5 Simple Tips to Make Your Home Beautiful and Cozy Without Renovation

How to make your apartment perfect with minimal costs so that you want to come back again and again? We've gathered five simple tips that will change your perception of interior design and help improve your home.

1. Textiles

The easiest thing you can do is add textiles. A fluffy carpet on the floor, a warm woolen blanket, and a bunch of cushions are invaluable in cold weather. Textiles at the windows are also welcome. Replace summer curtains with soft heavy drapes in the interior color. Thus, terracotta or coffee-colored curtains will beautifully let in cold sunny rays. These tones will bring warmth and coziness to the interior.Design: Astar project

2. Lighting

The more lighting scenarios in the room, the better! There is never too much light, especially in winter, so don't limit yourself to just a chandelier. Find a place for a floor lamp, table lamp, or portable LED light. Now is the time to decorate the room with garlands, glowing panels, and candles. Such decor is useful for various occasions and doesn't have to be taken down after the holiday.Design: Elina Bogomolova

3. Flowers and Indoor Plants

If you haven't used this method yet, try starting now. Buy a plant you like and plant it in an attractive pot. Start taking care of it, and in return, it will give your home not only coziness but also clean air. Indoor plants promote good sleep and a great mood. But there are a few nuances. Place them safely so that pets don't knock them over and hurt themselves. Consider any allergies among household members.

4. Country Decor

Strange as it may sound, the simplest and most natural country textures make a city interior feel warm and cozy. For example, wicker baskets for storage, rattan chairs, jute or cotton carpets, and even portable oil lamps. When you enter such an interior, you want to wrap yourself in a blanket in that very chair and watch the glowing fire in the fireplace. By the way, there are small models of home hearths that can be placed on a coffee table and enjoyed for their flame.Design: Olga Irtuganova and Natalia Stroitelева

5. Tableware

A beautiful cup makes tea taste better — a proven fact. Just start treating yourself every day! Don't save the nice dishes for holidays, use them now. Then each day of your life will be filled with small joys. To avoid drinking tea alone, invite friends and family. That way, you can chat, watch movies, and discuss holiday plans in a cozy company.
