Five Ways to Create a Cosy Living Room

Your home should be a place of comfort and serenity. A place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the busy world and simply relax at the end of your day. Having a space in your home that feels like a sanctuary is an absolute necessity. However, not everyone knows how to make a room feel cosy. You can throw all the money in the world at your living room and still come out with a space that feels cold and uninviting. 

If you’re planning on undergoing a renovation or you would simply like to give your living room an effortless revamp, you have come to the right palace. Here are five ways you can create a cosy living room. 

Add Layers and Texture 

The secret to creating warmth with your interior design lies in mixing different textures and creating layers. This will help bring your designs to life and avoid that one-dimensional look. Incorporate fabrics such as velvet, wool, and linen all together through your use of pillows, blankets, rugs, and furniture. 

Light Some Candles 

Want to make your living room feel inviting? It needs to smell inviting first. Candles are a great way to add a unique characteristic to your living space. Plus, if you’re someone that easily gets bored, you can change up the scents whenever you want. Some of our favourite cosy scents include warm vanilla, mixed spice, and tonka bean. 

Opt For Comfort 

Above all, a cosy living room needs to radiate comfort. It’s difficult to snuggle up on a sofa that is too stiff and rigid. Instead, you should opt for something that feels like a cloud, such a modern recliner sofa. Ideally, you should be able to put your feet up and forget about all your troubles. 

Add Rustic Materials 

If you’re struggling to make your living room, feel warm and cosy, you may need to incorporate more rustic materials into your design. Metallic and modern furniture may look great on the pages of a magazine, but it’s not exactly the most comforting aesthetic to live in. Look for furniture and decorative items with wood, burlap, rattan, and wicker materials. 

Create a Gallery Wall 

One of the most popular trends in interior design is the use of a gallery wall. This is perfect for when you have lots of blank space and no idea what to do with it. You can treat your walls as a blank canvas. Fill the area with frames of your favourite art prints and pictures of loved ones. 

We have tried to make sure our options fit a wide range of styles and budgets so that a cosy living room can be within everyone’s reach. If you’re eager to get started, but not sure what you want to achieve style-wise, we suggest you go look for inspiration on sites like Instagram or Pinterest. All in all, don’t forget to have fun whilst designing and enjoying your new cosy living room.
