Welcome to My Living Room Tour!
This post has been highly requested, and I’m finally excited to share my living room (well, at least half of it) with you all! While there are still a few areas that need a little more attention, I’m thrilled to give you a peek at what’s come together so far.
Of course, I’ll need to share an updated version with all the autumn vibes too. I’m thinking of creating a fall-inspired home post once I find the perfect “pumpkin patch” for my living room.
Since many of you have asked about where I got my home decor, I’ll be linking to as much as I can in this post. Full disclosure, I use affiliate links, so if you purchase something through one of them, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you—think of it as having your own personal shopper!
Now, what makes a great living room to me? As a total maximalist, I surround myself with everything I love: blankets, throws, pillows, and a rich palette of deep, vibrant colors. For me, that’s the formula for feeling cozy, happy, and warm.
A statement sofa
This was my first “big adult” purchase, and it’s still one of my favorites!
I fell in love with the idea of having a green velvet sofa, and for two years, I dreamed of owning this beautiful one from Made.com. It took a while, but I finally took the plunge, and I can confidently say it was totally worth it.
Without a doubt, I would make this purchase again and again—honestly, someday I might even opt for the four-seater version of this exact sofa. It’s just that perfect!
Mid-century modern furniture
Mid-century modern furniture is known for its sleek, functional design, and timeless appeal, making it an ideal choice for creating a cozy yet stylish living room. With its clean lines, organic shapes, and focus on comfort, mid-century modern pieces can blend beautifully into a variety of home decor styles while adding a touch of sophistication.
Blankets and pillows galore
When it comes to creating the ultimate cozy living room, blankets and pillows are your secret weapons. They transform a space into a warm, inviting sanctuary where you can relax, unwind, and feel completely at home.
A bright colourful rug
It really draws the room in perfectly, doesn’t it? This piece is from Wayfair, and luckily, it wasn’t too expensive. It’s the perfect addition without breaking the bank!
All the gallery walls
A gallery wall is a perfect way to personalize your cozy living room and add visual interest to your space. Whether you’re displaying artwork, family photos, or unique finds, a well-curated gallery wall can enhance the atmosphere and reflect your personal style.
Pumpkin Mug
A pumpkin mug is the perfect cozy accessory to complete your autumn-inspired living room. Not only is it a functional item for sipping your favorite hot drinks, but it also brings an extra layer of seasonal charm to your space.
Rustic Wooden Shelves
Sorry for the old photo—definitely need to update this! But I found these beauties on Etsy, and it turns out they’re from a local supplier near where we’re from—how cool is that?
Fairy Lights/Christmas Lights
Fairy lights and Christmas lights are magical additions to any living room, instantly creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Their soft, twinkling glow can turn an ordinary space into a cozy haven, perfect for relaxing or entertaining
Autumn Candles
Autumn candles are the perfect way to create a warm, inviting atmosphere in your living room as the seasons change.
Orange/Red Ivy Garland
An orange and red ivy garland is a perfect addition to your cozy living room, especially during the fall and winter months. The warm, rich tones of orange, red, and gold bring a seasonal vibe, creating an inviting and comfortable atmosphere.
conclusion
In conclusion, a bright, colorful rug is an essential addition to any cozy living room, offering both style and comfort. It serves as a vibrant focal point that can tie together the room’s decor, create visual interest, and infuse warmth into the space. Whether it’s used to complement neutral furniture, add personality to an eclectic style, or define zones in an open-plan area, a colorful rug enhances the overall atmosphere. By choosing the right size, pattern, and texture, you can transform your living room into a cozy, inviting, and dynamic space that reflects your personality and makes you feel right at home.
