comfortable - see below.
The blanket often travels from room to room on my shoulders. When I want warmth, I take it out from the depths of the closet. But it can warm not only people, but also give warmth to an entire room.
Blankets thrown over the back of a chair or the armrest of a sofa seem to hint that they live in the room and use it. Cashmere, wool, cotton, checkered or striped. With them, any interior will be more homely and lively.
And the Pillows! To be honest, I only had one. She lay on the bed, covered with a blanket, and performed one function - she transported her to the world of dreams.Pillows can update and even change the interior. Place one on the armchair and several on the sofa, and the room will look new!
But it's not that simple. In addition to beauty, convenience is also important here. If family members, friends, guests, when sitting down, move or remove the pillows, then there is no question of any comfort here. No matter how luxurious the pillow is, first of all it should invite you to sit down.
Here are a couple of lifehacks:
pay attention to down pillows - they are the softest;
if you doubt the size of the pillow, make a larger error;
large square ones for sofas ( 35-50 cm) , rectangular for chairs (30x40 or 40x65);
the color of the pillow must match at least three things in the interior (curtains, carpet, wallpaper, etc.)
Here is the formula for making a sofa cozy = a blanket on the back or armrest + 2 identical pillows in the corners + a rectangular pillow in the center. (More details about the number, location and size of pillows in ours)
Many useful tips on soft comforts is in the book “Home, Sweet Home”. I read it in one evening and was inspired to buy new pillows!
The first thing people notice when entering a house is its aroma. It remains in the memory and creates the first impression. It is unlikely that you will be comfortable in an apartment with the smell of dampness or mold.
This does not mean that you need to buy a bunch of fragrances and spray them where it smells unpleasant. The point is that you should create a basic aroma that is always in the apartment - you feel it as soon as you walk home from the street.
You can use the following:
aromatic mixture
Easy to use sachet. Sachets are small pillows or bags filled with natural materials: petals, twigs, herbs, spices.
Such bags are placed throughout the apartment, and always in the hallway, so that a pleasant aroma greets you after a hard day at work.
scented candles
Depending on the season or our mood, we can change the smells of our home using aromatherapy candles. They enliven any room and are appropriate almost everywhere except the dining table - there is a place for the smell of delicious food.
Be careful. Candles made from cheap and low-quality materials will not give you relaxation, but a headache. Choose from soy or coconut waxes with natural ingredients.
Have you noticed how a room transforms when you stand in it? beautiful bouquet? It’s somehow immediately fresh, joyful, cozy. But for most, such transformations in the interior happen on holidays, when flowers migrate into the house as a gift.
I love fresh flowers. They invigorate the room and create a fresh aroma. That's why I made it a rule to keep them at home all year round(you can read about how to choose flowers). Nobody says that you need to buy huge gift bouquets. A couple of tulips, peonies or ordinary daisies - and the room becomes more comfortable.
Another option is indoor plants. They make the rooms look so homely and well-groomed. Choose pretty and fragrant plants: jasmine, narcissus, amaryllis, geranium, citrus fruits.
Just imagine, after a long renovation, you enter an apartment. The house is unrecognizable, everything is stylish and new. Walk around the apartment as if through a museum, looking at every detail. Sit down on the chic and soft sofa and look around. Everything seems beautiful, but you uncomfortable. And all because it remains to add myself .
Photographs, paintings, books, memorabilia tell our story. With proper arrangement of these items, it turns out living house, telling about the owner.
We make the home ours through:
Books
This is what we love and admire. Through books we are able to talk about our hobbies without even naming them. Therefore, there is no need to put them in boxes and store them in a closet.
You can make stacks of books on the floor. You can place them on shelves, diluting them with candles, figurines, photographs.
Photo
I love lively, random shots. They accurately convey our emotions and state at the moment of the past. These are the kind of photos that should be stored not on your smartphone, but on the walls of your apartment. How to do this, read
Print, hang or place anywhere in the room. Fill it with emotions.
Paintings and drawings
You surround yourself with creativity that inspires.
Hang pictures on the wall or simply place them on a table, mantel, or lean against the wall to create a carefree atmosphere. (For information on how to do this, see the article “How to hang pictures without headaches?”)
