How to create a cosy living room for winter

Create a winter sanctuary you’ll love coming home to for a snug price

As the winter wind bites, there’s nothing more comforting than snuggling down in a warm and inviting living room. Transitioning between the seasons involves an eye for texture and a love of welcoming interiors. With a few effortless additions, it’s easy to transform your space into a winter sanctuary that will make coming home a delight.

Add texture

Layer up by adding plush textiles in warming shades and tones. Wool blankets and fuzzy throw pillows are the perfect accessories to invite you to curl up and relax on the sofa. Winter whites such as cream and ivory help brighten up a space while simultaneously softening it, so make sure to invest in the Living & Co Luxe crimped faux fur throw for extra cosiness ($49).

Rug up

Nothing says snug better than a rug. A plush floor mat is an easy way to turn up the cosy vibes by adding texture to a room and creating a tactile element that can make your space feel more inviting and comfortable. There’s no need for slippers when you have something soft underfoot.

Accessorise your lounge

Hunker down in style by transforming your living room with the right accessories. Add a touch of sparkle with metallic accents, like photo frames and candle holders, to create captivating focal points throughout your space. Embrace the season’s charm by adorning your lounge with pieces that invite you to sit down and cosy up, whether a contemporary coffee table or an armchair that’s just perfect for reading and movie watching. Finally, complete the look by showcasing a gorgeous piece of art to create a welcoming ambiance on chilly winter evenings.
