The secret of a cozy home

As paradoxical as it may sound, even basic house cleaning can be honey for the soul. After everything is tidied up and arranged, swept and washed, a kind of "housewife's catharsis" sets in - the native walls truly warm. What can I say, every family member in a house where order reigns, understands what the warmth of the home is. By the way, I envy in an amicable way those who are in full swing in the house renovation, who just rebuilt a country house or had some other living space. Do what you want, breathe new life into your home, draw a canvas for yourself and then enjoy it. What you can "do" in your own home will be discussed further.

Color solution

When the famous actress Salma Hayek bought a villa in California, her friends did not understand her. The villa was a terrible gray, the walls were peeling, and there was a miniature jungle in the garden - you can't go without an ax. But the actress, without hesitation, began to change everything - she, apparently, also enjoys arranging her own home with her own hands.

Salma chose the color palette for decorating her house in the garden. "All colors should be natural, natural," she said. "Only then can we truly rest in our home." And Salma staged a cult of the sun throughout the dwelling. Which, in fact, is not surprising, because she grew up in Mexico City.

In my opinion, Salma's example clearly shows that even if you have a large fortune, you should not strive to cover the walls in the house with ultra-modern paint of a color unknown in nature. And this is justified, because in fact, although we are highly developed, we are animals. Therefore, they must live in harmony with natural colors. So, for example, a bright red color in nature is found in a small amount: a rose bud or a fruit of a fruit, but nothing more. Therefore, there should be not much red, otherwise you are in danger of constant excitement, remember how a bull reacts to a red canvas. Blue and light blue are known to be soothing colors, which means they will be ideal for a bedroom. But a combination with green will not be superfluous to make it more comfortable in the cold color of the sea.

By the way, recently, the fashion for wood in interior design has been persistently returning. If it is not possible to make parquet from valuable species of cedar or to upholster the walls with it, you can use what is called "wood imitation". Remember also that wallpaper is ideal for the bedroom and children's room, and in the living room, in the kitchen and in the hallway, more modern painted walls are appropriate. But the most important rule of a stylish interior is that everything should be in a single color palette.

Furniture

First of all, it should be functional, even better multifunctional. After renovation, or moving into a new home, try to get rid of, say, a chair, which has always been used only as a dump for things. What you don't use clutters up your home and contributes not to comfort, but rather to stiffness in movement.

Now there are many shops with brands of inexpensive and functional furniture (for example, "IKEA"). Sofas can be easily converted into a sofa, a sofa - into an armchair, an armchair - into a table. However, this "traveling" type of furniture may not be to everyone's liking. In addition, such furniture is usually cheap and does not always last long. On the other hand, you shouldn't buy furniture for life. For example, it is known that the maximum life of a bed is 10 years. After that, it should be changed, because sleeping on springs that have crawled out and crumpled in different directions cannot be called healthy. In any case, you should at least think about changing your mattress.

I also advise you to pay attention to the brand of furniture of the Russian factory "Marta" Albert & Shtein. Its price, given the European quality, is quite adequate. And multifunctionality over the edge. The Kamelot model can be used as a corner sofa in the living room and as a bed, or even two, in the bedroom; Tiffany is suitable for home and office; and the Douglas model can be completed with any details you want. And most importantly, all models have removable upholstery: when you want to make light changes to the environment, just put on other covers.

It remains to breathe life!

And life at home is, first of all, insignificant details that give the home originality, charm and, of course, comfort. For example…

Flowers

Indoor plants not only bring a "live stream" into the interior, but also give a lot to the owners of the house. So, Hippeastrum, Croton, Chlorophytum, Hibiscus give freshness and relieve nervousness. And the bright buds of Hippeastrum will return the mood even to a complete choleric person. Balsam, Vanka wet, Myrtle, Haworthia and Anthurium add courage and energy. But Cyclomenes must necessarily be in the house of people associated with creative work: the energy of this flower radiates energy, pushing for new ideas.

Be sure to find a place for scented plants: Gardenia, Hyacinth and Jasmine. Many flowers are used as a base for perfumes, so do not deny yourself "live" and free fragrances.

Photos and paintings

It is desirable without platitudes. A small stylish black and white photograph in a beautiful leather frame or a watercolor in a wooden frame bring the main feminine trait into the house - charm. You can't tell right away what it is, just like you can't say that an insignificant accessory (brooch or earrings, and it is possible that even a ring) in clothes is almost the main detail.

Cushions

They can be printed or with applique, plain or multi-colored, as long as they are soft and pleasant to the touch. Small pillows are, in fact, a symbol of comfort in the house.

Stones

The tradition of using stones in interior design comes from the Chinese gardens of wisdom. With the help of stones, you can create compositions or use them as complementary details when creating bouquets. In either case, the stones will give dignity and bring in a certain line of wisdom. Colored stones are now available for purchase. On a porcelain plate under the bright rays of the sun, they will give the joy of a colorful day.

It is better to use these seemingly insignificant things in interior design in pairs. Two identical frames, vases, pillows or candlesticks will add harmony and tranquility. What I sincerely want to wish. Good luck!
