5 Cosy Living Room Ideas

Wooden floors are popular in most living room styles, but they’re known for their warmth more than their homely feel. So with that in mind, adding a statement rug or two is a great cosy living room idea. A large simple rug under a leather sofa will make it instantly more inviting. As will a vibrant, handwoven rug under a plain wooden table. If that’s too much texture for your taste, choose a smaller rug and place it under a side table or TV stand – it’ll create the same effect, while leaving more of your wooden floor exposed.

Cosy living room ideas mean making your room more inviting, turning it into a space you want to spend time in. To add extra lounging appeal to your sofa, add decorative cushions in colours and patterns that match your interior style. Plain, monochrome or dark cushions work well in industrial living rooms, like this black and white cushion. While something richer, like this deep blue cushion, will look great in a more exotic interior arrangement.

A stark, cookie-cutter living room will always be much less appealing than one in which your personality shines through, making heartwarming trinkets and accessories another cosy living room idea. Gallery walls work well, whether of art or family photos. And pieces that reflect your personality will also add a welcoming warmth. This statement Poseidon wall hook and vintage soldier lamp both have copious character, ensuring your living room’s a cosy space to retreat to.
