Coming home and getting into an atmosphere of comfort and warmth is the natural desire and right of any person. It’s wonderful when harmony and joy reign in the apartment, and loved ones and relatives greet you on the doorstep. Sometimes some little things are missing for complete happiness. This means it’s time to think about how to create comfort in the apartment, give the interior a certain style, and add those details that will turn the house into a “full bowl.”

Order

First of all, a cozy apartment is a clean apartment, where there is no room for chaos. Disorder is only acceptable in an artist's studio. Sometimes, to create comfort in an apartment with your own hands, it’s enough just to do some general cleaning. This activity is not for everyone, but the result of the effort is worth it. You can often see real chaos even in your own home. Don't be scared and give up. You need to act like this.

• First of all, it is recommended to conduct an audit and get rid of unnecessary things. Old junk that lies like a dead weight not only takes up precious square meters, but also creates a lot of inconvenience. Clothes and shoes that have not been worn for a long time, faulty Appliances, papers, boxes, etc. are “killers” of comfort.
• Face cozy apartment- it's a kitchen. If it is not sparkling clean, and new life has appeared in the refrigerator, you will have to roll up your sleeves and bring everything to a shine.
• Well-maintained plumbing fixtures, polished faucets and a splash-free mirror - that’s what’s nice to see when tidying up in the morning.
• Wardrobes and chests of drawers crammed to capacity with crumpled items deprive their owners of the opportunity to quickly find a clean pair of socks. It's great to open a door or pull out a drawer and find neat stacks of clothes and ironed shirts on hangers.
• People spend a significant part of their lives in bed. Fresh bed linen, soft pillows and a light blanket is a well-deserved reward at the end of each day.
• The hallway, the floor of which is filled with shoes for different seasons, is not pleasing to the eye. It is better to keep each pair in a separate box and take it out according to the time of year.

Having finished once and for all with the accumulated clutter, maintaining cleanliness will become very simple, because the usual wet cleaning doesn't take much time.

Interior

Major renovations and buying new furniture are not affordable for everyone. Yes, this is not necessary! If the condition of the walls, floors and plumbing is not critical, it is quite possible to get by inexpensively cosmetic repairs. Today's market building materials pleases customers with such a rich assortment of products that it will not be difficult to choose inexpensive wallpaper and paint to update the room and furniture.

Color, texture, style are a matter of taste. It is important that the renovation is done carefully, environmentally friendly, and that the selected shades are in harmony and not “arguing” with each other. Of course, creating comfort in a new apartment is much easier than remodeling the interior of an old one: you don’t need to remove old wallpaper and paint, or move furniture. But how nice it is to refresh your favorite home, make it play with new colors! Recommendations:

• for painting ceilings and walls in the bathroom and kitchen, water-dispersed paint is perfect acrylic base; it allows moisture to pass through well, is resistant to abrasion and looks great even on an imperfect surface;

When the walls and ceilings shine with newness, it’s time to move on to the next stage of creating a cozy atmosphere in the house. To do this you will have to use your imagination and be creative.

Details

Little things are what life actually consists of. Pleasant ones lift your spirits, while all others irritate. Trying to surround myself cute items, we create comfort in the home with our own hands.

• Houseplants. Nothing brings life to an apartment like well-groomed flowers. beautiful flowerpots. It doesn’t matter what kind, flowering or just greenery, they please the eye and decorate the house, and even clean the air in the room, saturating it with oxygen. If you have no experience in caring for flowers, you can always purchase cute and unpretentious plants by asking the seller for advice.
• Comfort in a relaxation room is often associated with a plump sofa or deep chair and a soft blanket. Why not get a rocking chair? Place next to small table, a bowl of fruit and some good books.
• Home clothes and shoes. Let it be not only comfortable and pleasant to the touch, but also new and beautiful. Cast-offs belong in the trash can.
• Dishes for every day. Are you used to taking out the ceremonial plates before your guests arrive? Down with this relic of the past! The habit of beautifully setting the table will make even ordinary pasta tastier and life more elegant.
• Paintings, panels, photographs in frames. Let your favorite faces smile at you from the walls and inspire you beautiful landscapes, one is proud of one’s own hand-made work.

