Create a cosy interior with a woodburning stove

11 Mar

While white has reined supreme in the world of interiors for quite some time, that trend is on the wane; instead the newest wave of interior designers and lifestyle bloggers are opting for a look that’s altogether more, well, cosy.

The trend-setting Soho house members’ club has recently opened a brand new venture in the Oxfordshire countryside offering log cabins and rooms, all of which are decorated in a rustic, homely, cosy style – and as a brand that’s famed for its forward thinking, there’s no doubt that this is the trendiest look in interior design right now.

Ready your canvas

Unlike the prevalent minimalist look which denotes a palette of neutral colours, for this look you can choose from a much more varied colour scheme. While you don’t want to make a room feel small with dark walls, one or two feature walls in an exposed brick or panelling really enhances the rustic feel.

Expose your floorboards and stain them in a rich, dark colour if you can; while most family homes don’t have wooden walls or beams to expose, floorboards can be a great way to bring some wood into your living space.

Add some flair

Of course, one of the best ways to make your home feel cosy is with your soft furnishings; choose sofas and chairs in darker, richer colours and materials – chesterfields work beautifully with this look. You can also add heavy curtains and sumptuous rugs to make sure any guests feel instantly at ease in your homely home.

Woodburning stoves can add a really authentic touch and a log cabin feel, creating warmth in the room, a focal point that isn’t a TV and a delightful soundtrack of crackling and popping as your logs burn. Store logs in a rustic basket next to the stove to keep it looking great even when it isn’t in use.

Finish off your interior theme with some beautiful cushions and throws – for use and not just for show! Thick tartan blankets look fantastic draped over chairs and sofas or stored in a blanket basket, but they’re also great for wrapping up in on the long winter nights. Soften up your sofa with an eclectic selection of cushions, and your cosy look is ready to go.
