How to create cosy places

It’s that time of year when Summer feels like a distant memory and we are all craving some Spring sunshine. Creating a cosy interior can help to make those winter blues more bearable, a space where you can hibernate for the colder months. But what colours should you recommend to your customers?

Whatever the weather, cosy interior spaces can help to boost that homely feeling and celebrate the art of being indoors. While your customer may automatically lean towards pinks, oranges and reds for those warmer tones, these aren’t your only options. In fact, certain shades of green and blue can also have a warming effect.

• Looking for that perfect neutral tone? Creamy Latte is the perfect cosy shade that can help add a feeling of warmth and homeliness. To help build depth, consider pairing it with natural, tonal linens and earthy knitted textiles.
• Greens don’t have to just be for spring. Pairing a natural-toned sage green, like Good Earth, with rustic wood and terracotta materials is ideal for bringing a cosy feel to living spaces.
• When choosing pinks, try to avoid blueish-toned pinks and instead lean into more yellow or brown-hued pinks. These slightly muted shades are far more enveloping, like a warm hug.
• Don’t be afraid of teal shades. Crown of Feathers can deliver a cosy ambience, especially when paired with rich exotic wood furniture and living plants.
