The charm of a warm and welcoming interior can be created with small touches – such as some extra cushions – or with bolder options, such as pastel tones and dim lights. Whatever you choose, it’s hard to resist the timeless charm of an elegant and refined decor. Here are some tips to inspire you.
OPT FOR NEUTRAL COLOURS
To make your house feel like a home, play with its colours. Opt for soft and soothing shades such as white, beige or grey. For a more Scandinavian style, choose more enveloping colours like anthracite grey or midnight blue. Or, add a sweet and joyful note by using pastel shades such as powder pink or almond green.

CHOOSE “WELCOMING” MATERIALS
Want to warm up the atmosphere of your home? Nothing beats natural materials such as wood, cotton or wool for creating a warm and cozy environment. You can also use materials, such as natural fibers for carpets or velvet for curtains.

Consider accent lamps or a floor lamp in order to light up each activity area, such as the eating area, reading nook or work space. Lamps offer cozy lighting while providing interesting shadow effects. You can also integrate strings of lights or place candles throughout the house.
