When it comes to decorating the house it is very important to give it a nice touch that makes the people who live in it feel like nowhere else. It is about achieving a feeling of warmth and comfort that, especially on these cold days , makes them prefer to stay at home instead of leaving it. Here are some tips to achieve this.

 

Colors

 

On walls, ceilings, floors, furniture, enclosures, textiles, accessories and any other object that is at home. Color is in everything and having a cozy home will depend, in large part, on it. Colors are capable of transmitting sensations, including warmth. Those in charge of achieving this will be the whites and neutrals such as gray, greens, blues and yellows in pastel tones, the entire range of violet, and earth tones such as reds, oranges and chocolates. The key is to combine the ones you like most harmoniously throughout the house.

 

The materials

 

From coatings, to furniture, through accessories and textiles. Depending on the materials with which all these elements have been manufactured, the room will have a more or less warm atmosphere. Among those that are more welcoming, we must highlight wood, stone or natural fibers. From light wood or wrought iron furniture, through stone walls or accessories made of wicker or leather, to wallpaper with plain or floral motifs. The coverings of the house and the elements that compose it are essential to achieve this warmth.

 

The lighting

 

Achieving a cozy atmosphere also means achieving perfect lighting. In addition to enhancing the entry of natural light into each of the rooms, we must try to achieve indirect ambient and point light, which make the room a more intimate and warm place. Lamps, especially those with a fabric shade, are practical and decorative elements, perfect for achieving a more welcoming atmosphere.

 

Textiles

 

You must know how to choose the right fabrics: wool, cotton, silk, velvets, stuffed with feathers … that make up blankets, rugs, cushions, pillows, quilts, bedspreads , curtains and other essential elements. It is also necessary to ensure that the colors and patterns do not clash with the rest of the decoration and create a harmonious set. The perfect colors for textiles will be whites and neutrals, violets, yellows, blues and greens in shades of pastels, oranges, reds and chocolates.

 

The complements

 

From renovated classics such as fireplaces, through intimate candles, plants that give warmth to the home, or upholstery. Accessories are one more factor to make the home cozy and, above all, to personalize it. Hence the indispensable use of works of art and / or photographs to give a warm, intimate and personal touch to the home.
