Whether you're designing a new bedroom, moving into dorms, or renting your first house, it can be difficult to make a minimalist area feel comfortable. If you are unable to remove a paintbrush or make holes in the walls, this is especially true. In light of this, here are a few quick, easy, and affordable methods to add a sense of familiarity to a space you are new too.

Choose a calming colour scheme

Regardless of the colour of the walls, selecting furniture and soft furnishings in a soft palette of biscuit, stone, and grey will quickly make the space feel cosy and comfortable. Increase the number of blankets and pillows for a nice touch.

Select an organic appearance utilising simple materials

Uncertain about how to launch an industrial project? To help give a stark or lofty room a natural touch, choose furnishings and fabrics that are inspired by organic or natural elements, such as rattan and wood. Any amount of wood immediately makes a room feel cosier. You may create a warm home by including wooden elements like hardwood floors, furniture like dressers or coffee tables, shelving, or accents like bowls, pedestals, and trays. 

Incorporate layers and texture 

Even an empty space can feel cosy and inviting when it is covered in layers of soft textures. Crisp white sheets, heavy knits, and basket weaves are all that is required to transform a plain space into a cosy sanctuary. Try using throw blankets and ornamental pillows as well. One of the simplest methods to change the mood, appearance, and season of your room is by changing the pillow covers! No of the season, we always need blankets and throws in our home! 

Display your favourite artistic creations

Displaying photos of loved ones, charming symbols, or favourite sayings can give any space an instant personality boost. Drilling through the wall is not possible: Hang photos or postcards from a length of thread over a headboard or curtain rod, and lean large-scale artwork or posters against a wall in a monochrome frame. 

Bring outside elements within 

Put natural plants on ledges, shelves, or windowsills to instantly make a space feel cosier. Pick simple jam jars for a cheap fix, or combine several vases for an eclectic aesthetic.

Use lighting to establish a cosy atmosphere

Want to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere in your room? Choose colours that give a soft glow rather than blue-tinted or glaring white lights. To increase the impact of your lighting, arrange tea lights and candles, hang fairy lights, or add an origami pendant shade to an existing bulb. Nothing creates a cosier atmosphere than a fireplace, so seek out wood burning stoves to make your space feel and look amazing. 

Clever storage techniques 

Not enough room in the cabinets for storage? To keep your new area organised, stylish baskets, copper bins, and an industrial-style cabinet are great substitutes for a straightforward chest of drawers. They are the best of all, don't need to be attached to a wall, and are simple to update if you want to modify your design.
