A home never feels like a home until it has a lived-in and cozy look about it. So even when you’re going for a modern, austere interior design style for your renovation, it is important that you implement moderation. You do not want your space to look cold and uninviting. The idea is to make it seem like a welcoming place to be in after a long, hard day outside. Here’s how you can make your home looks like a cozy nest:
1. Lighting matters

Lighting is always a linchpin design element whenever you’re trying to create a particular ambiance. Every interior design style has a certain aesthetic that can only be complemented by a specific lighting design. So when you’re trying to make your home look like a cozy nest, make sure that all lighting fixtures are affixed with warm hued lighting. The gold incandescence automatically lends a comfortable aura to the whole setting.
2. Wooden hues

What can be more comforting then nature’s own version of cozy? Wood is one of those all-rounding materials that have an incredibly warm and inviting aura. You can use wooden textured laminates, vinyl, tiling and other composite materials to emulate a cozy, welcoming ambiance in your interior designs.
3. Go for rustic

The rustic style now features all kinds of contemporary versions, but the one thing that remains constant about this style is its ability to translate comfort into a physical ambiance. Therefore, if you are looking to make your homes seem and feel as cozy and comfortable as you can, you must definitely consider the rustic style for your renovation. Its timeworn, lived-in aesthetic is just the right blend of stylish and cozy.
4. With accents

Of course you must never compromise on the style while emulating the idea of cozy. So the best way to blend both concepts is to go for metal accents. Brushed brass, nickel, copper and even gold trimming looks excellent when paired with gold lighting and wooden cladding. Metal accents have an inherent trendiness that makes coziness looks absolutely trendy.
5. Don’t compromise modernity

While coziness and comfort are two extremely crucial details that convert a house into a home, that does not mean you have to compromise on the modernity. There are tons of ways you can easily blend both ideas into a single, cohesive unit. Keep the warm textures and lighting, but make the execution clean and minimal. This is a great idea for those looking to combine the ‘lived-in’ look with contemporary twists.
