These five warm styles will conquer any interior

During this winter period, we all yearn for a cosy and warm interior and Pinterest is often scoured for new ideas. Cosiness and warmth can sometimes be found in small details and even an industrial style can make you feel incredibly cosy. From a warm steel look to a Japanese-inspired style: dream away with the five warm interior styles below. #1: A warm steel look The industrial look has been very popular in recent years. Black steel is on the rise and can be found in many homes. Still, an industrial interior often gets the stamp of being unsociable and cold. That steel doesn't have to make your interior cold is easily proven. By using warm lamps and natural elements such as plants and natural stone, steel no longer gives a chilly feeling. By using soft textiles, the industrial look is brought to life in a cosy way. #2: Scandinavian design Minimalism and functionality are characteristics that characterise the Scandinavian style. They have had an impact on how we all look at design. Scandinavian design gives your home a northern feel without feeling cold. Minimalism, clean design and purity do not equal coldness. The use of light wood, especially oak, makes a Scandinavian interior instantly homely and warm. Oak is so pure and clean that you immediately want to touch it; it invites you to be tactile. That's why the adjective cold never belongs in a Scandinavian interior. The aim is to create an open and homely atmosphere. #3: Brazilian modernism Brazilian modernism is winning more and more interior design hearts. The combination of warm influences and brutalist shapes could very well take the popular Scandinavian interior off its number one spot. This style can really bring opposites together; it seeks an interaction between cold and warm materials. Wood and natural stone, for example, provide a shared balance. We're moving away from white, minimalist design and are once again seeking warmth and tranquillity with this iconic architectural movement. People and nature are at its heart. The addition of living room plants to bring the exterior inside is therefore a must. The Ruben chair fits in perfectly with this style, as it is the perfect combination of natural materials and rough shapes. With its wooden frame and woven rattan seat, this chair is perfect for a Brazilian modernist interior. #4: Peace and serenity in a Japanese interior Japanese architecture and design are popular thanks to their characteristic peace and serenity, combined with a cosy warmth. Many architects, including Mies van der Rohe, saw Japanese architecture as a source of inspiration. Spacious, peaceful buildings with an eye for detail, which makes for a relaxing interior design. With a delicious cup of tea, a Japanese interior can make you feel completely zen. It's an art to remove things and to draw nature into your interior. #5: Wabi Sabi: perfect imperfection We say goodbye to symmetry and polished interiors and welcome the perfection of imperfect design with Wabi Sabi. Wabi Sabi in Japanese philosophy means "the beauty of imperfection, simplicity and nature". The style opts for authentic materials and asymmetry, thus bringing tranquillity to our homes by settling for the imperfect. It pays homage to the beauty of things by deliberately allowing natural materials to age. Warmth is immediately present in the Wabi Sabi style.