When planning how to create comfort in your home, you should pay maximum attention to all these little things, because they will surround you every day of your life.

The scent of comfort

Sometimes, when you go into someone's house, you feel bad smell. It doesn't matter what it is - cigarettes, stale food or an uncleaned hamster cage. I want to leave the room as soon as possible.

Important: the house must be ventilated every day!

Fresh air not only displaces unpleasant odors, but also improves well-being and reduces fatigue. And here available funds, creating a wonderful aroma in the rooms:

• Cinnamon is good for the kitchen - it smells amazing and very cozy;
• in the bedroom, orange or lemon peels, crushed and placed in a sachet, will be useful;
• In the living room you can put a vase with coffee beans.

It is better not to use chemical air fresheners, especially if there are children in the house. And the most important cozy aroma is the smell of cleanliness and delicious home-cooked food. Everyone loves him.

Not enough space?

Alas, not everyone is lucky enough to have a spacious living space. But also in one-room apartment you can feel comfortable! In this case, it is very important to properly organize the space in the room.

The basic rules are:

• Nothing extra! Donate, sell or throw away anything you don't use regularly! An exception may be repair tools.
• Invest in a tall, spacious closet. It may cost a pretty penny, but its depths will fit your entire wardrobe and even shoes.
• The sleeping place should be foldable, turning into a compact sofa during the day.

All this will help you win back a few extra (or necessary) square meters. But you can visually enlarge the room like this:

• use light colors for decoration;
• make sure that the ceiling is perfectly smooth and white;
• paint window frames in white;
• leave minimal decorations on the walls;
• do not overload the interior with details;
• Don't keep things in sight that can be put away.

Designers, when deciding how to create comfort in a small apartment, suggest using mirrors. Special attention copies with a picture deserve. Patterns, created by masters on mirror surface, do this necessary item household items with luxurious interior decoration.

Floor to ceiling mirror in wooden frame“antique” or framed by indoor plants can completely transform even the most small room, giving it depth. Attention! The mirror must be perfectly clean; splashes and stains kill all the magic.

How smaller room, the more carefully it should be removed. And to create comfort there is one more technique.

Zoning

It was invented so that even in a small room there would be room for at least two. Division into zones is not the construction additional walls. Most often it is conditional, but this method works perfectly.

• The most common method is decorative finishing walls in different colors, using different textures in order to mark the boundaries between zones of one room. For example, in a common living room there may be several functional zones: working ( computer desk, office chair), seating area (sofa, bookshelf), playroom (soft rug and toy box).
• Lightweight folding accordion screens are sometimes used. With their help, you can define the boundaries more clearly, but such devices still take up space.
• Interesting design solution- screen made of beads. It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to buy something like this, but you can make it yourself or order it from a craftsman. A unique author's item will come out. Long nylon threads studded with transparent or colored (or different) beads look luxurious.

Window

It’s not for nothing that they are called the eyes of the house. Clean glass, freshly painted or new frames are only half the battle. Curtains are of enormous importance. They must be clean and perfectly ironed, unless “wrinkled” fabric is used according to the design intent.

Floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall curtains visually expand the room. The effect is enhanced if matched light tone, in harmony with the overall color scheme of the room.

Lighting

An elegant chandelier in the living room, an elegant floor lamp near the sofa, a nice lampshade in the kitchen or original multifunctional lighting throughout the apartment - all this can become a highlight in the interior of your apartment.

Comfort in the home is the fruit of care and work. The chic shine of a hotel suite and someone else's luxury always fade against the background of the sweet simplicity of a well-groomed home.

Recipes cozy home from our regular author Anna Mulan

Just recently I moved to new apartment. But I didn’t experience the expected joy from the move. I could sit in my favorite Starbucks until the night: work, relax and be inspired. It was more comfortable there than at home. When I felt that I was already 80% coffee, I realized that it was time to return home.

I wondered why I don’t feel drawn to it? Why is it more comfortable in a noisy coffee shop? And in general, what little things make a house a home?And here are the recipes for a cozy home that cannot be exchanged for a cafe. Tested by personal experience.

