Cozy isn't a style but a feeling, the homey ambiance of a room that makes us want to curl up, relax and cocoon ourselves from the world. A living room might feel cozy because of its architecture and proportions, like a snug Victorian sitting room or cottage interior. Or it might feel cozy because it's furnished with plenty of comfy seating options for friends and family; decorated with warm colors; layered with sensual textures like fluffy pillows and soft throws; crammed with books and personal objects; warmly lit or possessed of a real or faux fireplace. There is no single recipe for what makes a space feel cozy—that depends on individual tastes and sensibilities. Just remember that it doesn't take a big budget to create a cozy living room, just a little bit of heart.
Here are some examples of various ways to create a cozy living room no matter your budget or style.

how to make a home cozy and hospitable
The cozy atmosphere of housing envelops you with warmth, gives you a good mood, gives you the opportunity to relax after a hard day and makes you want to return home. If the room is uncomfortable to be in, you should think about changing the situation. There are especially cozy home interior styles that put the creation of a welcoming, relaxing environment at the forefront. Today we will talk about them, as well as show some simple tricks that can be implemented even without costly repairs.
TOP-3 cozy home interior styles
When creating an interior, it is advisable to stick to one style, otherwise there is a risk that all the details will not be organically combined. The basic rules of modern design are simplicity, elegance and functionality. And comfort can be achieved with the help of home decor, skillfully placed in space.
Let's take a look at some of the coziest home decor styles.
Scandinavian style
Scandinavian style means restraint. The interior is decorated in light colors, mostly white and beige. To dilute the coldness of the situation, use a few bright details. It can be a knitted blanket, sofa cushions or a small piece of furniture.
Scandinavian design emphasizes natural light. It is best if you can make panoramic windows that will occupy most of the wall. Curtains are used translucent or they are completely abandoned. When decorating the interior, natural materials are used - rough wood, textiles, glass, metal. The furniture used is ergonomic, with strict clear lines. Details help to add comfort to this style of interior: photo frames, sofa cushions, potted plants on the windows, etc.
Provence
When creating a good house in the Provence style, white and light gray colors are taken as the basis.
Warm pastel shades are also used. Among finishing materials, preference is given to natural or imitating them.
The walls are finished in antique style - it can be craquelure plaster or rough brick. Furniture, interior and even plumbing are also used artificially aged. There are forged elements, including on the lamps. Comfort is created with the help of little things, such as jars for storing bulk products, wall clocks with French landscapes, figurines on the shelves, sconces on the walls.
Contemporary
Restrained, functional and at the same time cozy, contemporary style reminds of luxurious apartments from the 60s. It is ideal for apartments in which repairs are not done from scratch, as it allows you to combine standard furniture from Ikea or Leroy Marlene and unusual interior items inherited from your parents.
Contemporary goes well with a loft. You can make a rough brick finish on one of the walls, attach reminiscent street lamps or paint it with graffiti.
Such deliberate negligence will make the interior more modern, devoid of pretentiousness and pomposity.
What disturbs the comfort in the house
First of all, cleanliness is necessary to create a cozy home interior in any style. Order makes staying indoors comfortable. Dirty marks on the walls and furniture, stains near the doorknobs, scattered things give a messy look to the room. In addition, there are a few little things that ruin the cozy atmosphere:
- Empty space . Minimalism is good in moderation. Too much empty space creates a sterile look, and the room seems uninhabited. If the room is large, pieces of furniture can be placed in the center. This will add neatness and comfort.
- The abundance of dark tones in the interior has a depressing effect on the psyche . To create a cozy home interior style, wallpaper should be chosen in light shades. This will not only give a feeling of comfort, but also visually expand the space.
- Uniformity in the design of the room . A room decorated in the same color scheme looks stylish, but looks more like a hotel room or a magazine photo than a living space. A couple of bright details will give originality and individuality.
- Poor lighting . It is better to choose curtains in light shades so that sunlight enters the room. If good natural lighting is not possible, it is important to properly organize artificial lighting. One lamp in the room to create a cozy home interior in any style may not be enough. An original floor lamp or wall sconce will allow you to comfortably spend the evening with your favorite book, and lit candles will create a romantic atmosphere.
- Bad smell . In addition to decorating the interior of the house in a cozy style, to create a welcoming atmosphere, you need to take care of a pleasant smell. It is necessary to regularly ventilate the room, get rid of garbage and spoiled products in time.
You can use an air freshener with a slight pleasant smell or scented candles. - Mismatched furniture and furnishings create a feeling of clutter and bad taste.
- Lots of unnecessary things. An abundance of trinkets and souvenirs creates a mess and complicates the cleaning process. The same goes for keeping things in plain sight. When creating a cozy interior of a house of any style, boxes and packages should be hidden from prying eyes.
A huge number of things that can turn the house into a cozy nest, you will find in the Lavender Decor online store. We have collected decor, accessories, textiles and dishes in the catalog, thanks to which the interior seems warmer and more individual. Delivery is carried out throughout Russia, and courier delivery is available in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar and Nizhny Novgorod.

