Cozy, modern interior design is more than just style. It reflects a lifestyle that values function and form, beauty and comfort. Creating a cozy interior at home is a kind of art, as it requires a combination of harmony, beauty and aesthetics. It doesn't matter if you are planning a full-scale renovation or you just want to create a cozy minimalism with small changes, the tips in our blog will help you in both cases.
What should be taken into account when planning a cozy interior?
Planning a cozy, serene home interior means, first and foremost, creating a space that you genuinely perceive as your own and enjoy being in. A cozy interior cannot exist if you do not feel comfortable. Consider the following when planning a cozy interior:
1. Create a comfortable space with soft furniture, poufs, and pillows. An integral part of coziness is a "soft corner" where you can relax, read a book, or watch a movie—in short, unwind.
2. Use candles in the interior that you light periodically. There is something meditative about watching a flickering candle. Additionally, candles can be beautiful and tailored to the overall interior.
3. You can enhance the coziness of your home interior with handmade ceramic dishes. Every time you drink coffee or tea from a ceramic mug, you'll feel cozy.
4. A beautiful piece of art is one of the most crucial elements of a cozy interior. Choose something that catches your eye and brings joy with every glance.
Cozy Interior
Hygge is a Danish interior design concept focused on creating a cozy living space. One of the main principles is to use warm and inviting elements. Soft furniture, layered fabrics, and a neutral color palette play a significant role in creating the cozy atmosphere of Hygge. To achieve Hygge, you also need:
- Natural materials such as wood and stone. These materials add warmth and texture to the space, establishing a connection with nature.
- Include personal and meaningful elements in the decoration – items that are sentimental to you and reflect your personality.
Cozy Minimalist Design
In cozy minimalist design, the emphasis is on quality, not quantity. It can be achieved with a warm color palette, ambient lighting, open spaces, and natural elements. Choose a few high-quality items and avoid cluttering the space. It is not necessary to fill all corners.
- Warm colors create a calm atmosphere. Start with neutral colors like white, beige, and gray. Use these colors on walls, door frames, and large pieces of furniture. Then add burgundy, brown, blue, or other warm colors in small pieces of furniture, pillows, and wall pieces. Finally, you can add yellow or orange in accessories and various artworks to complete the interior.
- Use layered lighting, which implies the inclusion of different types of lighting in the interior. Task lighting focuses on specific areas, such as reading nooks or kitchen counters. Accent lighting refers to wall-mounted lights, such as those aimed at artwork. Also, hang lamps of different designs separately, which will enhance the overall warmth of the space.
- Natural materials include wood, stone, and leather, each connecting the interior with nature. Additionally, house plants are crucial elements that can further enhance the coziness of the space.
- Arrange both furniture and decorations so that you leave spaces and avoid overcrowding. The spaces left create a sense of orderliness and contribute to a calm, cozy interior.
