4 Tips for Creating a Cozy Living Room

Your living room is a place where you gather to relax and exchange meaningful conversation. You watch movies, you may read, and maybe you cuddle with your partner on the couch. It’s also a place where you greet your guests, and host people you invite into your home.

Since this is such an important part of the house, and one you use to relax in, it’s important that you feel cozy in it. However, creating a cozy atmosphere doesn’t always necessarily come naturally. You’ll need to know the right tricks and tips to design your living room in a way that creates a cozy atmosphere. Here are some of the best ones that will create a space you love spending time in.

Colors Matter

Choosing the right colors for your living room is essential. You want colors that promote peace and relaxation, rather than ones that stimulate or overwhelm. Avoid dark colors, as this can swallow space, and make it feel not only gloomy but also smaller.

Choose light colors that make you feel happy and at peace. Usually, light pastels, beiges, or shades of white are the best way to go if you hope to feel cozy— as if you’re on a cloud.

Choose Soft Textures

Rough or scratchy textures are not your friend when it comes to getting cozy. You want to choose the textures of your living room so that they’re soft to the touch. From your couch pillows, to your throw blanket, the textures will play a significant role in how cozy you feel. Plush and soft will invite tactile relaxation, and make you want to get comfortable! Don’t be afraid to mix and match different soft materials, to achieve a cozy and original look.

Dim The Lights

Dim lighting is hugely important for creating a cozy space. Whether it’s your overhead lights or a floor lamp, go for dim and warm. Too cool and bright lights will give you the impression that you’re in a dentist’s office, or worse, the grocery store. Instead, you want to feel like you’re in a cozy lounge where you’re so relaxed you might just take a nap.

Simplify Your Décor

Regardless of how much of a fan of art you are, too many things going on at once can overstimulate your brain, and leave you feeling overwhelmed. Your brain takes in all the information around it, so when there are too many colors, images, and objects, your brain doesn’t get into the same relaxed state. Less is always more when it comes to creating a cozy space, so when in doubt, go with less instead of overcrowding your walls with too many things.
