It’s a little cold and grey here in Sweden right now, is it the same where you are? If so, no fear! I’ve got a tried and tested round-up of five simple ways to max up the mysig and create the cosiest of cosy corners! Prepare to feel toasty…
1. Add natural textures: think raw or handcrafted materials. Here, the imperfections and patina in the and clay plant pot add interest and instant warmth.
2. Books and magazines: So simple yet oh so cosy. I’m thinking chunky knit socks, a cup of tea and a good read. Plus switching off your screen and going analogue is said to be perfect for R&R! Who’s with me on this?
3. Layer on the textiles: where would a cosy corner be without , a load of cushions and a ? Loving the fringes and warm, muted tones too!
4. Go green (or brown!): As – plants breath life into a home. Whether you prefer to go for a big and bushy , a delicate and small potted friend or an entire – plants will bring soul to your space!
5. Get a glow on: It’s getting dark so early in Sweden (and some days the sun barely comes out at all) so good lighting is essential (especially if I want to read those magos!). I’m so pleased with this it looks lovely by day and brightens up the darkest of corners (which in our case is under the stairs) by night – yay!
