Rund's Halloween Makeup TutorialOct.27.2020
For all those who have fled the nest – or even just have a thing for interior design – we know how challenging it can be to decorate an empty apartment. In this series from The Modern East, we show you how to get the look from some of those amazing Pinterest / Insta pics – with items that we can find around here. Today we look at how to design a cozy apartment.
Most of us around here live in rentals – but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t make our place feel like home. Feeling cozy and comfy in your home is a MUST for a healthy life. You home is your sanctuary, and should be the place where you feel the most comfortable. Here are my 6 quick tips to make sure that you have the perfect cozy apartment!

Choose a comforting color palette when designing your place. Opting for furniture in a soft palette of beige, stone and grey can instantly make the room feel relaxed and homely.

Adding tons of cushions and blankets to your sofa can really bring in that cozy feeling right away. And the floor? Add a shaggy rug for a comfy touch – you should be able to comfortably sit on the floor!
Framing pics of loved ones, some cool graphic work or some Inso quotes will immediately add a very personal touch to any room. Can’t drill into the wall? No worries – just place all of your large scale prints in a monochrome frame and lean them against the wall.
Adding in some plants and flowers into your space can be a fast track to that homely feeling. Not only do they look great, but house plants have been said to improve your health, breathing and focus throughout the day.

Lighting is a crucial element in getting that cozy mood. Stay away from bright white lights, and opt for hues of yellow that will add a soft glow. And no need to settle for just 1 light source, why not place several lamps around the space to keep the lighting consistent throughout the room.
Not only will these help with getting that soft yellow glow throughout your space, but candles are extremely calming and soothing – and can make the room feel very special. Another thing I love about candles? The scent! Choose a collection of candles from the same scent family that you love (vanilla, lavender, cedar wood etc..) to add to the cozy mood that you have set.