Comfort in the house on your own
To change the interior for the better, it is not necessary to buy new furniture and radically change the situation in the apartment.
First of all, it is worth noting the strengths in the design of each room. Then you need to find those aspects that annoy you. For example, people who prefer minimalism cannot comfortably exist in a room crowded with objects that do not carry a semantic load.
Design of a room with a fireplace
Beautiful living room with fireplace
Creating comfort with your own hands is quite simple. Having noted priorities, it is necessary to decorate the house in accordance with the standards of your comfort. You can peep original ideas on the example of modern designers' developments. When rearranging the design of each room should be given special attention. Since accessories and various little things can concentrate comfort, it is quite possible to make many decor elements on your own.
Take advantage of ready-made solutions. Update your interior by refurbishing old upholstered furniture and restoring familiar things that seem like a relic. Complete the rooms with new decor elements, and they will sparkle in a completely different way.
You can organize such a transformation on your own.

Methods and techniques
There are a number of universal recipes to make your home more comfortable. Follow these rules to transform your environment.
- Pay attention to the layout of the rooms in the house and the layout in general. Sometimes a small change can make a big difference. Try to correctly zone the space and divide it in the right places. For example, furnish a bedroom in the farthest and quietest corner of the house, equip a living room if friends often come to you.
- Don't neglect the light. Due to incorrectly selected shades of furniture, walls and coatings, mental dissonance is felt. If such a conflict is eliminated, the room will become more pleasant.
- Don't follow standards. Leave yourself the freedom of mental creativity.
Due to the standard interior and renovation, the value of the living space is lost. Adding bright raisins in metered amounts will only benefit. - Avoid bad taste. The interior is not an arbitrary set of things. Strive for elegance, simplicity and lightness when decorating.
The list of recommendations for each is purely individual, because the rules are a consequence of the tastes and views of a person.

Cozy ideas in colors
Following fashion trends, many people decorate the interior with cold shades: blue, blue, white, powdery, etc. A cozy interior is not compatible with the rigor and conciseness of office design. A competent combination of basic and warm shades will help to improve the situation. For example, if you are a supporter of modernity, then find a balance between rational black and yellow. Then the house will be filled with warmth and become more inviting.
Achieve warmth through the soft colors of furniture and accessories. Don't use strict colors. Make neat transitions between different shades. Separate parts should not merge into a single color scheme. Leave room for bright accents that attract attention. Then the house will not seem boring.

Choosing furniture for home comfort
The priority area of any room is occupied by furniture. The choice of new items becomes a difficulty for people who are not familiar with the intricacies of interior design. By changing the environment, you can:
- reconstruct old furniture;
- take advantage of the ready-made solution and purchase a headset.
In order to save unnecessary things from the warehouse, it is quite possible to create masterpieces.
There are special masters involved in the renaissance of objects of the past. So, the old sofa takes on a classic shape, cabinets are made from suitcases, and home lamps are made from old street lamps. Look at the usual things from a different angle, and you will find a use for them.
When choosing finished furniture, it is important to start from the color scheme. More comfort is created by natural materials. Therefore, choosing the next set, pay attention to the shades of natural wood. They will be in harmony with any wall and floor covering.

Home improvement textiles
Textiles and fabrics bring the most coziness to the atmosphere of the apartment. This material finds its embodiment in curtains, sofa upholstery, armchairs, floor coverings, pillows, tablecloths, etc. The right combination will make the room comfortable and unique.
Periodic replacement of textiles radically transforms the house. Due to this, there is a liveliness of colors and a new original combination.
The soft textile is cozy in itself. More pile on the carpet in the seating area can be a real magnet. Textiles not factory-made, but ordered from a master or brought from a trip, will become an original highlight of the design. Choose the actual texture of the fabric so that it does not conflict with the rest of the interior details.

How to create comfort in the house: more light and oxygen
When landscaping a house, it is necessary to pay special attention to lighting. In addition to the general light, install local sources and use them to immerse yourself in a romantic setting. The location of the light allows you to change the proportions. The more light sources, the more spacious the room seems.
The best solution is to have enough daylight through panoramic windows.
Local light is most often used in the evening to create a comfortable environment and relieve visual load. With fewer things and free space, there will be more air. This is an important element that contributes to physical and mental comfort.
