When you step into an inviting living room, you want to feel like you can truly relax and leave all your stress at the door.

You don’t want to feel like you can’t put your feet up on the couch or curl up to watch a comforting movie. In most modern homes, living rooms have simply become a showroom in which to welcome guests.

With the right approach, you can create a living space that is as functional as it is cozy. After reading this blog and taking on its tips, you’ll be left with a home that nobody wants to leave.

Without further ado, here are eleven ways that you can make your living room feel more inviting.

Create a Mood Board

Before you get excited and start purchasing all kinds of decor, artwork, and furniture, it’s important to have a vision that you can work towards. The best way to do so is by creating a mood board online or physically.

Choose Lighting Carefully

When it comes to choosing your light fixtures, you want to make sure you pick options that contribute to the overall ambiance. Pick textured lamp shades that will help diffuse the light evenly, such as feather shades. We also recommend you opt for warmer-toned bulbs.

Pick a Signature Scent

When you have a signature scent, you are instantly transported into a specific type of mood. Give your living room its own personality by lighting your favorite candle or incense. Jasmine, rosemary, and lavender are all considered relaxing scents.

Remove Unnecessary Clutter

It’s hard to unwind when you’re surrounded by unnecessary clutter and junk. Free your mind, and your living room, by donating any items that no longer serve you. Try to be as ruthless as possible and adopt a more minimalist lifestyle.

Add Personal Touches

You don’t want your living room to feel cold or depersonalized, so don’t be afraid to add your personal touch to the space. You can hang up your own artwork and images of friends or family. If you’re wondering what to do with a blank space, why not go for a gallery wall and mismatch all your favorite pieces?

Invest in a Luxurious Throw

If there’s any item that’s worth splurging on when it comes to creating a cozy living room, it’s definitely a luxurious throw. Not only do these add a great deal of texture to a space, but they also make the perfect blanket for a cold winter’s night.

Incorporate Plenty of Greenery

You can never have too much greenery in a living room. Indoor plants help bring a sense of freshness to the room, and they even increase the air quality in the environment. If you’re a beginner, we recommend you purchase some easy indoor plants such as cacti, fiddle leaf figs, and succulents.

Encourage Conversations

When you make the TV the focal point of your living room and position all the furniture around it, you’re not leaving much space for socialization. Rearrange your living room in a way that encourages conversations and creates an inviting environment.

Make the Most of the Fireplace

What’s more welcoming than a warm and cozy fireplace waiting for people to gather around? If you have the luxury of owning a fireplace, make sure to take advantage. You can get the family round to make s’mores or simply enjoy the crackling sounds of the embers.

Create a Reading Nook

Another way to add comfort to your living space is by creating a reading nook. Find a corner of the room in which you can place a comfortable loveseat. Place your book collection on the surrounding shelves and make sure to include some kind of lighting nearby.

Embrace Your Personal Style

At the end of the day, you’ve got to make style choices that embrace and reflect your personality. There’s no point in following all the latest trends if it’s not going to make you happy. Don’t hesitate to make your living room uniquely yours.

Whether you’re somebody who loves entertaining guests or an introvert who is seeking a place where they can unwind, we hope these design tips and tricks have served you well.

Design is a lengthy process that takes careful planning and preparation. We recommend that you create an inspiring mood board and play around with different options before you commit to making any sizable purchases.

Hopefully, you are inspired to create the most inviting living room for your lifestyle.
