This video is about my living room makeover and how to make your home cozy. I paint my living room green (the color is Pan by COAT paints) to give a relaxing aesthetic. I went for full color drenching and painted the walls, ceilings, and all woodwork in the same green. Previously the lounge and dining space was cold, and painted with a cheap white paint, but with this earthy moss green, the room immediately becomes warm and cocooning. I added dimmable lighting in the form of lamps, picture lights and an overheat swag light. Lots of individual pockets of light gives maximum flexibility to illuminate the space in many different ways to set the mood, be it ambient, warm, cozy for reading, listening to music or chilling out. The idea was to create my very own home sanctuary.

Lots of houseplants add a touch of life to the room, whatever the time of year. Because the room is south and west facing it gets lots of natural light, so the plants do very well. The forest green colour drenching compliments the plant life.

I use furniture and layers of texture to add lots of visual interest. Throws, blankets, scatter cushions and rugs help to boost the comfort level and overall coziness.

This is part of my new slow-living diaries series, documenting the makeover of my barn house and cottage garden. In this video I do some spring preparations, planting up pots and flower beds ready for my cut-flower garden in the summer.

I enjoy and make videos all about slow living, present moment, personal growth and development, the power of now, daily routines and living mindfully. I am interested in mindfulness practices, yoga, pilates, meditation and general musings on the meaning of life. I am a classic introvert, and get my energy from solitude, quiet time and creating a peaceful home to be my daily sanctuary. I am also working on my writing, so the occasional writing vlog might appear from serene days while I work on my novel and short stories. I spend a lot of time in the garden, working on my vegetable patch, kitchen garden and cut-flowers. All of this brings me peace and joy.
