How to create a feeling of comfort in your home
Follow 3 easy steps to get you started.
How To Guides
Your home should always be the ultimate comfort zone. A place that helps you feel revitalised and relaxed, because a welcoming home can do wonders for your wellbeing. Whilst ‘comfort’ is by no means a new ‘trend’, over recent years it has become a more holistic and multifaceted experience. Dulux colour featured: Pax
A sense of comfort can be beautifully captured by the right blend of colours, styling, balance and design. From incorporating soft or spirited tones to adopting textural and natural interior elements, it can all play a big part in curating a calm and comfy haven.
Here are three ways to create a refreshing sense of comfort at home.
1. Choose the right wall colour
The colour of your walls will set the mood of your home. Rich tones like Sassy can add a tangible sense of warmth, giving shared spaces a welcoming feel.
Natural hues like Winter Terrace or Natural Flora can bring the enrichment of the outside in.
Meanwhile, warm whites and neutrals like Hint of Lavender and Ghost Town Quarter can add luminous, fresh, natural and light qualities that can create a pop of energy and optimism.
2. Introduce soft furnishings and styling elements
With a strong backdrop on your walls, like the contemporary and inviting combination of Dulux Natural White™ and Maiko, you can use rich, textural fabrics to elicit the feeling of a warm hug.
With such a mood-boosting palette, you can also introduce plush velvets, suedes and faux furs to create a welcoming softness throughout the décor.
3. Create considered nooks and spaces
By cleverly making use of small spaces in your home to fashion cosy reading nooks and restful zones, you can create a sensation of cocooning comfort.
Envelop your nook in a clean and calming tone like Dulux Antique White U.S.A.® paired with Ecru, for a rejuvenating backdrop to plush furnishings like arms chairs that invite restful moments of pause and contemplation.
In essence, colour is the key to creating comfort in your home. When you paint the perfect backdrop, considered styling can help you curate a space that can inspire, revive and relax and when you paint your walls with Dulux Wash&Wear®, you can rest easy in the knowledge that your high-quality finish will look freshly painted for years to come.
