Ok, so the title of this post might be a little dramatic but If there is one thing that I need in my home, it is a cozy living room. This is the spot where the family comes together at the end of the day so, I am constantly looking for warm and cozy living room ideas because this space means so much to our family. That warm and cozy aesthetic is our vibe and if it’s yours, too, then keep on reading!
I don’t think I am alone in this when I say that being home more because of Covid really forced me to dive head first into my home to make it the oasis my family and I needed. Cozy family room ideas are usually something that comes along first because, like I said, we spend a lot of time in this space.
In this post I am going to share some amazingly cozy spaces and also share some items that I love to get a similar look. You will hopefully leave this post with some great warm and cozy living room ideas to implement into your own home.
This post is all about warm and cozy living room ideas.
1. Cozy Romance
I think the three things that stick out to me in this picture are the amazing beams, the fireplace, and all of the different textures. Honestly, these three things are a no fail recipe for making your space cozy. Of course, we can’t all be so lucky to have these in our homes but just because we don’t have a beautiful old home with this built in charm doesn’t mean we can’t achieve it! A warm and cozy living room needs a fireplace and there are actually some great electric ones out there that look BEAUTIFUL! I have linked my all time fav.
Get this look: limewashed walls to add texture, faux beams, french country elements, bold patterns mixed with neutrals, vintage decor and antiques
2. Polished Rustic (Warm and Cozy Living Room Ideas Favorite!)
The textured walls in this space bring so much depth and dimension – they are out of a dream! So often we see everything painted white and it is so refreshing to see the warmth of the natural wood paired with other warm and cozy colors like rust and deep gray/blue. We have a leather ottoman, some rattan chairs, a cowhide rug and antique furniture. A beautiful combination to create a lived in and cozy living room! I linked some great items to get a similar look. I’m not going to link any antiques because the fun of that is in the hunt!
Get this look: warm and cozy living room colors (think rust and deep blues and grays), masculine details, furniture with patina, oversized lighting
3. Moody Hygge
It’s the dark colors for me. I usedĀ to always be a white walls kind of girl but the older I get the more I love a good moody moment. Also notice the rustic beams and how those were added to create a little separation between the two rooms. This is such a great idea for a small space or someone with a studio to create these little pockets instead of having everything open. This space has more clean lines mixed with those rustic elements to create a wonderful balance. I feel like this gives so many cozy modern living room ideas.
Get this look: dark sofa, dark walls or statement wall, clean and modern details/decor, natural textures (wood end table, jute rug)
4. English Cottage
I don’t think that I would ever leave this chair. The rustic charm of this little space is absolutely everything! So many textures create so much coziness. I feel like this is straight out of an old english cottage – definitely The Holiday vibes! If you had the choice would you pick a new build or an old cottage? If you’re reading this blog I think I might know the answer haha.
Get this look: exposed architectural details, layered rugs/textiles, classic plaids, moody lighting
5. Light and Bright
This is a great example of a home that is light and bright but still cozy. If we switched out the coffee table to a glass table and removed the baskets and pillows, it would be a totally different vibe. Adding in woven textures and different patterns/textures with pillows creates a lot of warmth and dimension. I also see a vintage side table with some time worn patina – something that just can’t be done in a factory. That is why antique and vintage items are such treasures. One of my favorite Etsy shops has amazing textiles and pillows: Linked here!
Get the look: Wicker/Rattan furniture, Baskets, white walls, plants, textured pillows
6. Nooks and Books (Warm and Cozy Living Room Ideas Favorite!)
When you have a house with built in character (ahem, ceilings… ahem, fireplace) you are basically getting a huge jump start on your cozy game. Adding character in a house can definitely be done but is so much easier when it is already there. Em Henderson does an amzing job of keeping the soul of the house but adding the appropriate updates to bring it into a more modern time. And there is something about a nook that just is so effortless and special. Imagine this: the snow is falling outside, the fire is going, you have a glass of wine and your favorite book and you are curled up enjoying a lazy afternoon. Perfection!
Can we take a moment to talk about these cozy living room colors, too? I love the gray which is the perfect balance to the warmth of the wood tone.
Get the look: plush rug, cozy nook, paneling, natural textures and lots of pillows
7. Cozy Neutral (Warm and Cozy Living Room Ideas Favorite!)
Of course this one is one of my favs because it’s my house! Tada! If you know me, you know I love antiques and anything with a story. Bringing pieces with soul into my home means more to me than getting the latest piece at Target (although, I’m not gonna lie – Mama loves a good Target Run). I will never forget, probably 20 years ago now (wow… feelin’ oldddd) it was my birthday and instead of new clothes or anything like that, I had begged my grandma to buy me an old wooden chair from the thrift store. It was $4 but it was the most perfect gift. I still have it to this day. So, I love furniture that looks a little loved. A couple of dings and dents? No Biggie! I’ve got 3 boys after all haha! This piece here is al old wardrobe I picked up in an old barn š I like mixing pieces like this with neutral patterns to create my perfect warm and cozy aesthetic.
Get the look: Patterned pillows and blankets, Furniture with patina, natural textures and textiles, candles