Well, I decided to make changes in the house. But where to start? Read a smart book, magazine, watch design tutorials on the Internet, or maybe hire a designer? But this would not make the apartment any more comfortable, because the concept “ cosiness “Everyone has their own. It's something personal.

I started simple - with questions: “What kind of atmosphere in the house do I generally need? How would I like to feel in each room?”

Don't rush to throw out your old one and buy new furniture. The apartment will not become more comfortable. Ask the question: what do YOU ​​want? And for each room, choose at least three symbol words that describe the atmosphere you want to create.

A very cool book on this topic “”. Makes it clear that before starting global changes in the house, you should first understand yourself.

My comfort was hampered by things that I haven’t used for a long time, but it’s a pity to throw them away (“it’s a memory”). I'm sure everyone has encountered this problem (our balconies are a temple of memory for unnecessary items).Junk accumulates and collects dust over the years. And old, no longer needed, memories prevent you from enjoying the present. By the way, we have a separate section on the topic of unnecessary things and order in the house.

Don’t be afraid to throw out jars, bottles, teabags, boxes - anything you haven’t used for a long time. Yes, these things were once needed, but the time has come for something really important and new.

I recently traveled around Sweden and noticed one detail: in each apartment there was a paper star-lamp on the windowsill. And the rooms and balconies were decorated with lights. The atmosphere of home comfort and warmth reached me even on the street.I then thought: “This is cool! But just little lights.” MWe treat light in the house superficially: we hung a chandelier and, at best, installed a floor lamp. And light is a powerful comforter that creates an atmosphere.

Highlight each area in the room with light, avoid dark corners. Place a floor lamp near the chair in which you like to read, hang a sconce over your favorite painting or photo, don’t forget about table lamp and a chandelier with soft light.And, of course, candles - warm and lively light.

Coziness's best friend is a dimmer: install it on all lighting sources for the desired atmosphere.

Sofa – interesting thing. It’s like an eminence grise: it doesn’t seem to be the basis of the interior, but it influences everything in the room.The sofa carries a great emotional load - this is a place where you can relax and unwind, chat with family and friends, wrap yourself in a blanket and watch TV with your significant other. Take his choice seriously.

“Well, I’ll buy something cheap for the first time,” I mistakenly thought. Mine was uncomfortable and hard, and it broke quickly. I had to go in search of something new and high quality to make the apartment comfortable.

Quality is expressed in beauty and convenience. When choosing, look at the neatness of the seams, the coating, and most importantly, the filler. The ideal filling is down with a thin layer of foam.

A minute of theory: LPPU or latex polyurethane foam – perfect solution. Unlike simple foam rubber, the bubbles in which burst under load (this causes the coating to sag and lose its shape), latex does not suffer from use, but returns every time. initial position. You can check this by sitting on the couch. See how quickly it gets back into shape. Another surefire way is to ask a consultant or ask to look and touch the layer.

Don't skimp on a decent sofa - this is your comfort. We even have a whole article about this: “How to choose a good sofa?” And how to make it more comfortable - see below.

The blanket often travels from room to room on my shoulders. When I want warmth, I take it out from the depths of the closet. But it can warm not only people, but also give warmth to an entire room.

Blankets thrown over the back of a chair or the armrest of a sofa seem to hint that they live in the room and use it. Cashmere, wool, cotton, checkered or striped. With them, any interior will be more homely and lively.

And the Pillows! To be honest, I only had one. She lay on the bed, covered with a blanket, and performed one function - she transported her to the world of dreams.Pillows can update and even change the interior. Place one on the armchair and several on the sofa, and the room will look new!

But it's not that simple. In addition to beauty, convenience is also important here. If family members, friends, guests, when sitting down, move or remove the pillows, then there is no question of any comfort here. No matter how luxurious the pillow is, first of all it should invite you to sit down.

Here are a couple of lifehacks:

pay attention to down pillows - they are the softest;

if you doubt the size of the pillow, make a larger error;

large square ones for sofas ( 35-50 cm) , rectangular for chairs (30x40 or 40x65);

the color of the pillow must match at least three things in the interior (curtains, carpet, wallpaper, etc.)