Recently I discovered the magic of decorative mirrors. Walking between showrooms at IKEA, I noticed one living room. It was airy, fresh and bright. And all because of decorative mirrors in unusual frames.They multiplied the light reflected in them from the chandeliers so much that the room became very lively. Scattered light illuminated the dark corners of the space and it turned out very cozy.
Do you understand what I mean? Mirrors won't hurt. Hang them on the wall instead of a picture, place them above the fireplace or next to some piece of furniture, place them between a couple of windows, above a sofa, above any shelf or dressing table.
If there is a fireplace in the house, then 50% of the cozy plan has been completed! Because fire is warmth, calm, peace, comfort.Alternative - electric fireplace: There is no need to throw firewood, it is impossible to get burned, there is heat.In general, if you have the opportunity to purchase this magical thing, don’t hesitate!
These points helped me bring the apartment closer to the cozy ideal. But there is another important detail - the comfort in the house is created by its people.
Your comfort is you and the emotions you bring. Positive or negative, they charge every corner.
And here is the ideal formula for comfort: spiritual gatherings with family and friends + love + 10 tips listed above, and you will never trade your home for a noisy cafe.
Every person, entering their apartment or house, wants to feel cozy and comfortable. However, not everything always happens the way you want. If you enter the house and see only cold bare walls, gray paint and worn upholstery on the sofa, don’t despair, because everything can still be fixed! A person needs a cozy environment in the home not only morally, but also physically. That is why it is so important to know how to make your home cozy and beautiful.
Decorative carpets, fabrics, paintings, photographs or sculptures play an important role in arranging your home. The most various products made of wood and ceramics perfectly harmonize with modern furniture and decorative fabrics. However, when choosing products, you need to be guided not only by taste, but also not to forget about the style of the interior - only under this condition will your purchases be appropriate.
Various interior items can simultaneously decorate your apartment and correct some of its shortcomings. For example, with the help of curtains you can visually make a window wider if you hang it on a cornice that will stretch across the entire width of the room. Even if there is practically nothing in the room except curtains and a carpet, it still has comfort and warmth.
To properly organize the space in your home and understand how to make your home cozy with your own hands, you need to know a few simple rules. In order to follow these rules you don’t have to do anything in the house major renovation, because you can completely do without investing a huge amount of money. It will be enough to simply apply some previously unknown decorating techniques, and as a result, the room in which you lived will change 100 percent.
1. Try to start monitoring the environmental cleanliness of your home during the construction and subsequent renovation stages.
The best materials for use in the home include those that take us back to the days of living in caves: straw, wood, clay, etc. Eco-friendly products are also considered natural stones, and clay bricks, so don’t think that you have to build your house from clay and reeds - this is not the case. But metal and glass, which are the first fruits of civilization, no longer have such an impeccable reputation, but this also does not mean that instead of the usual glass frames use a bull bubble, as was done in the Middle Ages.
2. To comply with the environmental trend in your home, you can replace plastic containers for wicker baskets, replace pillows with synthetic padding with pillows with real feathers or down, replace new fabrics with time-tested chintz, linen or coarse wool, replace metal blinds with wicker mats.
Better to use natural materials not because they are simply more environmentally friendly, but primarily because they have special energy and warm a person by their very appearance.
3. Don't neglect things in the style of "grandma's chest": all sorts of retro little things taken from your family's museum, if, of course, they do not crumble in your hands and are presented properly, can also fill your home with coziness and warmth.
However, there are natural “gifts” that should definitely be avoided - these are trophies from hunting: the horns and skins of killed animals, their stuffed animals and other parts of the body will not bring you joy, no matter how beautiful they are, they give off an energy that is not very useful for humans.
4. Very good influence Your mental health will be affected by home creativity and its results, which will be built into the interior.
You can manually embroider pillowcases and napkins, draw pictures and “batiks”, make bouquets of artificial flowers and candles, you can update furniture upholstery and lampshades, paint nesting dolls and much more.
5. It is very important that the house has a pleasant smell.
After all, the first thing you do when you enter someone's home is breathe in the air. What impression do you get of a person whose house smells, say, not very pleasant? This is why it is so important to monitor the smell in your home. For this purpose, you can use automatic air fresheners, aroma lamps and sticks, and so on.
