How to create comfort in your home

In creating a unique and cozy interior, you need to take into account what the house is built from, its layout, your individual preferences.

2. If there are partitions separating small rooms, they can be dismantled. The room will be filled with light and will look spacious. In the living room, combined with the kitchen, the whole family will gather on quiet evenings.
3. Small windows are another problem of old houses, because a house with large bright windows always looks more comfortable. If the window frames have lost their pristine whiteness, then you can install new double-glazed windows or putty and paint old frames. At the same time, it is not necessary to choose a cold white color, prefer cream, beige, yellowish, brown shades. This will give the window a home-like appearance.
4. Indoor flowers in beautiful pots, vases with fresh flowers are placed on wide window sills.
5. Decorate the window with textile curtains in the general style of the interior. If blinds, roller blinds are used, then choose canvases in warm colors. Blinds in white or other cool colors are more suitable for the office.
6. The walls of the house can be painted with light paint or covered with wallpaper. Cloths are better to choose plain or with a small pattern. If you need to visually raise the ceiling, then choose vertical stripes. To expand the room, horizontal stripes, borders or a coupon pattern are suitable. To make a room that is too large, use screens and mobile partitions. They will help to zone the room, make it more comfortable.
