Make your house a home. With these 7 tips you can make your living room cozier. A must in times when you spend a lot of time at home, but also a must to really feel at home in your own home.
For most people, the living room is the central place in the house. We spend less time there than in the bedroom, but the time we are there should ensure that we can fully relax. You can create a comfortable, pleasant and warm atmosphere with the tips below.
You can apply these tips in any interior and are suitable for people who live alone as well as families.
Colors have the greatest impact. That is why it is important to choose warm colors for the living room. Of course you can choose colors that are trendy right now, but it is more important to choose colors that radiate warmth. This often involves earthy color tones, which you can easily vary and combine.

It is not only the color on the wall that determines the ambiance, but also the choice of furniture material. Of course, a sleek white or black lacquered piece of furniture looks really cool, but is it really cosy? That is very different if you choose natural materials such as wood. Fortunately, wood doesn't have to be old-fashioned. You can find countless types of wood on Atmosphere.nl that give a living room the right upgrade. Think of teak, rattan and cherry wood.
In addition to furniture, you should also look at the material that is used for the other decoration of the room. This includes curtains, but also your sofa. You can also opt for the most diverse materials for this. Do you opt for a leather sofa? Don't forget to make it 'warmer' with pillows and a plaid.
For even more atmosphere, it is important to add round elements to your interior. You can do this, for example, by choosing round side tables, a round dining area or an ottoman. It is precisely these round shapes that provide more peace, balance and cosiness. By the way, you can also subtly add round elements by using the shape in accessories and lighting.
Light plays an important role in creating coziness. You can achieve this by using low beam, a beautiful wall lamp or, for example, a floor lamp. When choosing, also make sure that the lamp itself emits warm light. Can you dim the light? Then that's a good thing. Make sure the lamp is in the right place or hangs for the best result.
The right accessories in the living room provide a warm and cozy look. It is important here that you do not choose too many accessories and that you coordinate them with the furnishing in terms of colors and shapes. You also have to make sure that the accessories are put in the right place, so that it does not seem too busy. For example, you can put a beautiful bouquet or a few candles on a large coffee table. A throw, cushions on the sofa and a rug work wonders and immediately create more coziness in the living room.
Many people tend to hide everything under lock and key. That's great if you want to create a picture for your social media, but for a warm look in the living room it doesn't hurt to have an open cupboard. In fact, by turning your open cupboard into a showpiece you can perfectly emphasize the cosiness.
With an open closet you have the opportunity to add more of your personality to the room. This is possible with an open bookcase, but also with a partly open cupboard where you display certain showpieces. This is very personal and you can really go in all directions with this.
Flowers and plants are completely trendy again and are therefore part of the 2021 living trends. Lots of greenery provides tranquility and a very pleasant living environment. Besides the fact that flowers and plants contribute to a cozy atmosphere, plants in the house are also very useful. Plants have the ability to refresh the air and also provide more humidity. A must during the cold and dry months of the year.