Here is the formula for cozying a sofa = a blanket on the back or armrest + 2 identical pillows in the corners + a rectangular pillow in the center. (More details about the number, location and size of pillows in ours)

A lot of useful tips on soft comforts is in the book “Home, Sweet Home”. I read it in one evening and was inspired to buy new pillows!

The first thing people notice when entering a house is its aroma. It remains in the memory and creates the first impression. It is unlikely that you will be comfortable in an apartment with the smell of dampness or mold.

This does not mean that you need to buy a bunch of fragrances and spray them where it smells unpleasant. The point is that you should create a basic aroma that is always in the apartment - you feel it as soon as you walk home from the street.

You can use the following:

aromatic mixture

Easy to use sachet. Sachets are small pillows or bags filled with natural materials: petals, twigs, herbs, spices.

Such bags are placed throughout the apartment, and always in the hallway, so that a pleasant aroma greets you after a hard day at work.

aroma candles

Depending on the season or our mood, we can change the smells of our home using aromatherapy candles. They enliven any room and are appropriate almost everywhere, except dining table- there is a place for the smell of delicious food.

Be careful. From candles made from cheap and low-quality materials, you will get not relaxation, but headache. Choose from soy or coconut waxes with natural ingredients.

Have you noticed how a room transforms when you stand in it? beautiful bouquet? It’s somehow immediately fresh, joyful, cozy. But for most, such transformations in the interior happen on holidays, when flowers migrate into the house as a gift.

I love fresh flowers. They invigorate the room and create a fresh aroma. That's why I made it a rule to keep them at home all year round(you can read about how to choose flowers). Nobody says that you need to buy huge gift bouquets. A couple of tulips, peonies or ordinary daisies - and the room becomes more comfortable.

Another option - houseplants. They make the rooms look so homely and well-groomed. Choose pretty and fragrant plants: jasmine, narcissus, amaryllis, geranium, citrus fruits.

Just imagine, after a long renovation, you enter an apartment. The house is unrecognizable, everything is stylish and new. Walk around the apartment as if through a museum, looking at every detail. Sit down on the chic and soft sofa and look around. Everything seems beautiful, but you uncomfortable. And all because it remains to add myself .

Photographs, paintings, books, memorabilia tell our story. With proper arrangement of these items, it turns out living house, telling about the owner.

We make the home ours through:

Books

This is what we love and admire. Through books we are able to talk about our hobbies without even naming them. Therefore, there is no need to put them in boxes and store them in a closet.

You can make stacks of books on the floor. You can place them on shelves, diluting them with candles, figurines, photographs.

Photo

I love lively, random shots. They accurately convey our emotions and state at the moment of the past. These are the kind of photos that should be stored not on your smartphone, but on the walls of your apartment. How to do this, read

Print, hang or place anywhere in the room. Fill it with emotions.

Paintings and drawings

You surround yourself with creativity that inspires.

Hang the pictures on the wall or just place them on the table, mantelpiece, lean against the wall to create a carefree atmosphere. (For information on how to do this, see the article “How to hang pictures without headaches?”)

Recently I discovered the magic of decorative mirrors. Walking between showrooms at IKEA, I noticed one living room. It was airy, fresh and bright. And all because of decorative mirrors in unusual frames.They multiplied the light reflected in them from the chandeliers so much that the room became very lively. The diffused light illuminated the dark corners of the space and it turned out very cozy.

Do you understand what I mean? Mirrors won't hurt. Hang them on the wall instead of a picture, place them above the fireplace or next to some piece of furniture, place them between a couple of windows, above a sofa, above any shelf or dressing table.

If there is a fireplace in the house, then 50% of the cozy plan has been completed! Because fire is warmth, calm, peace, comfort.Alternative - electric fireplace: There is no need to throw firewood, it is impossible to get burned, there is heat.In general, if you have the opportunity to purchase this magical thing, don’t hesitate!

These points helped me bring the apartment closer to the cozy ideal. But there is another important detail - the comfort in the house is created by its people.

Your comfort is you and the emotions you bring. Positive or negative, they charge every corner.

