Having a cosy, comfortable home makes for enjoyable living. We have five tips that will help you create a warm, inviting home that will make you never want to leave!<\/p>\n

1.     Warm Colours<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The effects of colour on the mood of a room is significant! For a cosier ambiance, steer away from bright, glaring colours and go for warmer shades like oranges, muted yellows, and neutral browns.<\/p>\n

If your interior design is modern or contemporary, incorporate metals like copper, bronze, brass or rose gold into your d\u00e9cor. Warm metals can instantly enliven a cold room while keeping with the modern theme. An easy and affordable option is to display copper decorative objects or everyday items. You can also use a copper coloured spray paint to transform pieces you already have.<\/p>\n

2.     Warm Lighting<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lighting is a key aspect in setting ambiance. Switch out cool-toned bulbs for warm ones to instantly add a cosy vibe to the room. The trick to having a subtle, warm glow in your home is separate lights. Avoid having a single source of bright light which will create a harsh look. Instead, go for multiple lamps throughout the room with dimmers that allow you to control how many lights are on and to adjust the intensity of light for a soft, inviting atmosphere.<\/p>\n

3.     Natural Elements<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The inside-out interior concept has been a popular trend recently for a good reason! Nature brings life into a space, so be sure to bring in elements from outside.<\/p>\n

The easiest way to make a living indoors feel like outdoors is to add plant life to your home. Large leafy plants like the rubber tree or the snake plant make a welcoming statement and freshen the air. Some low maintenance options are air plants, cacti or succulents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another natural element is real wood which creates a luxurious and inviting atmosphere. Wood floors and doors are a common way to introduce texture to a home. An easier option would be to go for wooden venetian blinds<\/a> that are sophisticated and add a relaxed feel to a room. Adjust the slats to filter out daylight for soft lighting and a cosy environment.<\/p>\n

4.     Curtains<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Curtains<\/a> lined across the walls will radically transform the atmosphere of a room, making it feel grand and warm at the same time. Generally, lighter coloured curtains create a spacious aspect while dark curtains make a room a more intimate and restful space. We recommend opting for two layers of full-length curtains for versatility. Night curtains will reduce heat and glare while day curtains will diffuse and enhance the sunlight to create a welcoming space.<\/p>\n

5.     Layers of Fabric<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nothing says cosy & comfortable like comfy layers of fabric in the home. While carpet flooring may not be suitable for Singapore’s humid climate, a few strategically-placed small rugs can create a similar effect of cosiness with a soft touch to the feet. Layer soft blankets and throws over sofas and chairs, or frame textiles as wall art. Fuzzy fabrics like faux fur are especially cosy!<\/p>\n
