Keeping it calm: How to create a cosy and calm home

Want to create a cosy and calm home? Whether you’re renovating, building or styling a space in your home or office, the first step is to create your vision.

Vision board

A 'vision or mood board' will help you capture how the space will look and feel, and will help you understand the layout.

Living room

We spend a lot of time in our living rooms, so why not make it a beautiful cosy space, that encourages you and invites you to relax!

Using a neutral colour as a base, you can play with colour and textures by adding rugs, cushions, throws and decorative objects such as coffee table books, vases and candles.

Wardrobe

Our wardrobe should reflect your personal style and be visually appealing while remaining functional. Having too many items in your wardrobe can be overwhelming, so shop with intention and only buy what you need.

Consider a capsule wardrobe and invest in items that are easily interchangeable and designed to maximise the number of outfits that you can create.

To add a touch of luxury, incorporate velvet hangers and felt drawer liners.

Additionally, sort your clothes by colour or style to create a visually appealing and inspiring space. Take the time to curate a space that makes you feel calm, content and inspired.

Master bedroom

Creating a beautiful clutter-free bedroom that you will love spending time in, will promote relaxation and calm.

By selecting calming colours, comfortable fabrics, and adding natural elements, you can create a warm and inviting space, encouraging a restful nights sleep.
