A cozy living room comes down to a few things: seating you want to sink into, soft textures, warm light and a layout that makes conversation easy. Here is how to put it together, one piece at a time.
1. Start with Comfortable Seating
Your sofa sets the tone for the whole room. Modular sofas are easy to rearrange as your space changes, like this beige modular sectional or the green chenille modular sofa. For a smaller room, a loveseat such as the Nordic green loveseat leaves space to move.
2. Add an Accent Chair or Two
An accent chair creates a reading corner and gives guests their own spot. A swivel chair like the swivel barrel chair turns toward the TV or the conversation; a glider rocking chair is made for slow evenings.
3. Ground the Room with a Coffee Table
Leave about 16 to 18 inches between the sofa and the coffee table so drinks are in reach and legs still have room. Tables with storage, like this oval coffee table with a drawer, keep remotes and magazines out of sight.
4. Layer Soft Textures
Poufs, throws and cushions make a room feel finished. A pouf works as a footrest, extra seat or side table; try a knitted cotton pouf or a fabric cylindrical pouf.
5. Use Warm, Layered Lighting
Overhead light alone can feel harsh. Add a floor lamp by the sofa, such as the boho rattan floor lamp, and pick warm white bulbs (about 2700K to 3000K) for a softer glow. Our ceiling lighting and lamp guide covers the rest.
