A red living room and cozy reading room in one

Red living room by day, cozy reading nook by night. There’s plenty of room here to sit, stretch, read, or surf the web on a comfy sofa and long chaise.

Armchairs help break up the living room into different zones to create a “my space, your space” situation. So you can read while your partner surfs from the couch.

Mix and match your cushion colours, patterns and textures to create a look you love. The trick is to use colours that complement your sofa, plus a shade or two that pop. This will keep your collection from looking too monochromatic.

Don’t have a working fireplace? Get a cozy feeling with candles on the mantelpiece. You may not be able to light a fire, but you can change up your candle holders.

Pick a set of lightweight coffee tables if your family members are big media consumers. They will be easy to move around the living room, so everyone can have their own space for snacks, drinks and tech.

You can dedicate a wall to storage by arranging square shelves in a stairway effect. The coloured units coordinate with the cushions below. Plus, there’s a perfect perch for their projector.
