10 life hacks for a cozy home
id: 10041970

A few years ago, the world was captured by hygge, the Danish philosophy of life, which fits into a few rules. And one of them: the creation of comfort at home and at work. Cute details, light shades, soft lighting, pillows and blankets, shelves with books are used. But these are not all ways to make your home a place of power. Designers have their own tricks.

1. Consoles and cabinets
Even a small bedside table can set the style or become a bright interior accent. For example, if the house is made in light shades and everything merges, then a bright-colored cabinet will make the space more lively and interesting. You can support such a cabinet with small matching accessories or textiles. But if there are too many colors and textures in the room, then it is better to choose bedside tables to match the bed, and a chest of drawers as a bright accent. The console and a small cabinet are ideally complemented with a mirror or a picture. The console can be made an independent object at all, or it can be used as a table by moving an armchair or pouffe to it.

2. Puffs, couches, small armchairs
Puffs, small armchairs and couches will add coziness to any interior. The couch, although it requires a lot of space, but placed in the corner along with a floor lamp, a small table or a bookcase, will be an ideal place to rest and relax. Small armchairs are best used as a color accent: they can be a separate area or next to the sofa. If you decide to combine, then choose the color of the chairs in contrast to the sofa. And pouffes can serve as a coffee table, create comfort or be an accent. It all depends on the task and wishes.

3. Carpets
Add carpet to any interior and the space will become much cozier. It can even make up for the absence of curtains. The main thing is to choose the right size. Remember how in Soviet apartments the carpet lay in the center between sofas and armchairs. You don’t need to do this: even with a stylish carpet, create a “grandma’s version”. The carpet will look profitable if all the interior items stand on it. If you want warmth and comfort, choose a Persian carpet in soothing shades or a patchwork. If you need to finish off the colors, see that the drawing is in the same scale, and not multi-colored. But realistic carpets in the form of giant roses or fruits and carpets with inscriptions should be avoided - they will steal both the style and the feeling of home.
