Recipes for a cozy home from our regular author Anna Mulan

Just recently I moved to a 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 symbol words that describe the atmosphere you want to create.

A very cool book on this topic “”. Makes it clear that before you start global changes in the house - first you need to understand yourself.


My comfort was hampered by things that I haven’t used for a long time, and 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 really 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 of home comfort and warmth reached me even on the street.I then thought: “This is cool! But just little lights.” MWe treat light in the house superficially: we hung a chandelier and, at best, installed a floor lamp. 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 a 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.


The sofa is an 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 is the ideal 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 to its original position every time. You can check this by sitting on the couch. See how quickly it gets back into shape. Another surefire way is to 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 cozying a sofa = 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 for the dining table - there is a place for the smell of delicious food.

Be careful. From candles made from cheap and low-quality materials, you will get not relaxation, but 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 - indoor plants. They make the rooms look so homely and well-groomed. Choose cute and fragrant plants: jasmine, narcissus, amaryllis, geranium, citrus.


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 .

Photos, 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. The diffused 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.An alternative is an electric fireplace: there is no need to add 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 more 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.

Coming home and getting into an atmosphere of comfort and warmth is the natural desire and right of any person. It’s wonderful when harmony and joy reign in the apartment, and when loved ones and relatives greet you on the doorstep. Sometimes some little things are missing for complete happiness. This means it’s time to think about how to create comfort in the apartment, give the interior a certain style, and add those details that will turn the house into a “full bowl.”

Order

First of all, a cozy apartment is a clean apartment, where there is no room for chaos. Disorder is only acceptable in an artist's studio. Sometimes, to create coziness in an apartment with your own hands, it’s enough to just do general cleaning. This activity is not for everyone, but the result of the effort is worth it. You can often see real chaos even in your own home. Don't be scared and give up. You need to act like this.

  • First of all, it is recommended to conduct an audit and get rid of unnecessary things. Old junk that lies like a dead weight not only takes up precious square meters, but also creates a lot of inconvenience. Clothes and shoes that have not been worn for a long time, faulty household appliances, papers, boxes, etc. are “killers” of comfort.
  • The face of a cozy apartment is the kitchen. If it is not sparkling clean, and new life has appeared in the refrigerator, you will have to roll up your sleeves and bring everything to a shine.
  • Well-maintained plumbing fixtures, polished faucets and a splash-free mirror - that’s what’s nice to see when tidying up in the morning.
  • Wardrobes and chests of drawers crammed to capacity with crumpled items deprive their owners of the opportunity to quickly find a clean pair of socks. It's great to open a door or pull out a drawer and find neat stacks of clothes and ironed shirts on hangers.
  • People spend a significant part of their lives in bed. Fresh bed linen, soft pillows and a light blanket is a well-deserved reward at the end of each day.
  • The hallway, the floor of which is filled with shoes for different seasons, is not pleasing to the eye. It is better to keep each pair in a separate box and take it out according to the time of year.

Having finished once and for all with the accumulated mess, maintaining cleanliness will become very simple, because ordinary wet cleaning does not take much time.

Interior

Major renovations and buying new furniture are not affordable for everyone. Yes, this is not necessary! If the condition of the walls, floors and plumbing is not critical, it is quite possible to get by inexpensively cosmetic repairs. Today, the building materials market pleases customers with such a rich assortment of products that it will not be difficult to choose inexpensive wallpaper and paint to update the room and furniture.

Color, texture, style are a matter of taste. It is important that the renovation is done carefully, environmentally friendly, and that the selected shades are in harmony and not “arguing” with each other. Of course, create comfort in new apartment much easier than remodeling the interior of an old one: you don’t need to remove old wallpaper and paint, or move furniture. But how nice it is to refresh your favorite home, make it play with new colors! Recommendations:

  • for painting ceilings and walls in the bathroom and kitchen, water-dispersed paint is perfect acrylic base; it allows moisture to pass through well, is resistant to abrasion and looks great even on an imperfect surface;
  • before you start wallpapering, it is advisable to prime the wall; this will reduce glue consumption and ensure reliable adhesion of the material to the plane;
  • for painting cast iron radiators For heating, it is better to use good old oil paint - it has excellent anti-corrosion properties and costs mere pennies.

When the walls and ceilings shine with newness, it’s time to move on to the next stage of creating a cozy atmosphere in the house. To do this you will have to use your imagination and be creative.

Details

Little things are what life actually consists of. Pleasant ones lift your spirits, while all others irritate. Trying to surround ourselves with cute objects, we create comfort in the house with our own hands.

