Do not leave the house: 20 things that will add comfort to the apartment
Text: Anya Krotikova
With the onset of cold weather more often want after work, run straight to bed, and on the weekends arrange home-made dinners with friends or watch movies together. To add comfort to the apartment in which all this will take place, quite a couple of small things are enough - we remembered the obvious (and not so) techniques that will help turn the house into a place where you can survive autumn and winter comfortably.
Bedroom
Belberg electrosheet, 1690 rub. Monki slippers, € 15 Humidifier Electrolux, 6990 rub. Aromadiffusor Muji, $ 69.5 Bed linen H & M Home, 4999 rub.The main problem of the heating season is dry air in the apartment, which is most felt in the bedroom (especially if you are not ready to open the window at night). A humidifier can help fight drought - many models today are compact enough to fit on a dresser, but powerful enough to cope with a whole room. If neither you nor your indoor plants experience serious problems with dry air, you can confine yourself to aroma diffusion - it practically does not affect the humidity indicator in an apartment, but it helps to relax before going to bed. Another life hacking for those who have trouble falling asleep is an electric sheet that warms the bed to a comfortable temperature in advance, and a set of linen made of soft velvet — it feels nicer than cotton to the touch, but does not slip, unlike silk.
Bathroom
Missoni Home Bathrobe, £ 180 IKEA rug, 999 rub. Blind for the bathroom H & M Home, 1499 rub. Organizer for bathroom trifles Bag-all, $ 14 Aromamaslo The Body Shop, 330 rub.There is no greater misfortune than a bathroom in which it is gloomy and cold: when in the morning the prospect of running on tiptoes on an ice plate looms, the motivation for getting up to work drops to a critical point. You can solve the problem with small forces: lay a fluffy rug on the floor (do not forget to dry it properly), add light and choose a full-size bath curtain - it will keep the heat and protect the surface from splashes. If the long bath procedures - your evening ritual, think about soothing or invigorating aroma oils, and for storing cosmetics, choose lockable cabinets or thick woven pouches - high humidity does not do her good.
Living room
Carpet Zara Home, 12 599 rub. Heater Dyson, 34 990 rub. Dried flowers "Fair Masters", price on request Curtains H & M Home, 1299 rub. Plaid Designboom, 10 900 rub.In the cold season, we spend at least as much time in the living room as in the bedroom, which means that it’s time to re-equip the room as a place to meet friends and have a relaxing evening rest. If you want to keep warm in the room, then choose massive curtains, and if you add natural light - on the contrary, light curtains. Textiles like carpets and rugs made of dense natural materials will also be useful - they will keep the heat in the room. The most cold is to think about buying a heater - it will solve the problem of cold evenings and unwillingness to get out from under the blanket.
Kitchen
Urban Outfitters Lamp, $ 229 Tray Zara Home, 4999 rub. Set for cocktails Fizz Creations, 2090 rub. IKEA Succulent, 899 rub. Life and Plastic Reusable Mesh for Vegetables and Fruits, $ 8-10Cooking together is another way to diversify winter evenings and bring old friends together. So that cooking pasta does not turn into chaos, pre-divide the roles among the participants, and equip cocktails with the most skilled cutters. Comfort of space will add little things like trays, with which you can sit in any room, indoor plants, local light sources and thoughtful storage systems. Fruits and some vegetables, for example, can be kept in reusable nets (with them you can go to the store), turning them into full-fledged decorative elements.
