Create a Cocooning Environment for your home

Today we’re going to talk about our decoration inspirations and also give you the best tips on how to create a soft and warm cocooning environment in your home thanks to knitting. Tons of ideas for your interior decorating and your next WAK projects can be found below!

TRANSFORM A ROOM INTO A NEST

There’s nothing like wool to create a cozy atmosphere, so let’s put a little bit everywhere! We’re going to throw blankets over beds and couches, lots of cushions in various sizes, we’re going to warm up the room with a pretty rug, we’re going to knit some placemats and add a personal touch to an antique piece  by adorning  it with wool.

Don’t be afraid to mix different materials. Combine your woolen projects with wood and leather to create a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. Wool also goes really well with other textiles such as linen or cotton fabric.

Play around with overlaying mismatched knitwear, of different shapes and textures. Mix up different textures in the same shades y opt for more distinct and soft patterns. Cables, for example, provide traditional style and an authentic and really comfortable look.

THE COLOR SPECTRUM

­

Opt for neutral colors, in cameo shades: white, sand, beige, gray and some slightly darker colors for a velvety atmosphere in Scandinavian style. If you prefer other shades, make sure to choose dark colors that combine well with the dominant materials in the room you want to decorate.

OUR FAVORITE IDEAS

Place a folded blanket on a stool or dresser. Not only is it functional, but it adds warmth and softness to a room.

Put your knitted project on a hanger and hang it on the door, a mirror or a coat rack. It’s a simple, decorative idea and an original way of showing off your work!