  • Indoor plants. Nothing brings life to an apartment more than well-groomed flowers in beautiful flowerpots. It doesn’t matter what kind, flowering or just greenery, they please the eye and decorate the house, and even clean the air in the room, saturating it with oxygen. If you have no experience in caring for flowers, you can always purchase cute and unpretentious plants by asking the seller for advice.
  • Comfort in a relaxation room is often associated with a plump sofa or deep chair and a soft blanket. Why not get a rocking chair? Place a small table nearby, a bowl of fruit and a few good books.
  • Home clothes and shoes. Let it be not only comfortable and pleasant to the touch, but also new and beautiful. Cast-offs belong in the trash can.
  • Dishes for every day. Are you used to taking out the ceremonial plates before your guests arrive? Down with this relic of the past! The habit of beautifully setting the table will make even ordinary pasta tastier and life more elegant.
  • Paintings, panels, photographs in frames. Let your favorite faces smile at you from the walls, let beautiful landscapes inspire you, and let your own handmade make you proud.

When planning how to create comfort in your home, you should pay maximum attention to all these little things, because they will surround you every day of your life.

The scent of comfort

Sometimes, when you walk into someone's house, you smell an unpleasant odor. It doesn't matter what it is - cigarettes, stale food or an uncleaned hamster cage. I want to leave the room as soon as possible.

Important: the house must be ventilated every day!

Fresh air not only displaces unpleasant odors, but also improves well-being and reduces fatigue. But available funds, creating a wonderful aroma in the rooms:

  • Cinnamon is good for the kitchen - it smells amazing and very cozy;
  • in the bedroom, orange or lemon peels, crushed and placed in a sachet, will be useful;
  • In the living room you can put a vase with coffee beans.

It is better not to use chemical air fresheners, especially if there are children in the house. And the most important cozy aroma is the smell of cleanliness and delicious home-cooked food. Everyone loves him.

Not enough space?

Alas, not everyone is lucky enough to have a spacious living space. But also in one-room apartment you can feel comfortable! In this case, it is very important to properly organize the space in the room.

The basic rules are:

  • Nothing extra! Donate, sell or throw away anything you don't use regularly! An exception may be repair tools.
  • Invest in a tall, spacious closet. It may cost a pretty penny, but its depths will fit your entire wardrobe and even shoes.
  • The sleeping place should be foldable, turning into a compact sofa during the day.

All this will help you win a few extra (or necessary) square meters. But you can visually enlarge the room like this:

  • use light colors for decoration;
  • make sure that the ceiling is perfectly smooth and white;
  • paint the window frames white;
  • leave minimal decorations on the walls;
  • do not overload the interior with details;
  • Don't keep things in sight that can be put away.

Designers, when deciding how to create comfort in a small apartment, suggest using mirrors. Special attention copies with a picture deserve. Patterns created by craftsmen on mirror surface, make this essential household item a luxurious interior decoration.

Floor to ceiling mirror in wooden frame“antique” or framed by indoor plants can completely transform even the most small room, giving it depth. Attention! The mirror must be perfectly clean; splashes and stains kill all the magic.

The smaller the room, the more neatly it should be cleaned. And to create comfort there is one more technique.

Zoning

It was invented so that even in a small room there would be room for at least two. Division into zones is not the construction of additional walls. Most often it is conditional, but this method works perfectly.

  • The most common technique is decorative wall decoration in different colors, using different textures in order to delineate the boundaries between zones of the same room. For example, in a common living room there may be several functional areas: working ( computer desk, office chair), relaxation area (sofa, bookshelf), playroom (soft rug and toy box).
  • Lightweight folding accordion screens are sometimes used. With their help, you can define the boundaries more clearly, but such devices still take up space.
  • Interesting design solution- screen made of beads. It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to buy something like this, but you can make it yourself or order it from a craftsman. A unique author's item will come out. Long nylon threads studded with transparent or colored (or different) beads look luxurious.

Windows

It’s not for nothing that they are called the eyes of the house. Clean glass, freshly painted or new frames are only half the battle. Curtains are of enormous importance. They must be clean and perfectly ironed, unless “wrinkled” fabric is used according to the design intent.

Floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall curtains visually expand the room. The effect is enhanced if a light tone is selected that is in harmony with the overall color scheme of the room.

Lighting

An elegant chandelier in the living room, an elegant floor lamp near the sofa, a nice lampshade in the kitchen or original multifunctional lighting throughout the apartment - all this can become a highlight in the interior of your apartment.

Comfort in the home is the fruit of care and work. The chic shine of a hotel suite and someone else's luxury always fade against the background of the sweet simplicity of a well-groomed home.

Returning home from work, a person wants to go into a cozy apartment where happiness, warmth, comfort, and harmony reign. Not feeling comfortable in own apartment- start acting! Depends on actions home comfort. The house must be safe first and foremost. easy to create.

Today on the website "Dream House" most interesting topic about how to create comfort in your home and surround your family with order and well-organized everyday life.

