Wintery Nights - Oak Furniture UK

 

From the moment someone enters your home, they are greeted with an atmosphere and feel that you have created through your interior design. You want this to be an inviting and welcoming atmosphere as this will make your visitors and family feel comfortable, welcome and relaxed. In order to create the perfect, homely atmosphere there are a few things you should always consider when it comes to your interiors, as well as additional furnishings and accessories to emphasise your homes cosy appeal.

 

Create a Strong First Impression

 

 

 

For many, the entrance to your home is the first chance people get to get a proper feel for the inside of your home. The first moment someone sees something they will instantly begin to generate an impression of what they think to what they are looking at. When it comes to your home, your front entrance is the place where first impressions will be made, and opinions will start to generate. Having a welcoming entrance is key, and to ensure your home is as welcoming and cosy as possible, there’s a couple of things that will help you to do so. The colours used in your hallway or entrance will give an instant idea as to how the rest of the home looks and feels. Sticking to a neutral colour palette made up of creams, beiges and browns will enable you to create a very warm atmosphere that emphasises the welcoming feel your home has to offer. Lighting is another key element to creating the perfect atmosphere. Having yellow-toned, soft lighting will create a really gentle, soft look that will make your home appear inviting. You can then look at introducing some personal details to add character and life to the entrance. Family photographs are a great way of welcoming people to your home, displaying your loving family and having a happy selection of images so people can get an idea as to who lives in your home, as well as adding to the light, warm feel.

 

Introducing Wooden Features

 

For many homes, wood is the perfect material for adding character to your interiors, as well as creating that warm and homely balance. There are so many ways in which you can incorporate wood into your home, and one of the most popular ways is through furniture. Adding wooden furnishings to your home's interior will create a really strong, bold look that emphasises a warm and welcoming feel. Oak is a very popular material due to its durability and beautiful appearance. By introducing items such as an oak coffee table or an oak bookcase, you are adding to the overall look of the décor and enabling your room to feel cosy and inviting. Another very popular, yet slightly more expensive, option for using wood to add to your homes cosy feel is to introduce features such as a wood burning stove. Wood burning stoves enable you to create a beautiful, cosy atmosphere as well as helping you keep nice and warm over the cold wintery months. You can introduce wood in both simple and bold ways, and both will help to boost your home's atmosphere and create a really strong, welcoming feel that your friends and family will love.

 

Gentle Detailing

 

The way you accessorise and add details to your home will have a huge impact on the overall atmosphere and feel. Your home is a place where you can express your personality, character and style by adding all kinds of different accessories to your interiors. Introducing simplistic features such as candles, books, magazines and so on will add to the homely feel and make your home feel loved and lived in. More bold features such as artwork, photographs and even statement walls will create a strong, clear look that highlights your personality and makes your friends and family feel comfortable and welcome in your home!
