‘All together now’

Cozy Lounge Interior Design IdeasSeptember tends to be an emotional month in many family homes. It is the month of ‘Back to…’ whether that be school, work, nursery or just ‘back to reality’ after a lovely summer holiday or break for those fortunate enough to have had some time off. It is also often a month of new beginnings, younger children starting reception, older children starting high school and also the start of Autumn.

All these new starts and changes invariably mean one thing – chaos! Yellow and grey loft for relaxationMornings are spent scrabbling around for mislaid items, grabbing breakfast on the go and often having a minor dispute with another family member. Evenings and weekends are spent getting used to new homework schedules for children and fitting in work not quite achieved during the day for parents. This is all before anyone even mentions the scheduling of sports, activities, parties and catching up with friends and family.

In short, family life is manic and at no time more than the start of a new school year. Gray and orange family denHere at nest we believe that the space around you really has an impact on how you feel. The colours and textures you surround yourself with, the way that light enters a room, acoustics and furnishings all combine to influence our mood. We’re increasingly asked by clients to create a space where all the family can escape the frantic pace of life for a few hours. Often referred to as ‘The Den’, this room could be for watching films, reading, listening to music, playing instruments or board games. Most importantly, it is for relaxing and being together.

Design ideas for blue, grey and yellow loungeOften, we will create a cocooning feel in these rooms, dark or rich colours work brilliantly to help you to unwind, soft and velvety textures along with squashy sofas and cushions encourage you to sink back. Low-level lighting enhances a cosy and tranquil feel. Included are a few examples of family snugs we have worked on previously but if the idea of an inviting refuge appeals to you as the nights draw in then we can help you create the perfect space for this.
