20 Warm and Cozy Living Rooms
With today’s busy lifestyles, having a cozy, comfortable space to unwind and relax is essential. Nothing says home like curling up on the couch with a good book in front of a warm fire. So what makes a living room cozy?
Warm lighting is probably the easiest way to cozy up a room. Incandescent lights are great for this as they naturally give off a warm relaxing glow due to how they are made. Lampshades with warm colored interiors are great for magnifying this effect. Stay away from most florescent lights and LED’s as these bulbs usually cast light mostly in the blue spectrum, which gives off a more clinical feel, the opposite of cozy. A fireplace is another great way to add warmth to your living room using light. The deep orange and yellow glow from a fire can instantly make you feel relaxed.
Another great way to make a room cozy is to include furniture using lush soft fabrics or even just adding soft pillows or a blanket can do the trick. Combine this with rich warm colors and you get that instant cozy feel. If you prefer something more subtle, even warm neutral or earthy colors will do the trick.
