Design Trend: "Cocooning"

cocooning:

"the practice of spending leisure time at home in preference to going out."

I believe that throughout the pandemic, we were all in a state of cocooning. Our homes served as our workplaces, entertainment venues, and dining establishments. Our homes have become the focal point of our lives, and we desire them to meet all of our requirements, and a place to cocoon.

Cocooning has become a popular design trend today long after the Covid pandemic.

Let's start exploring the design concept known as Cocooning. How can we create a cocooning atmosphere in our spaces?

Painting your space in the same color for the ceiling, molding, walls, bookcases, and shelving is a powerful method to create a cocooning effect. This approach can make small rooms seem larger. Opting for a soft, cool tone can evoke a zen ambiance, while darker shades can introduce a sense of drama. Before committing to a monochromatic scheme, consider the mood you wish to establish.

Above👆, the cover photo showcases a tranquil and comfortable cocooning space. The designer has enhanced the cocooning experience by incorporating pillows and throws in matching tones.

Even just a reading corner can be a cozy space to cocoon in. Notice all of shelves and settee are painted in the same shade of beige. The bookcase and seating look like they are

built-ins. Adding soft pillows make a cozy retreat.

In addition to reading, one could comfortably work on their laptop and send emails.

It is essential to create a cocooning atmosphere in your bathroom.

Use soft, plush towels, gentle paint colors, and a luxurious soaking tub. Relax in your soaking tub surrounded by glowing candles for the ultimate cocooning experience. Remember to use your favorite spa products!
