*The dark and cold days are coming again. Time to bring some fun into your home. Fortunately, with these budget tips you can give your living room a cozy makeover. Because let's face it:nothing is more cozy than a cozy living room with fine accessories, while it is blowing, raining or snowing outside.
Autumn has arrived and that means the days are getting shorter and the evenings longer. It is getting dark earlier and earlier and you notice that in the house. The heat of the summer is replaced by the warmth of the heating and atmospheric candles. Outside it is blowing, raining and storming, but inside you make it cozy.
An absolute must to get the cosiness indoors are candles. Candles provide just that little bit more atmosphere and are also romantic. The perfect accessory to spend a pleasant evening on the couch with your sweetheart. Candles come in all kinds of variants:small, large, round or square. In addition, you can completely match the color of the candles to your interior.
Candles actually fit anywhere in the living room. Place them on the windowsill, so that the warmth and coziness can also be seen from outside. Place a number of candles in glass candle holders and place them on the living room or dining table for the right atmosphere. Do you have a chimney? Then you can also place a number of candles here.
Preferably put candles in groups. Combine large and small candles and feel free to choose different colors to have a decorative whole during the day. In addition to regular candles, you can also opt for some scented candles. A scent that fits your feeling, the atmosphere and the season is highly recommended. For Christmas you can replace the candles on the table with a (homemade) Advent wreath containing 4 candles. A fun way to count down to Christmas.
Pillows and a plaid should of course not be missing from the list of low budget tips to give your living room a cozy makeover. Replace cheerful summer cushions with fluffy cushions in real autumn colours. With regard to the living trends 2018 – 2019, you can go in different directions when it comes to colors. Simply adapt the colors to your interior and provide plenty of cushion, which you can dive into when you're sitting on the couch.
In addition to pillows, you can also put a plaid on the couch. The plaid not only provides a cozy and intimate look, but is perfect for when it gets a bit colder inside. Heating on, candles on and sitting under the plaid and enjoying a cozy movie. Just like the cushions, the plaids are available in different designs and colours, which can be perfectly matched to your interior.
