Cosy by the fireplace in a warm interior
The days are getting shorter and colder and winter is clearly in the country. This calls for hours of shamelessly watching Christmas films in front of the crackling fireplace wearing thick woolly socks. It's time for retreating into your own house or flat and escaping the outside world for a while. So you have every reason to transform your home into a cosy, warm place where you'll enjoy spending time during the winter months.
Cocooning together
Light the fireplace, put your feet up on the sofa and switch on the cosy lights: that's cocooning. To make your home cocoon-proof, you need to pay attention to a few things:
Getting fired-up
A fireplace can instantly turn your home into a cosy warm place. It's inspiring to watch the dancing flames. The authenticity of an open fire with crackling logs and the wonderful smell of wood makes for a wonderful experience. The radiant heat on your body is simply wonderful.
Don't have a fireplace? Then choose candles. In the cold winter months, these flickering flames are essential. Would you like to make the atmosphere complete? Then opt for scented candles that stimulate an extra sense.
Putting ambient lighting in the right places can also make a big change to your interior. For example, it's very important to place a Christmas tree with lights and shiny balls, they'll reflect the light beautifully. Furnified's table and hanging lamps will also immediately bring ambience into your home.
Cosy textile
Place cuddly cushions on your sofa so you can sink into them and dream away, choose a cosy rug and curtains that allow you to really forget the outside world for a minute. The soft and fluffy blankets by Furnified, made from mohair, are super trendy.
Do you want to bring the winter spirit into your living room? Then place a sheepskin in front of the fireplace and imagine yourself in a winter wonderland. A touch of après-ski is instantly present.
The Christmas table
A not unimportant part of your winter interior: a cosy Christmas table. After all, a beautifully set table with a beautiful selection of dishes makes every meal extra tasty. An open fire next to the Christmas table will make it a very dreamy scene!
Warm shades
Everything you bring into your home should have a warm tone. A warm colour palette contributes 100% to a cosy and comfortable feeling in your house or flat. Gold, brown, terracotta, taupe and beige are a good choice. Wooden furniture is ideal as it provides warmth in combination with all interior styles.
