How to create a cozy living room
How to create a cozy living room in Suriname? Creating a warm and inviting living room can be the heart of your home. Let me take you on a journey through the steps you can take to turn your living room into a cozy and warm space.
On a rainy day as we so often know it in our beautiful Suriname, when the raindrops fall softly outside, you want nothing more than to come home to a cozy, cozy living room. Imagine opening the front door and a cozy atmosphere greeting you. This is the living room you’ve always wanted, and creating it is easier than you think.
Step 1: Choosing the right colors
Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by soft, warm tones that adorn the walls. The walls are painted in a soft cream or warm beige color, which immediately exude a sense of calm and comfort. Are you still longing for some color? Choose a wall from the whole and make it your accent wall by settling your favorite color in matte paint on it. These colors form the basis of a warm living room, reflecting light and warmth even on the darkest days.
Step 2: Placing Comfortable Furniture
You walk on and see an inviting sofa, upholstered in a soft, plush fabric in a warm hue like burgundy or deep brown. The sofa is surrounded by comfortable armchairs and an old-fashioned rocking chair that reminds you of grandmother’s house. Large, soft cushions in warm colours and textures invite you to plop down and relax.
Step 3: Add textures and layers
On the floor is a thick, knitted carpet that welcomes your toes with its soft texture. This carpet sits on top of a classic wooden floor, which has its own warm character. A soft plaid is draped over the back of the sofa, ready to wrap you up on those chilly evenings. These textures add an extra layer of comfort, making the space even more inviting.
Step 4: Atmospheric lighting
The lighting plays a crucial role in the warmth of the room. A chandelier hangs from the ceiling that spreads a soft, warm glow. But it’s the extra points of light that really make the magic: table lamps with fabric shades on side tables and a floor lamp next to the rocking chair.
Step 5: Add personal touches
All around you are personal touches that bring the space to life. Family photos in wooden frames adorn the walls, and the shelves are lined with beloved books and collectibles. A large, knitted tapestry hangs on the wall, a reminder of distant travels or an heirloom that has been passed down through generations. These items tell the story of your life and bring a deep, personal warmth to the room.
Step 6: Greenery and natural elements
Finally, plants and natural elements bring a touch of life and freshness to the room. Large, green houseplants stand in the corners, their leaves gently moving in the air currents. A vase of freshly cut flowers on the coffee table brings color and a subtle scent that awakens your senses.
You are now sitting comfortably in your favorite chair, a blanket wrapped around you, while the soft lighting envelops the room. This is the warm living room you have created, a haven of comfort and coziness. Here you will feel at home, surrounded by everything you love, ready to enjoy the beautiful tropical evenings in pure cosiness.
