13 Decor ideas to steal from commercial spaces

Sometimes I believe that commercial spaces have all the fun when it comes to interior design. Be it bars, restaurants, shops, exhibition halls or hotels, it seems like there’s always an element or two you swoon over. Maybe it’s because they take more risks and are more open to bold ideas because of the strong competition they have to deal with or their experience with customers have taught them what works best. Whatever the real reason is, I will forever find myself noticing at least a detail worth photographing and “stealing” from a coffee shop or hotel I visit.

Here are 13 examples to jumpstart your commercial space envy. 

How to add coziness to your home this winter

Switching everything up for winter and preparing your home as if the apocalypse is coming might be a pretty much safe plan, but you certainly don’t want to add more mess to your home, because messy is not cozy.

While all cozy and warm things tend to normally be very bulky, it is possible to add warmth through different small tricks and additions, without particular fuss and big spending.

1. Neutral blankets and throws

Think white, beige, grey, camel and any neutral color for all the winter blankets and throws, especially those you keep by the sofa to curl up in the evenings. Not only won’t they interfere with your home style and holiday decorations, but it helps maintain a calm visual space. Even if you keep them out in the living room all the time, it won’t scream that much “mess”. This can be done in every home, no matter the color of your décor. Make sure to choose textured and soft throws for extra coziness.
