In winter, more than ever, the home is our comfort zone. This season’s decor should make you want to curl up in the coziest corners of the house. The materials to favor are wood, velvet, wool… In other words, avoid anything that conveys cold or the idea of cold. To take things a step further, you can dress your interior walls with cocooning coverings that meet these criteria. Here are a few ideas.
Decorating ideas for a warm living room
Orsol, a specialist in low-carbon stone, offers top-of-the-range cladding products for every room in the house. For a warm living room, textured red brick is a must, while smooth stone goes easily with contemporary interiors.
Textured red facing brick near the fireplace
The natural hues of brick are perfectly reproduced by Orsol facings. Non-flammable, these products can be installed quickly and easily behind a stove or around a fireplace insert. Nevertheless, a few precautions must be taken to ensure proper installation. The Orsol team is at your disposal to answer any questions you may have. You’ll also find advice and best practices in this article on installing cladding behind a heat source.
Smooth stone finishes for contemporary warmth
It’s not easy to create coziness in a contemporary interior. Generous volumes, large bay windows, the cool aesthetic of metal and raw materials… At first sight, this style is in opposition to rustic architecture and its small cottage or country house-style interiors. To bring warmth to these modern spaces, you need to play with furniture, accessories (curtains, plaids, cushions…), lighting and coverings. In the Orsol collection, smooth-finish facing stones such as Bercy or Infinity are ideal for bridging the gap between modernity and conviviality.
Cosy and comforting bedroom furnishings
In bedrooms, your cozy bedding will ideally be framed by a textured stone accent wall to give the room relief. The idea is to move away from aseptic walls and avoid uniformity of shape and color.
Several Orsol solutions meet this challenge with irregular stones and a variety of colors in warm shades. The Causse and Manoir collections offer reconstituted stone in a variety of sizes and harmonious shades, starting with a “sienna” or slightly darker “rose red” tone.
The Meulière collection also offers a variety of colors and stone sizes, but with the deeper reliefs characteristic of meulière stone. The rubble look and shell-like reliefs are ideal for decorating a cosy bedroom in winter.
Original, easy-care kitchen surfaces
The kitchen is a convivial space that must above all remain functional. So, a warm winter decor, yes, but not at the cost of brightness.
Aged limestone is ideal for adding depth while reflecting light. With the Causse collection on trellis, the stones are assembled seamlessly in highly instinctive, irregular patterns. Shades range from “natural” to “golden beige” for clarity. Ideal for a rustic kitchen.
For more contemporary, but no less cozy interiors, the Cubik collection is a good option. It, too, brings a dose of irregularity, but with rectangular-shaped stones. A fine balance between raw texture and controlled form, reminiscent of the geometric volumes of modern buildings.
Easy to maintain, Orsol siding can be cleaned to preserve its original appearance, even in rooms prone to soiling.
