Hello World! Welcome Friends! When we usually think of a place in our home to snuggle up, the bedroom is probably the first thing that comes to mind. Of course, it is a fantastic option with the plushy pillow-filled bed and all our belongings so close to reaching. But what if I told you that you could expand your horizon of comfort to outside the bedroom? Think about the next best place you can get cozy.
That’s right! It’s your living room. Even though I mentioned it being the “next best place,” you can easily make it the number one place of rest. As the name suggests, your “living” room is where you live your day-to-day life, so ensuring a snug warmth in this place only makes sense.
Some may find it easier to create this atmosphere when decorating a smaller living room, as the closeness of the walls creates a secure and contained feeling. However, bringing this feeling into a large living room is possible, and with our help, you can ensure that it will be your favorite homey spot. Instead of seeing this vast space as empty and cold, you can tweak this outlook by bringing in warmth and your taste.
So, if you’re struggling to think of ways to achieve this, stress no more! Read on to learn about our tips on cozying up your large living room.
Create a Focal Point
Creating a focal point that draws the eye and anchors the space when decorating a large living room is essential. This could be a large piece of artwork, a statement rug, a fireplace, or a feature wall. Once you have a focal point, you can build your design scheme around it, creating a cohesive and cozy atmosphere.
Chair Beds
What better way to transport the benefits of a bedroom into your living room than by getting chair beds? Chair beds are chairs that can unfold into a bed. During the day, it functions as a comfortable chair that can be used for reading, watching TV, or working.
But at night, they can quickly and easily be transformed into a bed, providing a cozy and comfortable place to sleep or laze around. With a wide range of styles and designs available, chair beds can be an attractive and practical addition to any room in your home.
Furthermore, an advantage of having a large living room is that you need not be limited by the number of chair beds you need. Think about how many you can buy while considering yourself and any friends or family who may come over to stay! Overall, chair beds are a smart and convenient choice for anyone looking to make the most of their living space.
Warm Colors
Colors set the mood for the way you want your space to feel. Decorating your living room with warmer colors is the best way to achieve that snug feel. Earthy tones, such as browns, beiges, and greens, are perfect for comfort and relaxation.
Since you aim to decorate a large living room, these toasty colors will bring a sense of unity to your space, making the seemingly endless lengths of the room seem comforting rather than frightening. If you prefer brighter colors, you could always introduce pops of color with accessories and soft furnishings, such as throw pillows, blankets, and curtains!
Scale Your Furniture
One of the biggest challenges when decorating a large living room is getting the scaling right. If you have too many small pieces of furniture, the space can feel cluttered and disconnected. Conversely, if you have oversized furniture, it can overwhelm the room and make it disproportionate.
To create a cozy living room, strike a balance between large and small pieces. Choose a statement sofa or sectional, then layer in smaller chairs, ottomans, and side tables to create a comfortable and inviting seating area.
Roll Out the Rugs
Rugs are the perfect items around your living room to bring it to life and give it a soft and safe feel. The mood you can create with them depends on your choice of color and texture. Additionally, you can use them to define different zones within this expensive space!
You could place a large rug under your seating area to create a cozy conversation space and then use smaller rugs to define other room areas. This will help create a sense of flow and organization and add texture and warmth to the space.
Essentials
When we mention “essentials,” we’re talking about essential items to amplify all these snuggles. Feather-filled pillows, a larger television, a bookshelf of your dreams, and so on.
Just like your living room, think big! The items you choose will differ depending on your taste and personal preferences, but it all boils down to making your space the coziest for yourself!
