How to make your bedroom the coziest place on Earth

You can buy the most expensive furniture for your bedroom but the place can still not be so great as you imagine it. The trick is to create a cozy vibe so you will want to spend every minute in that room. Here are some tips how to do it.

First of all, hang string lights above your bed to add a little magic. Hanging the lights behind a sheet or thin curtain helps make your room feel like a wonderfull place.

Next thing - skip the top sheet and just put a nice washable duvet cover on your comforter. Sleeping top-sheetless feels very luxurious. It also means making the bed is basically zero work. Also throw down an extra fuzzy bedside rug to make things easier for your feet in the morning.

Remember to make your bed every day. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just do it. You’ll feel like you’re in a hotel, but the hotel is free, and you’re the only guest! If you’re not feeling motivated, you can reward yourself with an candy or something every time you make the bed.

Finally, invest in a lighting. Nice bedside lamp is a way to go. You never again have to get up to turn off the overhead light. Also light makes such a huge difference in the feel of a space. Add some low, soft lighting to your bedroom. Be sure to pick bulbs with warm tones, too.

First - the budget
The price for a coffee table can range from expensive to very budget friendly, so before you start shopping know what budget you have. Your overall budget should be broken down to into areas such as, accessories, lighting and furniture. The furniture line item includes the sofa, side tables, chairs and coffee table, with a larger portion allocated to the bigger pieces.

Next - chose the shape
Think about the best shape for the space for your living room. Do you have children or pets? Is it a large room or is it small? A round or oval coffee table is ideal if you have children or pets. The curved edge means a sharp corner injures if one falls or bumps into it. Using a rectangular shape and allowing 30 inches between the TV console and the coffee table will give you the right amount of room to walk between.

A proper size
As with shape, you will need to determine the size you need. The height of a coffee table is important. It should be no lower than 1-2 inches from the seat of your couch. The standard height for a table is 16-18 inches and pairs well with a typical sized couch. A higher sofa requires a taller table.

How to mix old and new furniture

Today we will give you some tips to help you pull all your differing pieces and styles together for one cohesive space.
Merging households, inherited furnishings, well-intentioned gifts that miss the mark, and the occasional impulse buy contribute to decorating dreams getting off track. As you may know, you can't have it all, but you can have some of it.

Mix of modern and antique furniture

First and most important - 80/20 rule. It works like this: as long as 80 per cent of your interior is unified by the same style, same period or same philosophy, you can deviate with the other 20 %. In other words, a fine antique can absolutely work in an ultramodern space with glass wardrobe and futuristic sofas.

Remebmer that some styles just don't mix. For example, Victorian decor is all about ornate excess, while Arts and Crafts favours simplicity. Therefore, Victorian decor marries well with Edwardian, Asian, formal English, and French furniture, while Arts and Crafts is better with contemporary pieces or country styles.

When mixing woods, consider formality: mahogany, cherry and oak are formal, so they'll go well with one another. Pine, maple, and bamboo are casual choices, which means that they're compatible with one another but less so with formal woods used in furniture. When more than one rug is required in an open space, be sure to choose carpets that harmonize rather than match.

In general, contemporary interiors feature 20 % multitone patterns and 80 % solid or tone-on-tone materials.

Traditional interiors tip the balance in favour of patterns. So if your family room is modern with monochromatic neutral fabrics, add some large floral-patterned pillows to your sofa. Conversely, a traditional pattern-filled room requires visual breathing space, so incorporate solid expanses of colour.
