Get comfortable with seating

The seating you select for your living space is an essential element, so take comfort to the next level with plush, oversized options with comfort as a priority. Ottomans and padded armchairs as well as plush couches are the most effective way to add instant comfort to your living room.

Arrange your furnishings to foster conversion using pieces like a coffee table or a fireplace as the focus of the room.

Set the tone with colour

Warm colours are inviting and relaxing, they envelop your senses with comfort and warmth - ideal for relaxing!

Go for earthy tones and neutrals for an instant, cosy space and add soft furnishings such as cushions in complementary colours.

Thoughtful lighting

Layer your lighting scheme using warm globes. Lamps and overhead lighting work together to create a multi-level ambience and allow for peaceful lighting for reading a book in the evening.

Indulge in Texture

Nothing says luxury in a living room, quite like lush textures. From blankets and throws to fluffy cushions, consider quality fabrics such as wool for an irresistible touch of warmth and luxury in your seating area.

Bring the outdoors, in with natural elements

Inviting nature and natural aspects into your living space creates a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. Plants are an essential part of every living area, but there are even more ways to invite the outdoors in!

Natural light through beautiful windows, stone features and natural fibres are also elements of nature that will help to create an overall ambience of relaxation.

By bringing together each of these simple and effective, cosy design elements into your living room, you can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere that is inviting and cosy. Perfect to enjoy at the end of a long day.