6. The most important detail in the interior of a room is color.
In fact, color is the basis of the entire interior. A person’s well-being and mood are closely related to the color scheme of the interior of his apartment.
If you are not satisfied with the color of the walls or furniture in your apartment, it is not at all necessary to repaint and replace everything. In order to set the desired tone, you can simply use textiles desired color or choose harmonious decorative items. Also in order to change color scheme tablecloths, curtains, pillows and many other things will suit the room.
7. If you're not an amateur indoor plants, but there is still something missing in your home, then the solution is quite simple. You can get a hamster, cat or dog if you are ready to take care of them, and if not, then buy an aquarium with fish.
An aquarium is ideal option for those who do not want to spend a lot of time and effort on care and at the same time have the opportunity to please themselves after a hard day at work.
8. Each person is an individual, and in your home there should be things that reflect your personality, character, lifestyle, and hobbies.
Such things may not fit under general style in the interior, but at the same time they will delight their owner, bringing pleasure, because main task interior design is to show the individuality of the person living in the apartment.
9. Space is something that most modern apartments lack.
The best option would be to throw out the trash and get rid of unnecessary things. The main thing is to free the room from various debris, to ensure that the room begins to “breathe”.
To do this, you need to clean up the closets, put things in their places, and it would be best to replace old furniture to a more compact one, of course, provided that you have the funds for it. Such actions will help you get rid of the feeling of cramping and make your home more spacious.
If you are interested in other ways to make your home more comfortable, there are many more different options, it would be a fantasy.
For example, you can make unusual draperies with your own hands on glass doors on an old-fashioned sideboard, which, as most often happens, is filled with all sorts of not-so-nice contents. But if they are made from the fabric of sofa cushions or curtains, then they will become a full-fledged decorative element. By the way, textiles play vital role when creating a comfortable, cozy atmosphere in the house: a bright blanket lying on the sofa will hide its shabby and ugly upholstery and, at the same time, transform the interior.
If suddenly in the house you find empty bottles If they have a very unusual shape, they can be painted with paints specially adapted for painting on glass or ceramics. In the same way, you can paint ordinary table plates and make them into a piece of furniture.
Agree, a house becomes residential and cozy as soon as it is overgrown with lovely details: photos of you from vacation or with your beloved friends, gifts and souvenirs brought from different countries and many others. All such memorable and pleasant details will create a psychologically cozy and comfortable atmosphere in your home.

Add a few pots of flowers, hang a seasonal wreath or decorations, update your license plate, or paint your door a bright color.
2. Arrange objects according to the rule of threes
As in many fields and disciplines, the rule of three is actively used in decoration and styling. A trio of pieces looks more visually appealing and more balanced, especially when it comes to size, height and materials.
Start small and decorate a small corner in your living room or a table. For example, place a vase of flowers, a basket of books and a clock. You will see how cute and cozy this composition looks. But don't oversaturate the room with these. decorative little things, otherwise the effect will be read incorrectly.

A vertical or slightly tilted stack of books is the norm for classic interior. Alternative placement speaks of boldness and modern style. Try alternating shelves, arranging books either vertically or horizontally. Horizontal lines will break the pattern of vertical lines and attract attention. You can place additional items on book shelves. Just make sure the order is random, as a rigid layout is very noticeable.
5. Display things that have a story to tell.
This advice is a little more complicated than it sounds, because not every person wants to show off objects dear to their hearts and realize that no one else is impressed with them except themselves.
To grab people's attention, your favorite items need to stand out. environment and immediately catch your eye. Don't forget that you don't have to cross an ocean to find something worth telling others about.

The transparent vessel looks very stylish and futuristic.

Take a closer look and find the surfaces where it is most noticeable in daylight, and be sure to wipe these areas between " general cleaning" This way, you can enjoy clean air and not worry when unexpected guests arrive.
8. Arrange flowers in random order
When you receive bouquets, place them somewhere in the corner of the room, and never in a central place. Bonus points if it's field or garden flowers. Random placement makes it feel like the flowers are an integral part of your home and you're not trying to show off or impress others.
