Pro tip: Interior designers often place living room seating in a more circular or closed formation to create a cocooning effect. Wraparound sectionals can effortlessly mimic this cozy embrace. Or you can add a matching pair of chairs for symmetry and balance.
Get all the coziness of a fireplace without any of the mess or maintenance. The new age of electric fireplaces adds a calming glow and delicious crackling sounds to the entire living room.
Layering is smart for the outdoors, but what about layering lighting? Adding ambient light like sconces and table lamps to your overhead lighting can add a soft, inviting glow. To really fine-tune the brightness, opt for lamps with dimmers.
Bare surfaces can look refreshing in the summer but stark and cold once the temperatures drop. Add wall hanging and window drapes to ward off the chill, area rugs to ground the space, and various throws, pillows, and poufs for seasonal flair and warmth.
