Use colour to create a cosy living room

After a long day, nothing is better than relaxing in a cosy living space that welcomes you with a toasty glow. Decorate with warm, deep colours like rust, teal, golden browns and cerulean to create an inviting atmosphere.

If your living room is large, one of the best ways to create a more intimate feel is by dividing the room into smaller areas. You could paint the wall behind the television a deep, vibrant colour or even just a few shades darker than the rest of the room. You could also try a bright colour on the inside of bookshelves or on the windowsills. Creating these cosy zones within your lounge area will give the eyes a place to focus and rest.