9. Move furniture between rooms
We are used to moving things within one confined space, and it's not natural to move furniture from room to room. In fact, things may look much better in the new space, or serve more functionality. When you don't have the time or budget to buy new home decor, the most quick way refreshing any room in your home means rearranging the furniture.
10. Keep white towels in the bathroom
It's a personal choice, but white towels give a feeling of freshness and cleanliness. Plus, having more than one towel in your bathroom adds casual hospitality and attention to detail.

You can put just books or mix them with magazines and photos. This perfect place to apply the rule of threes and combine books with decorative elements and small objects.
12. Serve water in a jug
Whether you drink tap or bottled water, store it in a jug. There's nothing cuter than putting it on the table during lunch with your family or dinner with guests. If it's a clear jug, you can add cucumber or lemon slices to the water.
Leave the jug on bedside table, to both humidify the air and add some style points.
13. Paint some items to match the walls or trim.
Most often, things in an apartment do not fit well with each other due to different styles, colors and finishes. Paint some furniture the same color as the walls, or choose curtains/rug/cushions to match exactly. This will create a certain unity of space. Such items should be scattered throughout the room, not too close to each other. There is no need to repaint everything - even a small dose will help create harmonious composition.
14. Keep napkins on the table even if you're not eating.
This may seem counterintuitive, but it actually creates the illusion of a clean home and order in the family (especially if you have children). Napkins are also in a great way to add color and pattern to your kitchen interior. They can be inexpensive, plastic, rubber or paper. You can also make napkins with my own hands by cutting the fabric into small squares. The main thing is to take into account the color scheme.
15. Decorate your home with variations of the same element
Choose one type of product that you have enough of. For example, fruits, and what brighter color, the better. You can also use some kind of vegetable or simple elements that occur in nature, such as rocks or wood.
Place them in a vase or bowl and place them in a visible place, but not in the center. The goal is to attract attention, so the vase should be simple in shape and ordinary material.
16. Group candles
Gather all the candles you have and place them in small groups throughout your apartment. The living room is the first place. Lighting candles in groups is much more effective than lighting them individually as they provide more light, which is ideal for an evening with guests.
When purchasing candles, avoid fussy designs and scents. The best ones are classic white candles, which are ideal for grouping.
17. Add indoor plants
Plants not only bring freshness and color to a room, but are also an important decorative element. Place them near large pieces of furniture or use them to fill empty corners. Small plants can be mixed in a composition, following the rule of three.
18. Remove some accessories
If you're a fan of small trinkets, decorative items, works of art, rugs, pillows, your home most likely resembles a folk art museum. Minimalism in home interior looks much better than an abundance of unnecessary things. Try removing some accessories, replacing them, adding something else until you are happy with the result. It is best to decorate the house with one type of decorative items. It looks stylish and cozy.
19. Keep a small blanket on the couch
Light blanket Not only does it create a cozy feeling, but it also allows you to add texture and color to a rather flat or neutral room. If you want to add just one colorful touch, make sure that the blanket is not neatly folded, but casually thrown over the back.
20. Place baskets around the house
A basket is a lifeline when you need to clear away clutter before guests arrive or move things from room to room. They seem much more expensive and exotic than they really are. Baskets can be different sizes and shapes, but they must be made of the same material or have overall color so as not to create too much chaos. They can be a completely unique and loud splash in a neutral space in your room. If the interior of your home is made in light colors, select more baskets dark shades, and vice versa.
21. Store food in containers
This best way organize space in your kitchen and add a stylish touch to the interior. Store grains, spices, cookies and other foods in containers. Glass containers look beautiful, but they can be expensive. Use inexpensive options. The point is not to have the whole set. The key is to keep the containers the same material and color to create a clean, organized look in your kitchen or pantry.
22. Hang things on the walls
Many people avoid decorating their walls because they don't have enough money for expensive pieces of art. But you don't need fancy paintings because anything can be art as long as it evokes feelings in you. Hang magazine pages, photographs, or your own drawings in a chaotic manner to add dynamics to the wall. From time to time, change the images to update the interior a little.
23. Show off your hobby
Don't be shy about showing your hobby openly. Firstly, it will be a topic for interesting discussions. Secondly, you can hang the results of your labor on the walls, or place them randomly on shelves or simply leave them on the floor. This is guaranteed to add uniqueness to your home.
