The location of warm floors should be thought out in advance: as a rule, they are placed in the hallway, kitchen, bathroom and laundry room.

Textiles Moreover, the material does not always have to bebe warm, to create a feeling of warmth: the larger the texture of the fabric, the cozier it will look. Of the materials that create a warm, cozy atmosphere, wool can be called. But dense silk looks quite cold. Materials with a pronounced weave, such as braided blankets, visually add warmth to the room.

Lighting will also help make the interior visually warm. Each lamp has its own light temperature, and the higher it is, the bluer the light becomes. Choose incandescent bulbs with a high temperature. Plants In an effort to make the room morewarm, don't forget about flowers, which will bring coziness to the interior thanks to natural shades. Greenery, both vertical and hanging, enriches the interior with a grassy green color, which, unlike cold green, visually warms the room.