And here is the ideal formula for comfort: spiritual gatherings with family and friends + love + 10 tips listed above, and you will never trade your home for a noisy cafe.

1. Get rid of unnecessary things

Your home is not a warehouse or a lost and found office, so it’s time to finally clear out the closets and throw away all the accumulated junk in the name of comfort.

Sort out your clothes: hopelessly damaged and downright old items belong in the trash bin, and those that look decent, but just don’t like, you can try to sell on online flea markets. Organize your cosmetics drawers and household chemicals. Everything is ruined, it’s not worth using.

Same story with household appliances. A constantly overheating mixer, an iron with a frayed cord wrapped with electrical tape - these seem like small things, but with frequent use, even small flaws begin to irritate.

At this stage, your goal is to get rid of everything that bothers you or gets on your nerves. Home is a place where we relax from worries and worries, so at least let nothing infuriate us here.

2. Add unusual details to the interior

A sterilely clean apartment, where everything is literally on a ruler, is not a place to live. Small details will help you get rid of the feeling that you are in a hotel room.

Photos, paintings, an unusual tapestry or a napkin knitted by your own hands - such little things add individuality. Your home is a reflection of your interests and tastes, so don't be shy in expressing yourself.

The only thing to remember is functionality first. For example, a long-pile rug may look nice next to the sofa, but you will regret the purchase a thousand times over when you clean it. The same story with the abundance of figurines on the shelves - first you need to remove them, then wipe off the dust, then put everything in its place... Try to find a reasonable compromise in the choice between beauty and convenience.

3. Keep it clean

In order not to spend the entire weekend cleaning, break it down into stages - it’s easier than trying to cope with what has accumulated over the week in a day.

Here is a rough plan for daily activities. You can add other tasks and change the order in which they are completed. The point is that maintaining cleanliness is constant process, not a feat every two weeks.

• Monday: Clean the bathroom and do laundry.
• Tuesday: Iron the washed items.
• Wednesday: Dust.
• Thursday: Vacuum the floor.
• Friday: Wash the stove and get rid of any leftover food in the refrigerator.

That's it, by the end of the week your house is clean. All that remains is the little things like changing the bed linen and washing the clothes you plan to wear next week. It is better to wash clothes on Saturday, so that on Sunday you can iron them and hang them in the closet. Change your bed linen on Sunday and start the wash on Monday.

4. Make cleaning as easy as possible

The less effort required to put things in order, the better. Stock up on the right equipment: even with it spring-cleaning it won't be a burden.

Wiping off dust with microfiber cloths is much faster and more effective than using old T-shirts or a piece of used duvet cover. If you wash the floor with water containing special means, wipe off the dirt without special effort it will work the first time.

Hate sweeping floors? Buy good vacuum cleaner, and that's the end of it.

The conditions are simple:

Every person’s home is for him a fortress and a place of rest, where he feels an atmosphere of comfort, care and safety. How nice it is to return to a warm, pleasant home after a hard day at work and being in various tense situations in society. At home we relax and rest not only physically, but also mentally. Often women are faced with this situation: the husband does not want to return home and comes up with a lot of other things to do, either he is relaxing with friends, or he is late at work. Many people panic and start arguing with their man, which only makes the problem worse. If we consider the psychology of men’s behavior, we can notice a very banal and simple rule of their behavior: they linger where they feel good. If they stay away from home, it means they are not as happy there as they think.

The atmosphere in the house is created by a woman. This often depends on two factors:

1. Relationships and what place a man has in the house: A man is the master of the house, the hero of his family, the beloved husband and main patron, or the person who is commanded and neglected. A person who is valued, or, conversely, not.
2. Comfort and warmth created by a woman in the house. Today we will focus on the atmosphere of home comfort that wise women so skillfully create. It is these women that men remember with special trepidation and rush to get out of work as quickly as possible in order to be home early.

There are 10 simple secrets that help create coziness and comfort in your home and make it mysteriously pleasant.

Purity

No matter how clean the house is, the extra things that everyone is used to collecting clog it up and completely destroy the atmosphere of tidiness. Firstly, things that are not useful, but are simply kept “just in case”, need to be thrown away. Secondly, you need to clean everywhere, especially behind furniture and in hard-to-reach places. If the house is cluttered, there will never be comfort there and there will always be a desire to escape from it.

