Warm up your home with interior design

 

Attracting new tenants during winter could be a challenging process. Hence, interior design should be fully utilised to make a home seem warmer and more comfortable. In New Zealand, we use a couple of home design tips to make your house look cosier and warmer.

 

Trick of the light

You can start small, with additional lamps and light fittings dotted around the place.

Extra light will brighten up any room in contrast to the grey skies outside, making it far more inviting

If you can match lamp shades to the colour scheme in the room for a warmer effect, all the better, as autumnal colours like orange or red on a shade will significantly increase the 'warmth' of a room.

 

Rich texture

Have you ever been in a store with fluffy blankets, and just not been able to resist touching them?

Textured curtains, cushions, couch and bed throws work in the same way. They invite you in and make you feel cosy.

 

Warm colours

If you're thinking of repainting a room or the whole house before a sale, consider making the space more inviting by using warm coloured paints. This doesn’t necessarily mean shrieking bright colours.  Warmed up neutrals can add a subtle sense of warmth to a space while still being versatile to work with a wide range of furnishings.

Remember to also treat your front door to a fresh coat of paint in a bold warm colour for a really warm welcome.   Bright reds are always popular.  Or opt for a bold orange for a cheery warm hello.

Burnt oranges, ruby reds and rich browns all make a space feel like it radiates warmth and will not go out of fashion when summer rolls around.
