The cozy living trend transforms your home into a cuddly paradise. And makes sure that we even look forward to the cold season!
When it's gray and wet outside, you want to hide inside. And this living trend ensures that we are even looking forward to it! Cozy Living is the name of the furnishing style that turns the greatest free spirit into a couch potato. Because your home is now very cozy.
The Scandinavians are experts in cozy living. This is no coincidence: up there, winter is even colder and darker than we are used to from rainy northern Germany. It is all the more important to have a room in which you feel comfortable. Coming home with pleasure is what counts in the cozy living trend. And if we look at the examples like this, it can happen that we no longer want to leave our home!
Try coziness
How do we bring the cozy living trend home? By letting in everything that feels good. We have a few guidelines for you so that your home does not become a Villa Villekulla (unless you wish it for yourself). But you can fully live it up when it comes to color and style! That's the great thing about Cozy Living – after all, you should feel most comfortable personally.
The three W's of Cozy Living
Put on wool
A wool runner works wonders! It doesn't have to be real sheepskin. Sheep's wool is now also available in good quality imitation. Another alternative is cotton. Chunky blankets and carpets not only feel great, they also give the room a warmer climate. But if you like it more colorful, you can also rely on grandma's Persian carpet. It's just celebrating its comeback …
Soft pillows
You can never have enough pillows. Put them on the sofa, bed, and chairs. Large cushions made of soft material ensure that you can let yourself go completely. Seat cushions also make the room more comfortable. Deep, flat sofas with long seats invite you to linger.
Warm colours
There are no limits to colors at Cozy Living. However, you should make sure that you choose warm tones. For example, if you like red, opt for a darker shade. Do you like to know, use cream colors. You can use subtle splashes of color to set beautiful accents and orient yourself to the autumn colors 2019. By the way, fairy lights and candles make colors shine again and also provide a warm light source!
Cozy Living: Cheers for cosiness
One final secret of the cozy living trend: try to appeal to multiple senses. We see warm colors, feel cozy materials and smell … soothing scents! If you like, incorporate scented candles, aromatic oils, or just dried lavender into the room. Choose unobtrusive scents that are personally relaxing for you. These can also be normal beeswax candles that smell of winter and childhood when they burn down. We'll cuddle up then …
