Còsagach: A Scottish Home Trend You Will Adore

With each new year, we are waiting to see what the world’s trendsetters have in store for us. It is safe to say that you can slowly step away from Hygge and embrace a different type of comfort. This year has us focused on the comfort of warm simplicity brought to us by Scottish Cosagach. The term describes the snug feeling within the comfort of your home. It is worth looking into it as Scottish people have spent hundreds of years putting up with harsh weather and are managing to stay positive.

Start with the warmth

Every décor trend teaches us the importance of light within one’s home. While of course, you have to incorporate some light, this year, continue using candles but focus on a fireplace. The fireplace will provide heat throughout the day and a charming light and crackling in the evening. There is no other similar type of warmth.

Materials

We are still using the natural materials. Perhaps you should look into unfinished wood or, generally, rough finishes as they provide texture and seem more genuine. We have just mentioned wood, and that should be your top priority. This particularly applies to wooden floors and beams. Stone is another excellent choice for a building material since it is literally taken out of nature and incorporated into your home.

Fabrics

The fabrics you choose for your Cosagach home should also be natural. Since we are following a Scottish trend, we should look into the Scottish tradition. The tradition brings us tweed, lambskin, wool, fur, leather, and checked patterns such as tartan.

Dress your floors

Wooden floorboards are the best type of floor you can have in your home. As nice as they are, the rough finish can be warmed up by additional fluffiness provided by rugs. Hand-made wool rugs will add color to your home and provide the necessary comfort. In order to feel snug, you can lay animal skin next to your bad, or in your lounge, to cuddle with your feet.

The wall art

As light can only exist if there is darkness, so can the Cosagach comfort if it is placed next to the natural elements it is sheltering you from. Decorate your walls with paintings of winter sceneries, cruel mountains, and meadows in the rain. Make sure the colors are vivid since, regardless of what they are reminding you of, they should not make your home gloomy.

The furniture

You do not want the furniture to contrast the rest of the house, so by the same rule, use furniture made of natural materials. However, if you cannot replace all of your furniture, you can use throws and tablecloths to make it in what you want it to be.

You will need a lot of cushions as well as several checked and woolen blankets. Create a cozy playing, relaxing, or sitting area next to the fireplace using the cushions.

The colors

Envision living in a mountain hut and the colors surrounding you. This is exactly what you are after. Since you are relying on the light for warmth, consult painting companies when selecting the right hues. You want them to be warm even after they are applied to your walls.

A good thing about your décor so far is that some of the light will be produced by the fireplace, which is the same type of warm glow you get on a sunny afternoon. The colors to choose for your walls are mostly different hues of grey, brown, and green.

Decorative items

Cosagach requires a lot of creativity and a return to nature. Instead of going through stores, you can look for decorative items in woods and meadows. Collect leaves, acorns, pinecones, and dry wildflowers to decorate your tables and shelves. Apart from the already-mentioned wall art used for a specific purpose, you can also use animal motives when decorating your home.

The Cosagach is as simple and as comfortable as sitting around the fire sipping tea. This is why it is so encaptivating and it is safe to say that if you choose this type of décor and lifestyle, you will very soon fall in love with it. Use the Easter Holidays to visit the home of Cosagach and seek further inspiration.
