A cozy atmosphere for this winter
It’s almost winter, and the temperatures are dropping sharply. It is therefore time to redecorate its interior in order to create a cozy and cocooning atmosphere for its interior!
What could be better than feeling like you’re in a cocoon to spend the snowflake season?
Scandinavian decoration is the best way to bring a cozy atmosphere to your interior.
But if this is not the style of your apartment or your house, you can very well recreate a cocooning atmosphere thanks to these 7 tips from our decorators.
TIP N°1: Multiply textiles
Plaids, symbols of the cozy atmosphere
A winter must-have for feeling warm at home, the plaid! Or rather THE plaids. Because to perfectly create a cozy atmosphere in your interior, it is necessary to arrange several throws here and there.
Also dare the plaids of different colors to be able to vary the pleasures. It will also bring warmth to your apartment or house, which badly needs it to get through the winter.
Indeed, with the temperatures dropping, spending the evening on your sofa becomes complicated if our feet are not warm. What could be sweeter and more comforting than slipping under your plaid to be able to spend an evening worthy of the name.
We therefore encourage you to have them everywhere in your home, several on your sofa, one on your bed, another on your armchair. Believe us, the more throws there are, the more cocooning your interior will be.
Carpets, to transform a room
One thing you don’t necessarily think about to give your interior a cozy atmosphere: carpets.
And yet, a beautiful carpet has the power to transform a bland and heatless room into a welcoming and cocooning room. It’s all about choosing the shape, color and material of your rug, but believe us, it’s essential for a cozy atmosphere.
The cushions
Maybe throw pillows are negligible, but there’s nothing like a nice assortment of throw pillows to adorn your sofa or bed.
Do not hesitate to vary the patterns and colors to create a cocoon in your apartment or your house.
TIP N°2: Vary the materials
Velvet
A material that we dare too much can wear in its interior, velvet. And yet, it is a very interesting material that will highlight any piece of furniture.
Indeed, a magnificent cozy sofa or a velvet armchair will stand out wonderfully in your apartment.
In addition, it is a material that goes very well with everything. It will bring out the colors and patterns of your cushions as well as the softness of your throws.
One thing is certain, a touch of velvet in your interior can only bring warmth and comfort.
It is a perfect material for a cozy atmosphere that will also go perfectly with linen or cotton.
Fake fur
Whether on your clothes or on your plaids, faux fur is unanimous. It is a material which, even more than velvet, brings warmth and creates a relaxing atmosphere in your interior.
We advise you not to abuse it. A single faux fur plaid on your armchair can very well have its effect while remaining in sobriety, or one or two cushion covers will also reinforce a cozy atmosphere.
Curly wool
Another rather special material that you don’t see everywhere, curly wool is making a comeback.
As with velvet, curly wool will perfectly highlight the piece of furniture that will wear it. We also advise you not to overload and choose only one. A beautiful armchair, or even a pretty coffee table. Wherever it is placed, curly wool brings softness and comfort. It is a material that you want to touch or appropriate by sitting on it.
TIP N°3: Vary the colors
Warm colors
What could be softer and warmer than warm colors to brighten up your interior and create a cozy atmosphere at home.
Warm up your living room with a pretty terracotta, dress your bed in a comforting beige set, arrange a few yellow or orange cushions to brighten up your sofa. One thing is certain, warm colors are your best allies to spend this winter by your fireplace.
The timeless white
And its variants
Ah the white… It’s seen and seen again, you will tell us. Know that the shades of white are endless.
And for good reason, you can abuse it, because white, cream or off- white are colors that attract light and harmonize a room. They go with everything and will create a warm and comforting ambiance for any room.
The shades to vary the pleasures
For a decoration in rather neutral tones for your cocooning interior, opt for a shades of colors.
Vary the color of your walls with that of your cushions or plaids, harmonize the colors of your frames, add a few decorative objects in a slightly darker shade to make them stand out.
For this winter, we recommend a pretty shades of beige or bold shades of green for your interior. Create a cocoon corner for yourself to have a good time.
TIP N°4: Opt for natural materials
Wood or wood stains
The material that will help you the most to warm up your house or apartment to create a cozy atmosphere is undoubtedly wood.

Highlight this wood with a pretty light paint for your walls or by matching your wooden furniture with your already existing wood. Go for colection at Homary!

Rattan and wicker

Right now, the wicker trend is mostly about hanging chairs. Perfect for a rest or reading corner, adopt this seat for your interior which will bring charm and character.
In the same genre as wicker, rattan is also a material that will fit perfectly into your interior.
We advise you to place it in small doses, for example on your suspensions in your kitchen or for your shelves.

There is another way to simulate the heat in your interior: lighting moods. And for that, we have the solution: opt for lighting that can change color to vary the moods and illuminate your room.
TIP N°7: Multiply the light sources
Candles more candles
The timeless candles. We could only advise you to add them everywhere in your interior. Indirect light sources, candles have a cocooning side, perfect for a cozy atmosphere.
