Cozy living room ideas are pretty much top of most people’s lists at the moment – for obvious reasons, when you consider that the most used space in a home is the living space. From busy family areas to quiet rooms to retreat to, cozy living room ideas should be functional and, above all, comfortable – particularly if all you crave is a soothing space to unwind in at the end of a busy day. There are plenty of big and small changes you can make to your living room to make the space feel cozier and more inviting.
Plants
Plants can add so much character and coziness in the living room.They liven up a space and there are so many different varieties of plants. The possibilities are endless. When it comes to styling with plants, have fun with it, be creative, and try new things.
Warm Shades and Patterns
Recently there are a lot more terracotta, clay and rust colors coming through. These tones are ideally suited in a country setting, and can be softened with neutral off-white living room paint ideas as a backdrop.
Coffee Table
A centrally located coffee table is ideal for hosting drinks and reading material, but it shouldn’t be an obstacle or make sofa access tricky. Avoid anything too on-trend, as you may find that you tire of it quickly and it will need to be replaced. Aim for about 12-16 inches (30-40cm) clearance all around.
Textures
As well being a great way to keep up with the latest living room trends, a biannual cushion update can also be all it takes to adapt your cozy living room ideas to the changing seasons. Cottons and linens work well in summer, while more cosseting fabrics are perfect in winter.
