Ways to Embrace the Comfortcore Interior Design Trend

Comfortcore is an emerging trend in 2023. This relaxing aesthetic combines all things cosy and comfortable, from soft textures to calming colours to blankets that keep you warm on a cold winter’s day. 

In the following blog, we’ll discuss ways to embrace the comfortcore interior design for your home interior design upgrade.

Get Super Comfy Blankets

One of the core tenets of comfortcore is the use of comfortable blankets.

Whether it be classy cotton, soft silk or even ravishing rayon, choosing blankets with soft, comforting textures can make a space warmer and more welcoming, particularly on cold, dark winter evenings.

Among the possible ways of using blankets to achieve comfortcore, you may want to consider those with soft neutral shades such as pastels or greys.

Moreover, you may want to place a woven throw onto an armchair to create the ideal reading spot.

Beyond that, some even choose to opt to have a wearable blanket. That way, you can stay blanketed in comfort throughout your home.

Dive Into Nostalgia

Using old-fashioned design elements is another common component of bringing comfortcore to life.

This may mean introducing retro styles to your home that is neither overpowering nor too pronounced in a way that screams ‘outdated’.

In many cases, retro interior design isn’t quite a literal match to the styles from the time they represent.

Usually, there’s something of a modern touch, which helps to give a retro look that extra edge needed to ensure it doesn’t simply look out of place.

Some popular nostalgic interior designs today include:

• Vintage decor from a range of modern eras
• Eames chair and Ottoman for a 1950s-style design
• 1950s pastel-toned kitchen
• CH07 shell chair design
• Macramé wall art for a 1960s retro look
• Neon signs and colours to bring back the ‘80s

Obviously, it’s important that you find the right nostalgic look for your property. If in doubt, you may want to sit down with an interior designer.

The same goes for embracing comfortcore in general. By working with a professional, you can discuss ideas and work toward bringing your vision to life in a way that works.

Adding the Right Touches

Along with the obvious elements (e.g., cosy blankets and comfortable furniture), you should consider adding touches that can improve the visuals and feel of the room.

For example, why not add a teddy bear? Or some chenille fittings? Mix up the textures and features to give the room that extra level of comfort. 

You may also want to consider adding boucle, linen and velvet. Whatever the case, getting the right balance is key to ensuring you don’t overdo comfortcore and end up with too much vibrancy or an overly visually striking location.

The right wood flooring can also make a significant impact. Whether you’d like to use reclaimed wood, merge shades of grey, utilise parquet designs or try calming oak flooring, a good timber floor could play its part in bringing comfortcore to your home. 

Of course, the cost of wood flooring installations can vary significantly. The same applies to all costs involved in a comfortcore design.

Therefore, you’ll want to ensure you consider your budget when looking for all of the features and fittings needed for your new interior design, from a teddy bear to a new sofa.

Comfortcore is trending right now, so it really is an evolving interior design trend. It’s worth looking up ‘Comfortcore’ on websites like Instagram and Pinterest.
