So if you’re looking to add a little more warmth and comfort to your living room, here are ten decorating tips to help get you started!
10 steps to achieving a cozy living room
Your living room is the center of your home; it’s where you relax, entertain, and spend time with your family. Creating a cozy living room doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming. Follow these ten simple steps, and you’ll have a warm and inviting space.
Throw in some Luxe Fabrics
Adding lux, lusher, and richer textured fabrics to your living room are one of the quickest ways to achieve a cozy feel. To achieve a cuddly, cozy vibe, you’ll need certain types of fabrics; Fur, velvet, and Mongolian lamb, or whichever is your preference. You do not need to incorporate a whole new design for your living room, all you need to do is add up these velvet pillows, place them everywhere, place a faux-fur on your couch, and that’s it; your house is a lot cozier.
New Home Scent
This is one of the aspects of home decor that gets little attention but makes the whole difference; as the seasons change, it would also be reasonable to change your candle fragrance that suits the environment. For example, it is common that a lot of people to use sea salt fragrances during the summer, but now it is autumn, and it just doesn’t make sense to keep your old fragrance; you can opt for something thicker like a muskier leather scented candle or black pepper fragrance to make your living room cozier.
Get creative with Colors.
Every time it’s autumn, the first color palette fodder that comes to most minds is the rusty leaves color, but you could do better than that. There is a wide array of things to get color inspiration from for your autumn cozy decorations, so for this year, try something new. a quick example is getting inspiration from popular fall cocktails; That lovely deep red color of mulled wine, the gold-like color of aged whiskey, and dull green color of pear martini, and so many others you could think of.
The good old fashion cinnamon and pumpkin palette never get old, but to switch things up, how about you add a warm, moody navy rug in a plush pile, a dim-colored velvet couch, or a grey and very fluffy Ottoman?
Embrace Antiquity
Instead of getting rid of your age-long build, we advise you mix it up with your modern-day décor; old and classic design tends to give a cozy vibe. There’s this unexplained but perfect blend between old houses with modern décor; it could just be because of the simplicity of building work in the past that releases this sense of ease. We’re saying rather than changing your old building entirely, retain the millwork and paneling and then furnish it with modern pieces. This gives anyone who walks in the sense of comfort.
Select Large Sectional
We can all agree that there’s nothing as homely as an extra-large sectional sofa; everyone who steps in instantly feels relaxed and at home. You aren’t only aiming for comfort but sophistication, so you might want to keep that in mind when purchasing a sectional sofa.
We are pitching the idea of a large sectional because it creates a living room perfect for family TV night while also being great for company, a safe spot where children could run, jump, and play, and also great for adults too. The color of the sofa is another factor to consider during purchase; a deep yet rich color would do a perfect job.
Opt for Natural Wood
Do you have a large living room with not so much furniture? Natural wood is the perfect option to make a large space feel warm and homely. Using natural wood for decorations isn’t only beautiful and durable but does a perfect job of fostering texture and warmth. Natural wood is an organic component that gives one this connection to nature feel and makes one cozy and comfy.
You might get confused about how to use natural wood in your home without first tearing it down, you could use large beams in your décor or plank walls, and oak floors make a large impact in making a Cozy living room.
Put up Large Photo Frames
Get generous with your wall space, and display your images as boldly as possible. Beautiful art and photography can foster homeliness more than you can imagine. A Large black-and-white portrait would do a perfect job at bringing in the light and giving a quirky feel; colored photos also do a good job of giving a glimpse of personality into the design.
Light up With a Creative Floor Lamp
Light greatly impacts the ambiance of a room; the color, softness, and warmness would determine the mood of people snuggled up on the sofa. Rather than using a boring old table lamp, you could make all the difference with an arc floor lamp. We employed floor lamps in our design, and the result was amazing; it lit up whitespaces and called so much attention. A layered floor lamp would create better aesthetics than just a table lamp.
Use Dried Flowers under any condition.
Flowers are particularly hard to raise during fall, but you can take this burden out by using dried flowers for décor; it isn’t only easier to take care of and gives a relaxed feel to your home.
We recommend fresh hydrangeas; after they are dried up, they are perfect for cozy living room decoration and especially for autumn.
Layer Rugs
I put this tip last because everyone knows nothing says “welcome home” like rugs; the suggestion now is layering multiple rugs together. This method is perfect for drawing eyes to one particular area, even in a large space; sectionalizing spaces in your living room fosters comeliness and gives an intimate vibe.
Conclusion
We understand that with autumn upon us and winter on the way, a warm and cozy living room is what would work best, and that is why we’ve put this together for you. Select and employ some of these tips and see how your living room space becomes a warm haven for you, your family, and your guests.
