10 tips from an interior designer
No matter how tasty you cook meat, fish or vegetables, they will be tasteless without seasonings. A little cumin, Svan salt, Provence herbs and dishes will sparkle in a completely different way. They will become spicier, and juicier, and reveal their taste.
The same applies to design. You can ideally calculate the location of the furniture, choose colours that match up to the shades, and choose comfortable furniture, but it’s not comfortable to feel in such an interior. The reason is that you didn't add the same Svan salt, which is called decor in design.
About how to make an apartment cosy, not to overdo it and choose a decor that fits perfectly and reveals the interior. We are going to talk about it today.
How to give the apartment cosiness and comfort and create a homely atmosphere?
A home is a place where you always want to return, after a hard day's work, active outdoor entertainment, a long trip and the most amazing vacation. In a house where a cosy homely atmosphere, harmony and comfort reigns, it is pleasant for the owners and their guests. And if you don’t know how to make your own home cosy, then this article is just for you.
Even without an expensive and modern renovation, an apartment or a house can look cosy and surprise guests with original furnishings and a sense of tranquillity. Seemingly small things like:
photographs in unique frames;
embroidered pictures on the wall;
self-knitted blankets, rugs, and potholders for the kitchen;
bright pillows;
beautifully designed towels;
can give any room a special charm, emphasising the presence of life in it.
It is no secret that for each person it is important to create a homely atmosphere that combines cosiness, comfort and practicality. After all, home is the place where you want to return. We present you the top 10 tips for arranging a comfortable space:
1. Pay close attention to the interior palette. If you do not want to turn to the help of professional designers, then try to maintain the interior in basic colours, so you definitely will not lose. Take furniture and wallpaper in light, beige, greyish or dark shades as a basis.
2. If you were able to decide on the main colour of the interior, then things are much easier with furniture. The main tones of the furniture: are light sandalwood / white gloss/wenge. Provided that your interior is in light colours, feel free to give preference to furniture in white gloss / light sandalwood. Perfect harmony is guaranteed to you. In case of difficulty, the specialists of the company "Vash Byt" will be happy to help you and arrange the furniture according to your request.
3. Avoid bright, flashy shades; decorative elements that are difficult to combine. This will save you from headaches in the future.
4. Pay attention to upholstered furniture and sofas in practical colours: grey, beige, and dark brown. When choosing a material, give preference to chenille. Stains on such furniture are easily erased, due to the colour of the sofa, you don’t have to worry that stains from pets or small children will ruin the furniture.
5. For especially economical buyers - if you want to save on wall decor, then feel free to buy wallpapers of all variations of white and milky colour. You can stick one type of wallpaper on all walls or find different variations. Be sure that due to the light colour your interior will be transformed, it will become lighter and the space will visually increase.
6. Having bought furniture, do not save on assembly. Failure to comply with assembly rules and furniture from an "amateur assembler" usually does not last long. The average service life of furniture, provided that you do not get tired of it, is 15-20 years, so it is better to entrust the assembly to professionals.
7. Buy furniture from ready-made sets. In our store, ready-made options for bedroom sets are presented, which include: a bed, bedside tables, a wardrobe, a mirror, a dressing table and others. These headsets are cheaper. If have decided to save money, you collect furniture from different collections, there is a very high probability of miscalculating the colour.
8. Contact consultants. When buying furniture, feel free to talk with sellers and ask about all the nuances. The stores usually employ very experienced specialists who will replace professional designers for you. For example, sellers with more than 15 years of experience work in our store!!
9. Buy furniture in trusted places, and not from one-day firms. A factory defect may come to you, so it is important to keep in touch with the store until the last. Very often, we are approached by customers who bought furniture from unscrupulous sellers, but a marriage came and the seller disappeared. For example, we recommend hamptons style interiors.
10. 10. Follow store promotions, and use a search engine to find discounts like nordstrom coupons. This is a great opportunity to buy furniture at a good discount, whilst not putting to much pressure on finances.
A comfortable environment in the house largely depends on cleanliness. Scattered things make the interior untidy, even if the designer worked on it during the repair. For the apartment to "breathe", you need to wash the floors, get rid of greasy towels, clean the dirty carpet and wipe the dust on the shelves. Also, do not forget about plumbing and windows. For general cleaning, it is better to involve all family members - things will go faster and have more fun, and order will be appreciated by everyone.
Comfort also has its special smell. It used to be the aroma of cakes and tea. Today, incense sticks and air fresheners are very often used. It is better to regularly ventilate the room and prevent dirty things from being stale. In the refrigerator, you should constantly revise the products. And of course, a good hood in the kitchen is the law!
