Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have once again captured our admiration, this time with the guestroom in their upstate New York home. The focal point of this space is a calming mustard-colored haven, featuring walls adorned in this luscious yellow shade, complemented by classic artwork and soft furnishings in orange tones. This aesthetic aligns seamlessly with the prevailing ‘Cozy Girl’ trend currently dominating social media, and it’s not just about aesthetics.
While labeling looks as ‘bedroom trends’ can sometimes imply a fleeting popularity, the Cozy Girl style is poised to gain even more traction in 2024. It revolves around cultivating home environments that provide a sense of physical comfort, nurture, and safety. Tash Bradley, the director of interior design and color psychologist at Lick, emphasizes that the appeal of this trend goes beyond the surface, extending beyond lattes and cinnamon-scented candles.
According to Bradley, the Cozy Girl aesthetic embraces a warm autumnal color palette, including burnt oranges, warming reds, earthy beiges, and grounding neutrals. The key is to opt for colors with warm yellow or red undertones, steering clear of cooler blues or grays. In this regard, Blake and Ryan’s choice of a mustard hue aligns perfectly with the trend.
The Cozy Girl approach doesn’t stop at paint choices. Bradley suggests that creating a Cozy Girl home involves layering various fabrics and textiles. When it comes to blankets, cushions, and pillows, the mantra is ‘you can’t have too many.’
While some may approach design trends cautiously, the Cozy Girl aesthetic stands out due to its tangible benefits. Drawing parallels with the hygge trend—a Danish term encapsulating coziness and the art of creating intimacy—Bradley underscores the importance of layered lighting, warm colors that envelop, and cozy evenings by the fire with loved ones.
In addition to these lifestyle benefits, Geoff McKinnen, a certified sleep coach at Amerisleep, notes that the mustard hue may contribute to better sleep. The softer shades of yellow create a tranquil environment, mimicking sunshine and alleviating strеss to promote tranquility for a peaceful night’s sleep.
For those inspired by Blake and Ryan’s Cozy Girl look, essential items like the Pumpkin Yellow Bedding Set and Tanlines Paint Sample can help recreate the inviting atmosphere in their guestroom.