Energy purity

After cleaning the space, it must either be blessed with sacred water, or smoked with incense, or lit with incense sticks and candles. Each housewife chooses the method that is closest to her heart. The purpose of such rituals is to cleanse the house on an energetic level. Most The best way- this is reading prayers or other things (mantras, etc.), depending on your faith.

Light

IN nice home It's always light. It is recommended not to crowd the windows with large curtains and not block the access of light to the house. If your windows face west and the sun does not visit your home so often, figure out how to use artificial lightening to refresh your space so that it is not dark. Dark rooms make you sad and depressed; as a rule, you don’t want to do anything in them and laziness and apathy develop.

Sounds

As many people know, those houses from which swearing and loud aggressive music emanate give the impression of not very cozy and prosperous homes. On the contrary, the influence of sounds helps to tune everyone in the house to a harmonious wave. This could be classical or other calm music, or even better, the sounds of nature or a flute. When soft, harmonious music plays in a house for a long time, an energy balance arises there and a subtle note of joy visits everyone who comes there. Many people turn on music channels and don’t even understand that they not only affect the human psyche, but also upset the balance in the room, because the variety and diversity of sounds completely destroys any harmony around them. This can be done, but preferably rarely, and it is better to give up this habit altogether.

Smells

There are many interesting ways diffuse pleasant aromas into your home. The main rule is that they should be natural. You can light incense sticks or an aroma lamp and pour in a few drops essential oil in a candle or use other aromatic products. The influence of aromas is a whole separate art with which you can influence a person’s mood and even his health.

Items

Every home has many different items other than furniture, such as paintings, souvenirs, watches, Stuffed Toys and others. Sometimes we ourselves don’t notice how these objects begin to irritate us with their appearance that has long lost its freshness; often they do not fit into the interior of the home, which creates disharmony and negatively affects the mood of the inhabitants of the house. Get rid of unnecessary items and arrange the rest in a way that makes you feel good and doesn't detract from the aesthetics of your home. It happens that there are so many souvenir items in the house that it seems as if there is nothing to breathe there. It is important not to overdo it and monitor your space.

Colors

Look at the colors around you. It is known that color affects a person's mood. Neutral shades predominate in many homes. You can dilute your interior with paintings with bright rich colors. For example, in the kitchen it is best to hang a picture with a cornucopia or a juicy still life with various delicacies. Get creative and add colors to your home. This could be new curtains, a wall repainted or new upholstery on the sofa, whatever you consider necessary for reforms in your hearth.

homemade baking

Many women are excellent housewives and cook wonderfully, but not everyone knows what exactly homemade baking gives the home an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. You don't want to leave such a home. Since ancient times, it has been an unsolved mystery of how a baked pie, bread, pies or other baked goods can affect the energy of a home, but everyone notices this fact. A house that smells of freshly baked pie cannot be uncomfortable. This is the secret of all wise housewives, this is the magic of turning flour into bread, which is a symbol of everything that God has sent us, and a woman is endowed with the gift of being a participant in this great sacrament. Homemade pies truly carry an inexplicable mystery and even those who do not like baking cannot resist them. It's always a pleasure to stay in such a house.

Abundance

It is abundance that helps you feel joy and relax in the home of a good housewife. When a house is rich, it gives a feeling of celebration and joy to the soul. To create such an atmosphere, you should put a large vase with fruits and sweets on the table, decorate the house with fresh flowers beautiful vases. It is not necessary for the flowers to be expensive; you can use not very expensive bouquets, but it is important that they are fresh and pleasing in their appearance. You can bring more flowering flowerpots into the house, which is also very beautiful.

Generosity

A rich house is a generous house. Doing charity work and helping others is a great initiative for every family. You can have a box or basket where you put money for charity, and give it to those in need once a week. It is also important to give sweets or other treats to every guest at home, even uninvited or fleeting ones, for example, the postman, neighbor, etc. A home that is constantly shared with others becomes vibrant and happy.
