1 Establish books on the shelves
As a rule, books on the shelves we put tightly to each other, especially if there are many of them. But when they stand in different ways: horizontally and vertically, under the tilt - it makes the interior volume and adds comfort.Rules of grouping books
- In color. One shelf can be red, the other is blue, the third is green. Look at the work of interior stylists, it is one of their secret techniques.
- To size. Put the books horizontally: downstairs - the biggest, then smaller, upstairs - the finest.
- Remove the publication in a soft binding. Inexpensive books in a small cover and all kinds of booklets in plain form create a feeling of "zamorstitude" of the cabinet. It is not necessary to throw out, just fold them into a beautiful box.
2 Serve the table in the kitchen
Even if you are not waiting for guests and are not going to dine, do not leave the table in the kitchen empty. Let it be served napkins and vases with flowers, fruit, vases with cookies or candy - it will make your kitchen cozy.
Refuse plastic products, including tablecloths and napkins. Replace them on products from raffia, straw and natural flax fabrics and cotton.
3 Lay out on the charged bed pillows and blankets
The multi-layeredness is relevant for the last few seasons. Do not leave the furniture empty - let the bed will be several pillows of different sizes, as well as casually laid placed plaid.
Special attention is paid to the recreation area: sofa and chairs. Arrange your corner on your favorite place, add the bedspread and pillows in color.
If there is an armrest, you can find a portable table for tea and coffee. Read here a book with a hot drink mug will be much more comfortable.
4 Arrange the flowers
And do not forget about living green plants. Try to always fill the house with flowers - they help create comfort and stand quite inexpensively.Plant Sweeping Tips
- In the spacious room, select a large spreader plant or even a bush! Ficus, monster, palm tree or shooting.
- Cacti and succulents should not be set alone, they look great in the group.
- If the plant is not very pretty in itself (bare trunk, rare leaves) Pick it up with an intricate or unusual kashpo, let it balance it.
By the way, cut flowers and bouquets can be collected independently, for example, from garden colors and twigs. What is important? Follow the season: in the spring will be appropriate, for example, hyacinths, tulips and mimosa, in summer - wildflowers, autumn - hydrangea, Dalia and Chrysanthemums, and in winter - Amarillis and cyclamen.
Live flowers can replace drywheels: fluffy pampas grass, stylish Lunaria. By the way, the drywheels in the interior are also a fashionable reception.
5 Add decor-lettering
Actual today letter posters and pillowcases on pillows can really make the house more cozy. Especially if the words correspond to your nature and life position.Other options for leting

- It looks great that neon inscriptions look, they fit into modern interiors.
6 Get rid of small decor
Meaningless figurines, vases and another decor is not a place on shelves racks in your apartment. Spend a revision. But do not buy the product immediately instead. Things in your apartment must talk about you, about your hobbies and character.
Note: Small products do not create color spots and volume, they strongly "litter" appearance. So you can also get rid of without regret.
7 Collect things from different countries
Try to bring something from travel, but not only banal magnets on the refrigerator. Pictures are suitable, posters - they can be issued in their own gallery. Are you interested in photography? Excellent! Print especially successful frames and hang on the wall! They can be decorated in the same frames or, on the contamination, give the will of fantasy in different ways.
8 Do it yourself with your own hands for comfort in the house
Try to make something yourself. For example, you can buy an old shelf for books or a small table and give them a new life, repaint or painting.
9 Do not leave the coffee table empty
The interior does not like meaningless emptiness. Such small but noticeable things like a stack of magazines on the table, a decanter with water or vase, make it completed.
10 Put the wicker baskets
They are convenient to keep places, magazines. Such things really look warm and cozy. In addition, they cost quite inexpensively and definitely won't damage your budget. An alternative to the basket can be a braided box with a lid.
11 beds on the floor carpets
Today these items are relevant again. Choose monochrome carpets or with a geometric pattern, in style ethno or, on the contrary, more stringent.
12 Store bathroom towels in the pile
You may be surprised, but such simple things also add comfort and make the interior more interesting. Choose a towel of one color, preferably white or any other pastel shade.
13 Make compositions from candles
How to create comfort in the house? Buy candles. It is better to buy several products of different sizes in one style. Especially spectacularly look at items in complex colors: Bordeaux, mustard, dirty pink. And whites are a little simple interior.
In addition, you can pick up different candlesticks and make a whole collection.
14 Hang new curtains on the windows
Empty windows have recently gain popularity, but, no matter how cool, windows with curtains look more cozy. Choose simple materials: cotton, flax, lightweight tulle. However, roll-curtains are suitable, and Roman - any curtains create a sense of security.
15 Make cleaning on time
Nothing spoils the living space as a mess. He is the main enemy of the interior. Keep order: let each thing be your place, wipe the dust, spend wet cleaning and do not allow dirt in the kitchen and in the bathroom.
However, you should not create an absolutely sterile situation. For example, the plaid or pillow in a chaotic order, carelessly per capped over the back of the sofa, on the contrary, will say that the room is alive.
16 Keep products in beautiful containers and banks
Ware for storage is also decorating your apartment. And even something that is not always in sight (on the table or on open shelves), it must be stored beautifully. So you will settle the feeling of real coziness.
Choose containers from living materials, such as tin, straw or felt. They have more charm than in plastic products.
17 Hide household chemicals in closed boxes
Life spoil the picture is no less than the mess. Most bottles and cans with household chemicals and cosmetics that we use in the bathroom and in the kitchen are bright colors, and they do not fit the interior, they do not cozy. Hide them into closed cabinets or replace on monophonic vessels - now in the assortments of home markets, quite a variety of dispensers. You can also make them yourself, for example, from under medicinal jars.
18 Do not forget about the lighting
It also plays an important role and helps to create comfort. Let you in each room there will be several lighting scenarios. For example, the overall light in the living room, the flooring of the chairs for reading and a table lamp at the sofa.
What device will make any room truly cozy? Garland! Meld light bulbs in retro-style around the edge of the mirror or place with their help the cornice at the curtains - the feeling of warmth will not make himself wait long.
19 Add flavors
There is nothing more pleasant than to have a fragrance at home. There are several options: use aromatic candles, sachet or special diffuser. It looks like a bottle with liquid - actually aroma - and reed chopsticks included, which are inserted into the container. The more chopsticks you use, the brighter the fragrance. Diffusers for home can be found both in brands in the mass market and in the suite segment.
Sasha is different: in the form of small pads or petals and berries that can be filled with a vase.
20 Use the seasonal decor
Do not be lazy to decorate an apartment for holidays, be it new year, March 8 or Easter. The abundance of such a decor does not make the interior worse, but even on the contrary. For example, on the New Year, you can not be limited to the Christmas tree, but to decorate the house with a cozy coniferous composition made by your own hands, and garlands made of branches, to hang a christmas wreath on the entrance door. These traditions came to us from the West, where the abundant decor is a mandatory part of preparing for the holidays.
