It took my breath away!!! The other night I walked into our sunroom and I felt like I was seeing it for the first time. One word came to mind when I walked in….inviting. This room has two totally different personalities. During the day it’s a true sunroom with the sun pouring in from the huge windows and reflecting off the light fabrics. But at night the darkness creates a totally different experience.
I love how darkness can completely transform our homes at night. There’s no point bring scared of the dark when the room looks and feels like this one does. If you want to create a nighttime space that is warm, inviting and unbelievably cozy you only need a few key items and these work even if you are on a tight budget!
- Lighting: Firepits and lamps offer mood and warmth. Add lights at different heights and don’t forget to get rid of the shadows with lighting BEHIND things as well.
- Textures: Fur blankets and wool rugs offer decadence and interest. Something magical happens when you combine textures with layers…it creates a cozy space that makes it difficult to leave.
- Shapes: Spheres and curtains balance linear lines with sinuous forms. This is a great way to add visual interest and intrigue to a room.
- Coziness: A plush sofa, a movie or fire on the tv, the curtains drawn and the blankets messy… that’s where the real magic is at!
