Closer to nature
Where do we usually want to go on a weekend in good weather? To the park, to the lake, to the forest. Fresh air and greenery will revive any space and add optimism. To be closer to nature will help wooden furniture and decoration, living plants, fireplace, aquarium with fish. Watching slow underwater inhabitants or calm flames in the fireplace - it's almost meditation!
Little things, but it's nice
For a long time there has been the Internet, smartphones, electronic books, but the paper editions are not only not going to the background, but also experiencing a new wave of popularity. There is some charm in the printed book: each has its own size, design, history and even aroma. If you like to read at leisure, do not deny yourself the pleasure to do it with comfort!
Film lovers in the lounge area can place the projector. At least 2 meters of free wall and blanket curtains for 2 hours will take you to the fascinating world of cinema. In your own home theater you can always put the movie on pause to go for a delicious meal.
Fans of retro-style, and maybe even connoisseurs of vinyl in the lounge area can put a player. By the way, some Soviet-era "turntables" still work, and modern music companies produce new vinyl players in retro or high-tech design. But even if you don't want to listen to vinyl, and your parents gave you a collection of records, you can use them as a decor.
If you can't live without your hobby, all you need in the lounge area is an armchair in front of a shelf with your collection to admire!
Perfume, fragrance diffusers, candles, pleasant light music, anti-stress pillows and various massagers - everything you need for effective relaxation. The atmosphere is created from trifles.
In the end, the style of your lounge area, like no other, should meet only your needs. Fashion, age and social status is not in control of a person at leisure: if you want - drink in cozy cocoa pajamas, if you want - read the classics. Apartment recreation area is a kind of disobedience celebration, only with a plus sign. For body and soul.
After the city crowds on holidays, you probably wanted a house from the woods a little more. Where there are less people and less noise. Fantasize about how it could be.
Why do we need a cabin in the woods
A small house away from the city is the best place to interrupt the information flow. Social media news, postings and message notifications jam our own thoughts.
Imagine yourself in this small wooden hut in Norway. Without a phone, tablet and laptop. The first couple of days your fingers will instinctively try to unlock the paper book.
And then you'll notice how beautifully your house, painted blue, looks beautiful against the background of yellow leaves.
Suddenly there'll be time to read everything that's been delayed for a long time. For such a case, it would be nice to make room for a library. The bigger the window, the more natural light your eyes love. By the way, we have already written about it in the article "How to make a corner for reading".
The most tired of the bustle will love lying in a hammock and watching the clouds swim. No reports, deadlines or meetings: just you and your cabin away from the city.
It doesn't take much to be happy. Your perfect cabin can be very tiny.
But if you decide to share the joy of nature with your friends, you'll need a bigger house. The main thing is that there is untouched nature around and every meter gave a feeling of comfort.
Interior of the hut in the forest
The first rule of the interior is more natural finishing materials. Stone and wood are the most harmonious of all in harmony with the forest outside the window.
The interior of the forest hut can be modern. To get one, use light monochrome wood, stylish furniture and accessories.
Don't forget the fireplace. Sitting next to him with a book in the evenings and listening to the crackling of logs is the best meditation.
How to add a sense of a forest hut to your apartment
Item 1: Fireplace
If you, like the author, do not yet have a private cabin, try to add comfort to the apartment.
The first thing you can do is add a decorative fireplace. Leave it empty or install an electric heater with a screen and it will be cozy.
Elements of a decorative fireplace
Item 2: Cozy furniture
Don't forget about the cozy chair where you'll rest by the fireplace. Absolutely soft and comfortable.
Item 3: Carpet
Another attribute of the forest house is a fluffy carpet or a skin on the floor.
Item 4: Deer horns
Luxury antlers on the wall will create the atmosphere of a hunting lodge.
The impressive bookcase is a real generator of comfort. It is pleasant just to walk up to it and pass the palm of your hand over the roots of books, breathe in their smell.
