Living room, is the place where there is comfort and chaos, it’s where, friendly conversations spark and cringe worthy awkward moments take leap, but admits all these, most importantly it’s where you’re able to curl up and chill with clothes that wouldn’t even sell on a garage sale, and hair resembling a bird’s nest. It’s where you feel the most home. Whether they’re designed inspired by the Stone Age era, or the modern contemporary style, either way, one thing that needs to be crucially focused on is, whether they have an air of comfort embracing you every time you step in. Read on for a few design tips that will help you give a warm and welcoming feel to your living room.

Use a Bold Pallet.

If you’re pondering on which colours to use on your walls, go for bold rich hues to create comfort. Although the two sound like they’re fire and ice, they actually complement well. We tend to make a common mistake by focusing on a light and neutral colour palette, but it actually works the other way, and in fact, using dark and bold colours create an impression of warmth, making you feel like you’re embraced with a warm bear hug. Living rooms enveloped in navy blues and dark greys are bound to set an aura of comfort at the same time giving it a profoundly sophisticated look. But do let your ideal architectural builder know that you don’t want it to look like a cave either so they find a way to let ample amount of light wash in.

Install a Fireplace.

Nothing feels more cliché and old-school, than curling up with a wonderful read, sitting in front of a fireplace with coffee on a winter’s noon. But again, nothing else screams comfort at its peak either. Unless you’re not a fan of books and would rather binge watch boring documentaries than bury yourself in a book that is. Asking your custom home builders Southport to install a traditional wood burning fireplace is an ideal way to set the mood for a living room, but if that doesn’t seem possible given the style of your home, then even a gas burning or electrical one works. I can literally feel the comfort that lies in coming after a long day of work to chill before a roaring fireplace.

Go with The Seasons.

If you want to have a living room that’s warm and comfy throughout the year, then you need to mix and match according with the seasons. I’m not talking about the furniture, now that would sound absolutely ridiculous unless you’ve got a plant that blooms money. It’s about the little things you could add and remove, like knitted and layered materials would be ideal for winter, but in summer they’re going to look convincingly out of place. But soft textures with natural design fabrics, are the accents that complement well with spring or summer. You could replace thick and heavy ones with light weight drapes during the hot days, and throw in thick rugs during the winter season.
