1 Add plants Ken struggles with the cosy feeling because it reminds him of his family home growing up. But cosy doesn't have to mean fussy. Plants and flowers are a fresh way of softening up window ledges and bringing life to dark corners. Potted herbs in the kitchen are practical too.
2 Add textiles Ken likes a strong bold interior design, but that doesn't have to mean that there's no comfort or softness. Rugs add warmth in the dark days of the Danish winter, but can be easily rolled up and put away come spring. The same goes for cushions and throws.
3 Use bold designs Textiles don't have to be feminine. Striking patterns in monochrome are in keeping with Ken's style and feel personal.
4 Use your walls White walls feel cold and uninviting. Create a feature wall of pictures, or cheat by hanging a fabric panel as an easy way to break up space and add texture.
5 Bring in colour When it's cold outside, lively warm-toned textiles are more enticing than an ice-cool black-and-white scheme. You don't have to go all out, but a cushion or two can make all the difference.
