Do you feel as though your home isn't as inviting as it could be? Maybe you want your home to look modern are lacking that traditional cosy feel. Either way, it's now easier than ever to make a change.
Start with the Entrance
One of the first things you need to do is start with your entrance. At the end of the day, the entrance is one of the first areas that will welcome your guests. For this reason, you have to make sure that you spend a bit more time decorating it. Add some lighting and an outdoor decorative piece, so you can draw guests in. Something simple such as a welcome sign or even a doormat will work wonders.
Add some Throws
Some nice quality throws or blankets can help your living area to look and feel cosy. Having a nice blanket in the living room will encourage anyone who comes to stay with you to make themselves feel right at home. If you keep a throw on the bed, then this will be a nice decorative touch too. You can pick up a stylish throw online or you can even use a blanket ladder if you want. Of course, if you think your home is a little cold then now could be the best time for you to look into hydronic heating.
Accent your Fire
If you have a fireplace, then why not take the time to highlight it? You can decorate the mantle by using candles, vases or various other decorative pieces. Just make sure that you don't try too hard to follow a set plan. Finding pieces that work within your style and that coordinate with the room are always worth it and they help to give your home a bit of character & personality too. If you have a focal piece, such as a mirror or a painting then don't be afraid to add this to the room so you can draw everything together.
Make Room for Flowers
Fresh flowers or plants are fantastic additions to your kitchen or your bathroom. Why not take the time to visit your local store or even farmer's market, so you can pick out colours that coordinate with the room? If you do not have a green thumb, then opt for something like a succulent as this will make the green pop without you having to maintain everything too much.
Use the Right Lighting
The right lighting can work wonders at the end of the day. If you do not have enough light in the room then this will make everything seem dark and small, which is the last thing you need. Take the time to invest in lamps, and make sure that you have thin curtains too. This will flood the room with natural sunlight, and this will add that cosy feel to your property. Little changes like this can make all the difference, so don't be afraid to give it a go to see if you can make your home feel better as a result.
In conclusion, transforming your modern home into a cosy and inviting space is simpler than you think. Very simple apartment decorating ideas can make a difference. Remember, the key is to strike a balance between style and coziness, allowing you and your guests to feel truly at home in your modern oasis.
