Are you the type of person who loves to kick back, relax, and curl up with a good book? Does your living room provide you with an inviting and cozy atmosphere? If not, it’s time to create a living space you’ll love spending time in. Here are some tips to help you achieve the perfect balance between style and comfort!
Choose Warm, Inviting Colours
When it comes to creating a cozy living room, colours play a crucial role. Choose warm, earthy tones like beige, brown, and cream for a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. Add pops of colour through accessories like throw pillows and area rugs. Personally, I like to bring in pops of warm green, blue, and deep purple. Select the tones that make the most sense to you and get to decorating!
Incorporate Natural Textures
Natural textures like woven baskets, wooden coffee tables, and jute rugs add a touch of warmth and coziness to any space. Use natural textures to create a layered look that’s both stylish and comfortable.
Invest in Plush Furniture
Your living room is the place where you relax, so invest in comfortable and plush furniture pieces like a cozy sofa and armchair. Choose upholstered furniture in soft fabrics like velvet or microfiber for a comfortable and cozy feel. My next addition will most definitely be a deep blue velvet accent chair – there perfect way to bring a bit of warmth and comfort to my living room.
Accessorize with Cozy Throws and Pillows
Nothing says cozy like a soft and warm blanket. Add texture and warmth by accessorizing with cozy throws and pillows. Mix and match patterns and textures to create a layered look that’s both stylish and functional.
Add Ambient Lighting
Lighting sets the mood in any room. Create a cozy and inviting atmosphere by incorporating ambient lighting like floor lamps, table lamps, and candles. Choose warm yellow or amber lights instead of harsh white lights to create a cozy and welcoming environment.
Display Art and Decor That You Love
Creating a comfortable and stylish living room is about creating a space that tells your story. Display art and decor that you love to create a personal and inviting space. If you’re stuck on where to start when it comes to art displays, click here for inspiration from Better Living.
Create a Focal Point
Every living room needs a focal point. Choose something that you love like a statement piece of art or a fireplace. Arrange furniture around your focal point to create a comfortable and inviting gathering space.
Creating a cozy and stylish living room is all about finding the perfect balance between style and comfort. Choose warm colours, natural textures, and plush furniture for a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Accessorize with cozy throws and pillows, add ambient lighting, and display art and decor that you love to create a personal and welcoming space. Let your creativity and personal style shine through by experimenting with different design elements and decor items – after all, it is almost Hygge season!
If you’re unfamiliar with Hygge, (pronounced ‘hoo-geh’), the cultural word loosely translates to a feeling of coziness and togetherness that can be experienced in a multitude of ways. As Soho House explains, “From lighting a scented candle during a Sunday night Netflix binge to catching up with a friend over a cup of coffee at Soho House Copenhagen, hygge is anything and everything that makes you feel a sense of warmth, intimacy and rusticity – at times, all at once.”
Take some time over the weekend to get inspired, and map out what Hygge means to you – and how you can bring this to life in your home!
