Now we move on to an article addressing the Cozy Decorating style. This is another installment in our Three Steps to Define Your Decorating Style series. Last time we discussed the Modern decorating style and in this article we will discuss what it means to have a Cozy Style.

Being cozy in your decorating has a relaxed and inviting look. It’s warm, traditional and built for daily activities and visits from family and friends. You’ll find influences from English and early-American furniture designs popping up and even farmhouse, cottage and country can be a part of this style. Furnishings that are weathered and wear well keep this look very livable.

If you are cozy, you’ll want to decorate with:

• Solid textiles
• Solid furnishings that can stand up to lots of wear
• Plush upholstery, even slipcovers
• Sofas with squared or rolled arms
• Natural fabrics like wool or cotton for upholstery, pillows and drapes
• Simple stripes
• Muted and unfussy florals
• Warm wood tones that look weathered or distressed

Wall Slicks that go well with this style are: Stripes wall stickers, Sea Shells wall decals and our Bloom Florals wall stickers.

In our next post, we will go into details on what defines the Vintage Style. Until then, happy DIY decorating from your friends at Wall Slicks, the Original Wall Decal Store.
