Small apartment, still cozy: 9 tricks for winter.

Cozy has little to do with square footage. It's about light, materials, sound, and a few habits. Here are nine tricks that work even in 40 m².

The 9 tricks

What makes a small apartment cozy.

  1. Light at three heights

    Instead of a ceiling light: a floor lamp, a table lamp, a small light at eye level. Warm white, not cool white.

  2. Ceiling light off

    Turn off the ceiling light in the evening and only turn on the small islands of light. The room immediately feels calmer.

  3. A real flame

    Candles or a tabletop fire bring moving light. Always on a stable, non-flammable surface and never left unattended.

  4. Zones with rugs

    A rug under the sofa makes it its own island. This makes one room feel like two.

  5. Soft textiles

    Blankets, pillows, curtains made of wool, linen, or bouclé dampen sound and feel warm.

  6. Natural materials

    Stone, wood, and ceramics feel warmer than plastic and glass. One piece is enough.

  7. A quiet sound

    Splashing water in the background covers street noise and neighbors. Quiet enough that you only hear it in silence.

  8. Green, even in winter

    Two, three plants in beautiful bowls. They bring life into the room when it's gray outside.

  9. Less on surfaces

    Free surfaces make a small room look larger. Three beautiful things instead of twenty.

Trick 3: a real flame

Tabletop fire for small rooms.

Enjoy safely

Tabletop fires burn with liquid bioethanol, which is not included in the delivery. Only refill when the flame is out and the fire has cooled down. Do not close windows completely, keep away from curtains. Everything important is in our guide Are ethanol fireplaces on the table dangerous?