Before we start creating coziness in the house, let's decide on the main directions that we will follow in the process of remodeling. You need to understand that even the most fashionable renovation and expensive furniture will not give the apartment expressiveness and individuality. It would probably be wrong to say that it’s the little things that create coziness in a home, but in some cases this is exactly the case - homemade trinkets, embroidered paintings and panels, hand-sewn towels give the room that very zest without which the apartment seems faceless. So we have derived the basic formula of comfort - the presence of “soul” in the living space. Now let's see how to make your home more comfortable.

We use textiles to create home comfort

Having caught fire with the idea of ​​renovating an apartment, every housewife immediately thinks of textiles. It is with its help that you can give a living room a certain mood without major alterations and long-lasting repairs. Start with the curtains. It's a wonderful way to breathe air into a room. new life and make it more comfortable. Curtains with frills, flounces and folds look cute. An excellent option that will allow the room to give a furnished look is to use. And in general, soft drapery is best way add comfort to the room.

On sofas and armchairs is another way to add a little comfort to your living space. Delicate and pleasant to the touch fabrics with which the upholstered furniture will be covered will do their job and give the room peace. The main thing is to choose a fabric color that is not too bright, which “hurts” the eye and brings a bit of aggressiveness into the room. On the contrary, the atmosphere should relax residents and guests of the house and put them in a lyrical mood.

But what is allowed to be bright is this. Scattered across the sofa, they will not only become bright accent in the cozy interior of the house, but also, thanks to their softness, will add comfort to it. And in general, everything that can be soft, from a fluffy carpet to a teddy bear, brings calm and comfort to the home.

Since we are talking about carpets, we need to dwell in more detail on this “point” of our unique rating of eye-catching things. Even if you already have a luxurious carpet on the floor, add a few more bright rugs to the interior, for example, in front of the entrance to the living room or kitchen, in the hallway or in the bathroom. Firstly, it is pleasant to walk on such rugs with bare feet, and secondly, they dilute the homogeneous interior and help it gain individuality.

Coziness and comfort in the home

And one more cozy idea for the home concerns updating furniture, namely the use of textile covers for chairs. You can sew them yourself or purchase ready-made ones; the main thing is to choose the right color and texture of the fabric in order to fit the updated furniture into the room as accurately as possible. Even the strict one will come to life if you put it on the chairs beautiful cases with a chic bow at the back, and the country style will be made even more homely by burlap chair covers embroidered with multi-colored patterns.

How to create comfort in your home: more light and oxygen

An easy way to transform a room is to use several types of lighting in the room. Cozy lamps, sconces and soft and warm light will add beauty to the house and transform it into better side. By the way, it is quite difficult to make a dark room comfortable, but with the help of wall sconces you can “revive” even the darkest corridor.

You've probably noticed how easy it is to breathe in greenhouses and parks? We recommend that you arrange something similar in your apartment. A beautiful green corner on shelves and with leaves of different sizes and formats will refresh any interior and make it more calm. Of course, indoor plants will bring joy only to those owners who love to care for them. Otherwise, it is better not to implement this idea at all and replace them with cut flowers in vases.

Cozy, cute little things “domesticate” the interior

Probably the most home interior obtained when decorating a room in a rustic style. And this style, as you know, is determined by accessories. Everything that is made with your own hands or at least vaguely resembles hand-made things will come in handy here. These are all kinds of baskets, knitted blankets, tiles near the fireplace or in the kitchen, cross-stitched or crocheted napkins, bunches of dry grass hung on the walls, homespun paths, earthenware and pottery on the shelves, as well as all kinds of figurines, vases, boxes, decorative candles . True, with a large number of items displayed on the shelves decorative elements It is quite difficult to maintain order in the house, but this task is quite doable for modern housewives.

Creating comfort in the home

How to make your home more comfortable

Photos in frames will also enliven the interior, especially since joyful and beloved faces will look at you from the photo. It doesn’t matter whether you make the frames yourself or buy ready-made ones, it is important that they are made in the same style; if, for example, you choose, then let them be decorated with pebbles and made in blue and white tones.

Creating coziness in your home with your own hands is much more pleasant than buying a ready-made floorboard or a painted tray, but not everyone knows how to craft, sew and embroider. Therefore, in some cases, purchasing a ready-made souvenir is much easier than going through the trouble of trying to reproduce a masterpiece.

And the next idea will decorate even a small cozy home in the style of minimalism. Transparent round vases can be filled with decorative stones. They can be plain, multi-colored and even have an inscription. Such vases are usually placed on shelves and coffee tables, the main thing here is to harmoniously combine the shade of decorative elements with the color scheme of the room.

It's very cozy in a house with a fireplace. Even if it's small apartment, the cute charm of the room will be given not by a real one, but by an electric one. And if there are logs crackling in it, then on quiet winter evenings such a living room will definitely gather everyone at home over a cup of tea.
