What to do to warm the atmosphere?

.

It is obvious that the decoration and the atmosphere of your house will not prevent you from having to use a heater. But contrary to what one might think, choosing a comforting and cocooning decoration will allow you to feel warm and calm. This feeling will make you comfortable.

. First of all, you must:

- Bet on natural materials, with warm colors and irregular textures.

- Play with the superposition of fabrics, textures and thicknesses.

- Add cushions, thicker curtains, throws or rugs.

- Have fun with warm lights, and garlands.

- Use vegetation, natural or artificial plants.

What materials?

.

Natural materials are popular for warming the interior of a house. Wood, a chameleon that goes with all styles; rattan, a timeless item that delights decorating enthusiasts; wicker, the little one that makes a sensational entrance into our interiors.

For example, opt for wicker, a living material that keeps coming back to the fore... Very inexpensive, you will find small baskets for only ten euros. Or wall decorations, very popular this year.

Thus, for a few euros, you will have additional storage. You can put plaids, books and cushions there. The more you add, the warmer your living room will be. Play with the sizes, colors and shapes of your baskets. The result will only be more personal and welcoming.

. Do not hesitate to clutter your interior more. Unoccupied spaces give the feeling of emptiness and coldness.

You can also choose wood, which is a safe bet. But the goal is not to ruin yourself, choose wood if you really want to modify your interior, and in the long term.

.

What colors?

.

Warm colors are obviously those of predilection. Moreover, the shade very present in the 2023 trend is mustard yellow. A cheerful and shimmering color that warms hearts and your interiors.

To integrate color at a lower cost, the best solution is to accessorize. Cushions, plaids, vases, frames... All means are good to add this touch of color.

.For an even more WOW effect, make a shades of color. That is, a gradient of the same color, but with lighter or darker tints or shades. A sure success.

No need to change your cushions, buy only covers that can be washed and changed as many times as you want. Count around 5 euros for a mustard yellow cover.

.

.

What textiles?

.

To provide even more warmth in all your rooms, use textiles. Plaids, curtains, cushions, carpets... The effect of thickness on your sofa, your armchairs or your bed will give a cocooning effect.

Play with different materials. Wool, hair, fake furs and other textures will make you want to settle down there. A real comfort when the temperatures only invite you to dive under your duvet.

. Nothing better than this feeling of immersing yourself in cotton. A real cocoon of well-being. For even more comfort, choose a very thick, very soft and light-coloured carpet.

Plaids sell for around 15-20 euros, while rugs fluctuate around 70 euros. Count 30 euros for a pair of very thick curtains.

.

.

What light?

.

It is recognized that lighting is an integral part of decoration. Depending on the intensity of the brightness, the color and the size, you will give different moods.

As far as we are concerned, it is of course preferable to choose warm lights. Associate with a natural structure, you will get the winning combo. A rattan table lamp, a warm light bulb and you're done. The more light you add; garlands, lamps or floor lamps, the more you will have this feeling of warmth and appeasement.

.Candles will also bring you comfort. By focusing on small light sources, in every corner of your room, you will feel relaxed, with this feeling of softness and tranquility.

Although the chimney fire is warmer, it is not given to everyone to have a chimney. You can, for a few euros, buy a light garland. While a rattan lamp sells for around 40 euros. And if you want to change your bulbs for warm light, count 3 euros per bulb.

How to reuse your purchases over the seasons?

.

We have seen that, for around 250 euros, you can change your interior with simple, effective transformations that do not involve you in major work. Making your home even more welcoming, warm and comforting is within everyone's reach. You don't have to be an expert interior designer to change your decor every season.

Now that you've geared up for winter, the question is, once the season is over, what are you going to do with it all?

Wicker baskets: Nothing could be simpler, to use as fruit and vegetable storage in your kitchen. Or for beach or pool towels. A storage basket is useful both in winter and in summer or spring. It's your turn !

Cushion covers: You can either store them for the following winter. Being very small, it is not difficult to find a place for them in your cupboards.

Throws: Speaking of cushions, it's a clever way to reuse your big winter throws. With a very simple folding, all you have to do is tuck them into your cushion covers.
