Making a new build house cozy!

 

I recently moved from an old farmhouse with loads of character, wooden beams, old fireplaces and a huge garden to a new build bungalow, (definatley not me but as my lovely farmer is there of course I am not going to complain and go elsewhere) with very little character and much smaller garden, but I must admit very very very easy to keep clean ......so thats a bonus.

I have been really struggling to make the place cozy. Its large downstairs living/dining room drives me mad as no matter what I do I just can't get the place looking how I want it.

I love clutter......nice clutter obviously.......photos......flowers.......candles........just stuff in general. I have added new curtains and obviously cushions and crocheted blankets but its not happening. Plants, pictures and even bunting in places!

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH.............................

I have just found this blog Cozy Things which is brilliant and will hopefully help me out.

Any other suggestions would be very welcome as Im dreading the winter months. I am currently busy trawling internet sites and magazines for ideas. I would never have imagined it would be so difficult.

  1. hello :) thank you for your lovely comment this morning it made my day x
    I'd love a bit more space but can appreciate how bigger rooms are less cozy, maybe you could concentrate on having little corners that are a bit more snuggly with a few chairs,a lamp and your crochet, fairy lights always cheer up a space...wallpaper too..oooh it makes me want to go and rearrange my furniture now:) have fun x x
